There’s a new movie set to come out on AppleTV+ this month about a U.S. expatriate living in Japan.

“Sunny” stars Rashida Jones as Suzie, a U.S. expatriate living in Kyoto, Japan, whose life is upended when her Japanese husband and son disappear in a mysterious plane crash.

As a “consolation,” she’s given Sunny, one of a new class of domestic robots made by her husband’s electronics company. While at first Suzie resents Sunny’s attempts to fill the void in her life, gradually they develop an unexpected friendship.

Together, they uncover the dark truth of what really happened to Suzie’s family and become dangerously enmeshed in a world Suzie never knew existed.

“Sunny” stars Jones — whose father is of Cameroonian ancestry and mother is Ashkenazi Jewish from Latvia — along with Hidetoshi Nishijima, Joanna Sotomura, Judy Ongg, Jun Kunimura, YOU and annie the clumsy.

The series is based on the book “The Dark Manual” by Japan-based, award-winning Irish writer Colin O’Sullivan.

“Sunny” will stream globally on Apple TV+ on July 10.
