Apple TV+ is set to come out with a filmed version of the Tony and the Olivier Award-winning blockbuster musical ‘Come from Away’. The upcoming project tells the story of 7,000 people stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland after 38 flights to the US were suddenly ordered to land in the town on September 11, 2001.

The people of Newfoundland graciously welcome them after the deadly 9/11 Twin Tower attack and made memories that will never be forgotten. There have been various renditions of the story and countries like Canada, Ireland, UK and Australia have also come out with their own productions to tell the beautiful tale of kindness.

As far as the theatre production is concerned, it has been widely praised by the audiences as well as the critics. So, it will be interesting to see how viewers will react to the filmed version.
