Step into the vibrant, offbeat world of Government Cheese, a surrealist family comedy set in the sun-soaked San Fernando Valley of 1969.
When Hampton Chambers (David Oyelowo) is released from prison, he dreams of a joyous reunion with his wife, Astoria (Simone Missick), and their two sons, Einstein (Evan Ellison) and Harrison (Di’Allo Winston).
But life has moved on without him.
In his absence, the Chambers have built an unconventional but loving family unit, one beautifully unfazed by the constraints of reality.
Now, Hampton’s return threatens to upend their delicate balance, sending them spiraling into a whirlwind of chaos, laughter, and heartfelt discovery.
Bursting with surreal humor, big dreams, and even bigger personalities, Government Cheese is a fresh, unpredictable ride through the power of love, resilience, and the beauty of embracing the impossible.
Government Cheese Cast: David Oyelowo, Simone Missick, Bokeem Woodbine, Adam Beach and Sunita Mani Stream Government Cheese April 16, 2025 on Apple TV+!
