David Fincher’s “The Social Network” (which is now getting a sequel, albeit without Fincher and, presumably, Jones), and her character Ann Perkins was an important part of the NBC hit sitcom “Parks and Recreation.” She’s also been known to work on sci-fi projects as of late, appearing in the “Black Mirror” season 7 opener (“Common People”) as Amanda and playing the decoy protagonist Allison Becker in “Silo,” one of the best sci-fi shows on Apple TV+.
As it happens, however, these aren’t Jones’ only recent science-fiction endeavors. In 2024, she starred in another Apple TV+ show — one that could have become a stone cold classic if it wasn’t for the fact that it was canceled after just one season. Said series was “Sunny,” a dark comedy which pairs Jones’ Suzie Sakamoto with a very Apple-coded humanoid domestic robot called Sunny (voiced by Joanna Sotomura). Based on Colin O’Sullivan’s novel “The Dark Manual,” the show was admired by the critics but never got a chance to fully find its legs before it was cut short.
