Starring Hiddleston as Worsley, this is a spellbinding story of courage, love, family and the extremes of human capacity."The White Darkness" will be produced for Apple TV+ by Apple Studios and UCP. In addition to Hiddleston, Hugh, Heyman and Kang-Lowe, the series is also executive produced by Caroline Garity of Blue Marble Pictures. This marks the second partnership for Hugh, Blue Marble Pictures and Apple TV+ following the recently premiered, broadly and critically hailed series "Pachinko," which Hugh wrote, produced and showran, and Kang executive produced, and is currently in season on Apple TV+.
