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, starring and executive produced by David Oyelowo, is released from prison, his long-awaited family reunion doesn't go quite as he'd planned; during his absence, Hampton's wife and sons have formed an unconventional family unit and Hampton's return spins their world into chaos.
Simone Missick, Jahi Di’Allo Winston and Evan Ellison also star alongside Oyelowo in the series, created by Paul Hunter and Aeysha Carr. The ensemble cast also includes Bokeem Woodbine, Jeremy Bobb, Louis Cancelmi, Julien Heron, Djilali Rez-Kallah, Louis Ferreira, Thomas Beaudoin, Kyle Mac with John Ortiz and Adam Beach.
The 10-episode series premieries on Apple TV+ on April 16.
