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+.

Netflix is rolling out support for Spatial Audio

A bit of a back-and-forth earlier this year had some folks interested in listening to Netflix content with Spatial Audio support excited for the future -- and then not so much.
