The popular manga The Drops of God is getting a live-action series adaptation at Apple TV+ and apparently, it’s going to debut in a month! This is the first time I’ve heard this project is even happening and it’s almost finished and ready to be shared with fans!
The story was created by Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto and the manga follows a wine critic and his adopted brother who must compete against each other to determine who will inherit their father's estate--a wine collection featuring 13 heaven blessed wines.
Shizuku Kanzaki “is the son of a recently deceased, world renowned wine critic named Yutaka Kanzaki. In order to take ownership of his father's legacy, an extensive wine collection featuring some of the most rare labels of the last 30 years, he must find 13 wines, known as the ‘Twelve Apostles’ and the heaven sent ‘Drops of God’ that his father described in his will. But despite being an only child, Shizuku is not alone in this unique wine hunt. He has a competitor. Issei Tomine, a renowned young wine critic, was recently adopted into the Kanzaki family and is also vying for this most rare of prizes.”
The official synopsis for the live-action series reads: "The story involves a woman who discovers that her estranged father has left her the world's greatest wine collection in his will. But, to claim her inheritance she must compete against a Japanese man who her father regarded as a son and may have been more."
The Drops of God will consist of eight episodes and the cast is led by Tomohisa Yamashita with French actress Fleur Geffrier.
While the series will be released on Apple TV+ in the states, Hulu will oversee the show's distribution in Japan while Legendary Television does global distribution outside of France and Japan. Legendary Television helped produce this adaptation with help from Dynamic Television, France Televisions, and Hulu Japan.
