Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Academy Award-winning actress Kate Winslet have joined the HBO Max original series, A World of Calm, which is set to stream on 1 October. The ten-episode series is being promoted as a new type of television experience that displays mesmeric imagery with narration by A-list stars. Chopra Jonas and Winslet join previously announced narrators Idris Elba, Oscar Isaac, Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz, Mahershala Ali, Lucy Liu, Cillian Murphy and Keanu Reeves.
Each half-hour episode will attempt to take audiences on an immersive visual journey to another world while the soothing imagery and tranquil narration seek to provide audiences of all ages respite from the stress and chaos of everyday life. The series builds on the success of Calm’s Sleep Stories, bedtime stories for grown-ups with over 250 million listens.
A World of Calm is the result of a collaboration between the makers of Calm, the number one app for sleep, meditation and relaxation, and Nutopia, the team behind National Geographic’s critically acclaimed series One Strange Rock.
