Singer/songwriter-turned-Broadway star Sara Bareilles’s new TV series has been picked up by bosses at Apple TV+. Little Voice, the show Sara helped create with J.J.
Abrams, will premiere on the streaming service in July. The series stars Brittany O’Grady as a talented performer struggling to follow her dreams in New York City.
Sara wrote the original music for the series, which features a pilot episode written and directed by Jessie Nelson, her collaborator on the Broadway musical Waitress.
Bareilles and Nelson executive produced the series with Abrams and his Bad Robot Productions partner Ben Stephenson. The news comes at a good time for Sara, who recently revealed she had tested positive for Covid-19 but had battled the virus and won.
