Swagger, the basketball drama series based on the life of NBA superstar Kevin Durant, has been in the works for several years now. It even saw a major change in the lead role at one point. But now the series is actually going to premiere on Apple. TV+, with a set date and everything.
Apple has acquired the popular children puppet series “Yo Gabba Gabba!” and is making new episodes as the iPhone maker continues to build out its library of Apple TV kids' content.
There are some who believe Apple TV+ is just a service that exists to get people to sign up for other Apple products, or get Apple hardware. Basically, a service that simply only exists to get people in the Apple-branded seats. But it turns out Apple has bigger plans than that.
Apple TV+ has a bit of a different timing slate than some other streaming services, and definitely different than traditional TV. But even Apple wants to make sure it has something new for the fall season. In this case, it looks like a trio of kid- and family-friendly shows will help spice things up.
One of the things Apple TV+ needs is a library of content, which will help keep people subscribed to the service when they run out of new Ted Lasso episodes to watch. Which is why, normally, you won't see any of the films or TV series get a physical release. But it looks like On the Rocks, which stars Rashida Jones and Bill Murray, is going that route anyway.
Dickinson may not garner as much attention as, say, Ted Lasso, but the series has proven itself as one of the best for Apple's video streaming service, Apple TV+. But for fans of the show, today may bring a little bit of a good news, bad news situation. The series officially has an end date -- and it's soon.
It feels like it's only a matter of time before all the creatives in Hollywood (and outside of it) find a project to work with for Apple Studios and Apple TV+. Ewan McGregor is actually not new to the experience, having launched Long Way Up late last year. And now he's back, teaming up with Ethan Hawke (Sinister, Boyhood) for a new drama feature film.
The Velvet Underground is considered one of the most revered rock 'n' roll bands to ever do it. And now it's getting the feature documentary treatment, which is coming soon to Apple's original video streaming service, Apple TV+. This one has been a longtime coming, with news first breaking on the documentary back in October of last year.
“Ghosted” is allegedly the official title of an upcoming Apple TV+ romantic action-adventure that will reportedly reunite Marvel stars Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson.
“The Problem with Jon Stewart,” the upcoming Apple TV+ talk show focused on current affairs, will have a companion podcast when it premieres on Apple's video platform next month.
Apple TV+ has shared the first trailer for the Broadway musical “Come From Away,” which starts streaming on the company's video platform on Friday, September 10.
Apple's video streaming service Apple TV+ has earned a lot of nominations for its content ever since it debuted. And while it hasn't picked up nearly as many wins, the amount of awards the shows and creators and actors have won is still admirable. And today the company is confirming it has picked up a couple of new awards to add to the list.
