This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

The official trailer for Solos has dropped, starring Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and Anne Hathaway.

The star-studded anthology series from creator David Weil (Hunters) also features Uzo Aduba, Nicole Beharie, Anthony Mackie, Dan Stevens and Constance Wu.

Each of the seven episodes is a 30-minute monologue, exploring the deeper meaning of human connection.

The series aims to “illuminate that even during our most seemingly isolated moments, in the most disparate of circumstances, we are all connected through the human experience”, according to Amazon.

Freeman’s character, who has Alzheimer’s, can be heard saying: “Though we all feel alone in different ways, in feeling alone we are somehow all together.”

Mirren stars as a woman alone on a space shuttle and Hathaway plays a scientist who discovers time travel in an episode directed by Zach Braff.

Solos will launch on 21 May on Amazon Prime.
