Recently, Apple TV+ released the trailer for its upcoming series Government Cheese starring David Oyelowo. In the trailer, David Oyelowo is a newly released amateur inventor trying to build up a new life for his family, with “Don’t Crowd Me” by Keith Kessler and The Impulses playing in the background.

According to a press release from Apple TV+, the synopsis for the series is as follows: “Government Cheese is a surrealist family comedy set in 1969 San Fernando Valley that tells the story of the Chambers, a quirky family pursuing lofty and seemingly impossible dreams, beautifully unfettered by the realities of the world. When Hampton Chambers is released from prison, his long-awaited family reunion doesn’t go quite as he’d planned. During his absence, Hampton’s wife, Astoria, and sons, Einstein and Harrison, have formed an unconventional family unit, and Hampton’s return spins their world into chaos."

Government Cheese stars David Oyelowo, Simone Missick, Jahi D'Allo Winston, Evan Ellison, Bokeem Woodbine, Louis Cancelmi, Jean-Michel Richard, London Garcia, DJilali Rez-Kallah, Julien Heron, Louis Ferreira, Thomas Beaudoin, Kyle Mac, John Ortiz, and Adam Beach.

Paul Hunter and Aayesha Carr are the creators and showrunners of Government Cheese. They are set to serve as executive producers along with David Oyelowo under his Yoruba Saxon banner. Other executive producers are Charles D Kind and Jelani Johnson under the MARCO Television Studios and Ali Brown under the Ventureland banner.

Government Cheese will premiere on Apple TV+ on April 17.
