The 'Dickinson' Season 2 Trailer Wrestles with Issues of Fame and Legacy
Dickinson is the little AppleTV+ series that could, a thoughtful, anachronistic, and totally fun comedy-drama that far too few people have seen
Actress Hailee Steinfeld stars as a young version of the famous poet Emily Dickinson and the story is a wild reimagining of the life of a woman we too often remember as a sad recluse into a woman who was truly ahead of her time. The show features everything from modern slang to hip hop music to drugs and extended dance breaks and Wiz Khalifa as the personification of death. As a series, it is truly original and gives us a version of the famous poet that deliberately clashes with the way she is normally depicted in popular culture.
The series is set to return for its second season in January, and Apple TV has dropped the first trailer for its return. The clip features the same sort of dark and irreverent tone that characterized Dickinson's first season and promises more of the same in Season 2.
