Production

It was announced in January 2020 that Scott Z. Burns had been developing an anthology series about climate change that had been nearing a series order from Apple TV+.[4] It would officially be greenlit in December for a ten-episode season.[5]

Filming for the series had begun by October 2021 in New York City under the working title Gaia, with Burns serving as writer and director, and Meryl Streep, Sienna Miller, Kit Harington, Tahar Rahim, Matthew Rhys, Daveed Diggs, Gemma Chan, David Schwimmer, Adarsh Gourav, Forest Whitaker, Marion Cotillard, Tobey Maguire, and Eiza González cast to star. The series would now only run for an eight-episode season.[6][7][8] In November, Edward Norton, Indira Varma, Keri Russell, Cherry Jones and Michael Gandolfini were added to the cast.[9] In January 2022, additional castings were announced including Murray Bartlett, Yara Shahidi, Diane Lane, Heather Graham and Judd Hirsch.[10] It was announced in February 2022 that Ellen Kuras would participate in the directing of the series.[11]

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes has reported a 43% approval rating with an average rating of 5.8/10, based on 27 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus says:

"Extrapolations' civic-minded storytelling is so sprawling that it never coheres into a satisfying whole, although its sheer star power and good intentions make for a mildly intriguing lecture."[12]

Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, has assigned a score of 57 out of 100 based on 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[13]

In a review published by the Los Angeles Review of Books, Aaron Bady criticized the show for primarily featuring the experiences of "Rich Americans".[14] Bady also criticized the show for not "focusing" on fossil fuels.[14]
