See, a gritty post-apocalyptic tale about survival and discovery, is one of the most ambitious shows available on Apple TV+. Like many of the streaming service's debut series, though, it had a rocky start. By the end of the first season, though, it had found its footing and become must-watch TV.
News first broke about writer Mark Boal's action-thriller Echo 3 way back in July of 2020. News went dark for a while after that, though. It wasn't until May of this year that we learned who would be starring in the upcoming series. But things are starting to go loud.
There was a long period of time there where Apple was doing just about everything it could to nail down first-look deals. That included producers, directors, and actors. It's been quiet on that front for a bit of time now, but today might buck that trend.
Simon Kinberg and David Weil have been working on an epic sci-fi drama with action elements for a long time now. At the beginning of 2020, we heard the project was eventually coming to Apple TV+. Then, later in the year, we finally got word on who would be starring in the series.
It's been relatively quiet on the premiere front for Apple TV+ through the beginning of 2021. However, that is going to change throughout the rest of the year. And in an effort to get people excited, Apple's released a sizzle reel showing off the busy rest of the year.
Apple TV+ has been the go-to spot (mostly) for Peanuts-related content for some time. That includes new entries in the long-running property. And now there's a documentary coming down the line that takes a look behind the scenes.
There is no denying that, despite relying on algorithms, one of the primary reasons to use Spotify is its personalized experience. The service is very good at finding what listeners like to listen to, both in terms of artists they already follow and new ones. And now Spotify is launching a handful of new personalization tools.
Despite the fact that many of Apple's first series for Apple TV+ have picked up seasons beyond their first, nothing is a given. Even for a fledgling service looking for content. So a renewal is a big deal, especially when it comes to a critically-acclaimed show.
With June getting started, it's Pride month. And, as is par for the course, Apple is using its resources to celebrate throughout the month, with its music streaming service highlighting a range of artists throughout June.
Apple has launched a dedicated Apple Music page highlighting Pride month, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community in various ways. The new dedicated page is launching with Pride month, and Apple will be highlighting different artists and genres throughout June. However, the new section of Apple Music will also be getting updated throughout the rest of the year, too.
With the upcoming June 18 premiere date for one of Apple TV+'s newest comedy series rapidly approaching, the streaming service has provided the official trailer for Physical.
Apple TV+ has been teasing the upcoming dramedy for a while now. We got a first-look of the lead star, Rose Byrne (Instant Family) a while back. And back in April we saw the first teaser trailer. But this latest look offers just over two minutes of footage, giving us a better feel of the comedy, and overall story, coming soon to Apple's streaming service.
Things continue to develop for the upcoming thriller series Echo 3, which is coming to Apple TV+ at some point in the future.
The project, which is being developed by Mark Boal, the writer of the critically-acclaimed film The Hurt Locker, has been in the works for quite some time. We first reported on it back in July of 2020. At the time all we knew was that the series will be based on the Israeli series When Heroes Fly, which is a popular action-thriller in its own right. That series is also based on a novel of the same name written by Amir Gutfreund.
Many fans of Stephen King will know that he loves his tale Lisey's Story. It's one of the most personal stories he's ever written, and now he's adapting it for the small screen.
Ahead of its June 4 premiere on Apple TV+, Stephen King sat down in front of the camera to talk about the story. He talks, albeit briefly as the video is less than three minutes in length, about how the story is important to him as a person and a writer, and how events in his own life helped shape that story. We also get to hear from producer J.J. Abrams (Super 8), director Pablo Larraín (Ema), and Clive Owen (Children of Men).
