It has been over a year since we last heard about the upcoming international drama Pachinko, which is set in not only South Korea, but also Japan and the United States. To that end, the series is also told across three languages, and while it has grand ambitions about its scale, it's still meant to be an intimate story.
CODA is one of the best films available to watch on Apple TV+. It has also picked up quite a few award nominations and wins since its debut in 2021. Of course, earning several different Oscar nominations really helps it stand out. And just in case you're someone who is swayed by those types of nominations, and you feel okay going out to a theater, you'll be able to see the film on the big screen, at no cost to you, for a limited time.
Here's a breakdown of the new films and TV series premiering on Apple TV+ throughout February 2022.
The Sky Is Everywhere was first picked up as a film adaptation by Apple TV+ and A24 way back in 2019. Over the course of 2020, we saw the cast fill out. But it wouldn't be until January of 2022 that we finally got a first look at the upcoming film adaptation of the popular young adult novel.
There was a stretch of time there, over the last year or so, where it felt like Apple was signing exclusive multi-year deals with so many different people on a regular basis. That simmered down a bit, especially recently. But the company isn't quite done with that particular plan of attack for securing films, series, and documentaries for Apple TV+.
In May of 2021, it was announced that A24 and Apple TV+ had sealed the deal to bring The Tragedy of Macbeth to the streaming service at some point in the future. It stars Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, and it's finally streaming on Apple TV+. Which means it's about time we get to see a behind the scenes look at how it all came together.
Beanie Babies were quite the craze back in the day, especially in the United States. It's a story that's absolutely ripe for a story, especially as a feature film or series. Luckily for Apple TV+ subscribers, there will be one of the former streaming on the service at some point in the future.
Sidney Poitier is an iconic film actor and director, who was also an ambassador. He lived a full life, but ultimately passed away at the age of 94 on January 6, 2022. So it's not surprising at all that he's getting a documentary about his life and achievements.
Audrey Hepburn is one of the most iconic actresses to ever do it. Her roles in films like Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady are iconic, to say the least. And now the star will get a brand new biopic all about her, which will make its debut on Apple TV+ at some point in the future.
In most cases, a film or TV series gets plenty of build up, with a lot of footage shown that's edited to try to not really give anything away (the effectiveness of this is debatable). Apple has followed this route for the majority of its content. But, with the upcoming drama The Tragedy of Macbeth, that hasn't really been the case. Until now.
It's the start of 2022, and Apple TV+ has a lot of content that's going to launch on the service throughout the next 11 months. However, Apple can't slow down. As a result, we're going to keep hearing about new shows and films and documentaries, especially in an effort to keep up with the competition.
In January of 2021, it was reported that Ridley Scott was bringing his film about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte to Apple TV+. We already know that Joaquin Phoenix (C'mon C'mon) is set to star in the film as Bonaparte, and we learned later that Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) would be joining him. However, there's been a bit of a change as far as casting is concerned.
