Chronological Order
0 / 4 watchedOrdered by where each story begins. The three shows overlap in time, so this only changes where you start, not how anything connects.
- 1 The Pacific Starts earliest, with Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
- 2 Band of Brothers Starts with 1942 training; its combat covers June 1944 to 1945.
- 3 Masters of the Air Opens in 1943 with the 100th Bomb Group, so it sits last by starting point. Latest released entry alongside the documentary.
- 4 The Bloody Hundredth Companion documentary, optional in either order.
About Band of Brothers
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks produced three companion miniseries about American forces in World War II: Band of Brothers (HBO, 2001) follows Easy Company in Europe, The Pacific (HBO, 2010) follows Marines in the Pacific, and Masters of the Air (Apple TV+, 2024) follows the 100th Bomb Group.
Each stands alone with its own cast, so they work in any order, but release order is the easiest path.
Good to know
Masters of the Air moved from HBO to Apple TV+ during development and premiered January 26, 2024. No further companion miniseries was announced as of September 17, 2026.
