An anthology series based on the real stories of immigrants to the United States, Little America is produced by top Hollywood comedy scribes Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, 2017), Alan Yang (Master Of None, 2015 to 2017) and Lee Eisenberg (The Office, 2005 to 2010) - all of whom are the children of immigrants themselves.
