Way back in 2018, Apple secured streaming rights for Peanuts content. The characters from the comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz are already available to watch on Apple TV+, including holiday specials. And now there is even more new content on the way.
Ted Lasso is kind of a success story for Apple TV+, with a fledgling video streaming service hosting a legitimate hit. The first season was a resounding winner for Apple, and everyone involved with the creation of the show. And with the second season just about to wrap up (with a lot more people offering up "negative opinions" about the show), it looks like the show has just secured a pretty big deal for one of the world's largest sporting bodies.
Apple TV allows you to type anything like your password into tvOS fields, using your iPhone or iPad. However, iOS 15 has removed the ability to optionally switch off Apple TV keyboard notifications that pop up every time a text field is selected on the media streamer.
Apple secured the latest film from director Matthew Vaughn (The King's Man) earlier this year. This is one of those projects that while still relatively early in production, the cast is basically filled out. But apparently there are still some spots that need to be filled.
It's good that Apple has found something to do with all of that money. Well, aside from making a range of new, wildly successful devices. It certainly helps the company land some of the biggest movie deals in today's ridiculously competitive market.
It doesn't happen every time when Apple gives a series order to a new show destined for Apple TV+, but this time around we have quite a clear picture of what's coming down the pipe. This time around, it's a new show focused on a young woman's journey to find her own voice.
Some partnerships take time before the fruits of the effort come to life. In this case, it's the multi-year partnership between Apple and Skydance Animation. The two companies announced the deal back in February of this year, and it wasn't until April that we saw the first look at an upcoming short film called Blush.
Apple is still a leader when it comes to podcast distribution. And with podcast popularity still at an all-time high, the company wants to make sure it doesn't miss the bus altogether. As a result, companion podcasts meant to promote, and diver even deeper into, Apple Original films and TV shows are a thing. And now there's a new one to look forward to.
Earlier this month, Apple confirmed that its fall lineup slate for Apple TV+ would consist of at least three new family -friendly series, created mostly for kids. We got a trailer for one of the upcoming shows at the time, and now we get a look at the other two.
Today, Apple TV+ has shared the trailers for both Puppy Place and Get Rolling With Otis. The former of the pair is based on a Scholastic best-seller of the same name, which was written by Ellen Miles. The series is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 15, 2021. It's a scripted series, where people try to find "fur-ever" homes for puppies that need them.
Back in January of 2019, word surfaced that Apple had given the go-ahead for a full series order to a "large budget sci-fi series" from the co-producer of the X-Men films, Simon Kinberg. Unfortunately, some production delays hit the show pretty hard, and it wouldn't be until November of 2020 that production would get back into gear. At the time, though, we did get a look at the cast, with Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) set to lead.
Some of the projects coming to Apple TV+ have a quick turnaround time from initial announcement to release date. For example, it was only in May of this year when we first heard about the upcoming sci-fi drama Finch, set to star Tom Hanks (Castaway, Greyhound). By the time August rolled around we even knew when we'd get to watch it via Apple's original streaming service. And now we have the first official trailer.
There have been so many seeds of new entertainment planted for Apple and Apple TV+ over the last year or so, it's good to finally see them bearing fruit. For instance, one of the various bilingual series coming to the video streaming service now has a premiere date. That's after we first heard about it back in December of last year.
