OlderHailee Steinfeld Strives To Be a Poet in First Trailer For 'Dickinson'
Hailee Steinfeld writes by candlelight in the new trailer for her Apple TV series, Dickinson.
The upcoming show is told through the lens of poet Emily Dickinson, who finds her to be an unexpected hero for our millennial era. Set in the 19th century, the series explores the constraints of society, gender and family from the perspective of a rebellious young poet who was ahead of her time.
“It’s been so incredible to be working with Apple on this project, as its a new venture for them, and for me as well — I’ve really never done anything in the TV space so a lot of how this is all working is all new to me too,” Hailee shared in a new interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1.
She added, “I’m executive producing the show which is my first time filling that role. I mean the reason I wanted to do that was going back to the first time I read the script it really felt unlike anything I’d ever come across so I wanted to show up in a way that wasn’t just as an actor… I wanted to be a part of these decision making processes and see things through from the beginning middle to end and its been a wonderful experience.”
Dickinson premieres on November 1st.
