Apple TV+ is entering the first major awards season of its young life. Sure, last year, the fledgling streaming service was around during the big Oscars push, but the service didn’t necessarily have any features that were arriving that could be in the regular awards conversation. This year, that has changed, in a big way, thanks to the new comedy film, “On the Rocks,” from filmmaker Sofia Coppola.

And in honor of “On the Rocks” being added to the Apple TV+ streaming platform over the weekend, we’re thrilled to give our readers an exclusive look at a behind-the-scenes featurette about the origins of the funny father/daughter story and how Coppola’s film can be relatable to anyone with a grown child…or a father, for that matter.
“On the Rocks” tells the story of a father and daughter that go on a long night in the city while they track the latter’s husband to see if he is actually cheating. Of course, as the night wears on, it becomes clear that the real story is with the relationship between the estranged father and daughter, as they bond with each other.
Not only is the film intriguing for the simple fact that Sofia Coppola is the writer-director, but also because the filmmaker has brought together a great cast for the feature. Bill Murray, who has worked with Coppola on “Lost in Translation,” stars opposite Rashida Jones and Marlon Wayans in the Apple TV+ comedy.
