Meryl Streep leads A-list cast for Apple TV Plus climate change anthology series 'Extrapolations'

Meryl Streep is artistically doubling down on climate change.

Apple announced Tuesday that the three-time Oscar winner will star in the forthcoming Apple TV Plus anthology series about climate change titled Extrapolations, as relayed by Deadline and Variety.

According to both outlets, the specifics of Streep's role aren't yet known.

"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," Scott Z. Burns, the project's director, executive producer and writer said, per 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."

The cast includes Gemma Chan, Daveed Diggs, Adarsh Gourav, Kit Harington, Sienna Miller, David Schwimmer, Tahar Rahim and Matthew Rhys.

Streep also stars as indifferent President Janie Orlean in Adam McKay's forthcoming Don't Look Up, due in December, which "tells the story of two low-level astronomers who must go on a giant media tour to warn mankind of an approaching comet that will destroy planet Earth." Oh, yeah: those low-level astronomers happen to be played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence.
