Being able to land major first-look deals is, well, a big deal, for companies and individuals alike. Which is why they're usually associated with highly competitive negotiations. And it turns out another one has happened, with Apple TV+ coming out on top.
With the initial free trials of Apple TV+ about to expire, Apple is sending out emails letting customers know they'll have to start paying soon. If they want to keep access to the video streaming service, that is. Which Apple would obviously very much prefer if you did.
There was a long period of time there where Apple was doing just about everything it could to nail down first-look deals. That included producers, directors, and actors. It's been quiet on that front for a bit of time now, but today might buck that trend.

Well, this is a bit different. According to a new report, Apple Original Films has picked up the filmed production of a hit Broadway musical -- and it's coming soon to Apple TV+.
With so much of the content we watch being from digital platforms, it can be sometimes easy to forget that that content might not always be available to us. And not just because we don't have it installed or because we don't have an internet connection. But rights holders and regional rules might block content -- even after we buy it, making it impossible to watch.
It wasn't too long ago that Apple confirmed it would be hosting yet another documentary on Apple TV+. This one's called Fathom, and it's all about humpback whales.
