Another day, another series order from Apple for its video streaming service, Apple TV+. This time around it's another drama series based on a novel. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, as usual, as we're nowhere near a release date announcement just yet.
“See,” an Apple TV+ science fiction show that takes place in the distant future, will start streaming its second season on August 27. Here’s Apple's look at the upcoming journey.
In May of this year, it was confirmed that Apple TV+ had secured the premiere for the upcoming drama The Drama of Macbeth from director and writer Joel Coen (No Country for Old Men, Hail, Caesar!), based on the original play written by William Shakespeare. At the time, Apple confirmed that it was once again tapping into its partnership with production outfit A24 to bring the film to not only the small screen via Apple TV+, but also some big screens, too.
It has been a long time coming, and a long time in the works, but we're finally about to see the second season of one of Apple TV+'s launch shows. And in an effort to help build up some attention for the upcoming premiere of the sophomore season of the drama, Apple today has shared the first official trailer. And unlike the first teaser trailer, we get a better feel for the stories that will unfold this season.
Ted Lasso can be described in a lot of different ways, like the fact the Apple TV+ series is aggressively optimistic. Which means to say that while there are plenty of jokes thrown around in the writing, nothing about the show is particularly "scathing." Especially not when it comes to real-world celebrities -- or the football clubs they might own. But apparently the comedy crossed the line in a recent episode, and now Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, Free Guy) and Rob McElhenney (Mythic Quest, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are looking for compensation.
US wireless carrier T-Mobile is kicking off new promotion designed to give customers twelve months of the Apple TV+ service free of charge, a $60 value.
Last we heard about the upcoming Apple TV+ series Wool, it would be starring Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible Fallout, Dune), and that it would be based on the dystopian sci-fi novel of the same name written by Hugh Howey. And that was about it! But now we've got some good news to share on that front.
There is a lot of attention put on Apple TV+ these days as far as rewards are concerned. Every time one of the streaming service's entries gets nominated, Apple makes a pretty big deal about it. Especially about the wins. What's kind of crazy is remembering that it was Carpool Karaoke: The Series that landed the streaming service its first Primetime Emmy Award way back in 2018. But, of course, we've got Ted Lasso raking in the awards now, so forgetting that little tidbit isn't too surprising.
Earlier this year, we learned about a new anthology series making the leap over to Apple TV+ at some point in the future. It's called Roar and it's a female-led series from Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, the pair behind the popular Netflix series GLOW. And today we've got news about the cast filling out.
CODA is the newest film for Apple TV+. Apple acquired it straight out of the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where it won a variety of different awards and plenty of critical acclaim. It's one of the more interesting film releases for the streaming platform to date. Which is why it's a little frustrating to see it arrive on the streaming service without much fanfare at all.
“Ted Lasso” is one of the best shows available on Apple TV+, and now you can show your love for the project with the official Ted Lasso sticker pack that you can use in iMessage and Clips.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump) would star in another film heading to Apple TV+ after starring in the World War II drama Greyhound. We learned the film was called Finch, and that Apple had outbid a variety of different companies to secure the streaming rights. Unfortunately, at the time, we didn't know when it would actually start streaming.
