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.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney demand Ted Lasso’s delicious biscuits in compensation following joke about ownership of Wrexham AFC
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.
Hank Azaria is going to play Tim Cook in a series about Uber called ‘Super Pumped’, but not on Apple TV+
The majority of TV-related announcements that get covered here at iDB relate to Apple's effort, Apple TV+. However, sometimes there's an Apple-related announcement that's attached to a different streaming service altogether. Today, for instance, we hear that a legendary actor is going to play Apple's current CEO, Tim Cook, in an upcoming show on Showtime.

Tim Robbins joins Rebecca Ferguson in Apple TV+ sci-fi series ‘Wool’
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.

‘Carpool Karaoke: The Series’ is making the drive over to Apple TV+ as it gets renewed for a fifth season
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.
Betty Gilpin and three others join the Apple TV+ anthology series ‘Roar’
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.
Apple TV+ presents reactions from real-life CODAs on the premiere date of the new film ‘CODA’
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.

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.
John Lithgow joins the cast of Martin Scorsese’s Apple TV+ film ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’
Somehow, there's still room to grow the cast of Martin Scorsese's upcoming film Killers of the Flower Moon, which is coming soon to Apple TV+. It has had a stacked cast right out of the gate, but ever since its initial announcement it has been adding some big names to the roster. That continues today.
