Timberlake adopts a Southern drawl for the new role, and seemingly perfects the art of scowling.
Rather than curating a follow up to his fifth studio album, 2018's Man Of The Woods, Justin Timberlake has returned his focus to acting in the new trailer for Palmer.
Recently duetting with Ant Clemons on R&B singer's track 'Better Days' and playing one of the lead voices in Trolls World Tour, Timberlake has changed his usual game to portraying a janitor trying to adjust to life after prison.
Palmer is a new drama that’s set to debut on the Apple TV+ streaming service early next year, and features Juno Temple, June Squibb, Alisha Wainwright and Ryder Allen.
Timberlake’s character takes on the task of helping care for a child who doesn't conform to any gender while also dealing with the questions and issues that still linger as a result of his difficult past.
