From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Indian actor Adarsh Gourav has been cast in the Apple TV+ climate change drama series Extrapolations, alongside Meryl Streep, Kit Harington, and Gemma Chan.

Produced, and written by Scott Z Burns, the show will also star David Schwimmer, Sienna Miller, Tahar Rahim, Matthew Rhys, and Daveed Diggs.

According to the synopsis, the eight-episode series will tell “stories of how the upcoming changes to the planet will affect love, faith, work, and family on a personal and human scale”.

“The only thing we know for sure about the future is that we are all going there together— and we’re taking with us our hopes, our fears, our appetites, our creativity, our capacity for love and our predilection to cause pain,” Burns said, as reported in Deadline.

“These are the same tools that storytellers have been using since the beginning of time. Our show is just using them to keep time from running out,” he added.

Gourav is set to play the role of a driver for hire in the series.
