Paramount+ has unveiled the first photos from Little Wing, a coming-of-age film inspired by Susan Orlean’s The New Yorker article. The first batch of photos was accompanied by the announcement that the heartwarming story set in the world of pigeon racing will premiere on March 13, 2024.
Succession‘s Brian Cox stars as pigeon racer Jaan, alongside Yellowstone‘s Kelly Reilly as Maddie, Cocaine Bear‘s Brooklynn Prince as Kaitlyn, and Me Time‘s Che Tafari as Adam. Emmy nominee Dean Israelite (Power Rangers) directed and Oscar nominee John Gatins (Flight) wrote the screenplay. Executive producers include Israelite, Cox, Karen Rosenfelt, Donald De Line, Susan Orlean, Don Dunn, and Liz Brandenburg. John Gatins and Naomi Despres serve as producers.
“Little Wing follows Kaitlyn, a teen who is reeling from her parents’ divorce and the pending loss of her home. She and her best friend hope to solve her mother’s financial woes by stealing a valuable bird, but Kaitlyn, instead, forms a bond with the owner, that leads her to a new outlook on life,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis.
