What is Prodigies about?
The series is described as an unusual take on a classic romantic comedy, as Prodigies explores the universal complexities of long-term relationships through the lens of a very unique couple. Following Didi (Edebiri) and Ren (Sharpe), two ex-child prodigies who have been together since they were children, the series picks up in their early 30s as they begin questioning their ordinary existence and whether it lives up to the extraordinary promise of their childhood.
As they put their own lives under a microscope, Didi and Ren also inevitably begin asking the same questions of their own relationship. As individual hopes and needs feed into and conflict with their shared lives, the series challenges the concept that the tale of romance is over when the heroes get together.
Who makes Prodigies?
Prodigies is created and written for television by series star Sharpe, who serves as an executive producer alongside costar Edebiri, Jane Featherstone, Naomi de Pear, and Katie Carpenter.
