On a yearly basis, the Screen Actors Guild Awards announce their nominations for that year's winners in film and shows. So, we're right on target with this year's nominations. And as we've come to learn over the last couple of years or so, Apple TV+ is a contender.
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.
The Morning Show is a launch title for Apple TV+. It helped bring Apple's video streaming service into the limelight for awards seasons, to be sure, even if things started out a little rough. So a renewal for a second season wasn't all that surprising.
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.
Apple already has quite a bit of family-friendly content to watch on Apple TV+. The company bet big on the Peanuts franchise, for instance. They did the same with Fraggle Rock, too, securing the streaming rights of old episodes while ordering fresh content starring the alien puppets. And now one of those new entries is set to premiere later this month.
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.
Normally, Apple TV+ has a pretty solid routine for promoting new content coming to the streaming platform. The initial announcement, which is followed by a teaser trailer some time later, and, finally, an official trailer that's usually at least a couple of minutes in length. This is all meant to drum up attention for the new series, film, or documentary making its debut on the platform.
Tom Hanks is a household name, but the legendary actor wasn't always so keen on the idea of having his recent films actually stream only in households. However, Hanks has found a place on Apple TV+, with two of the largest film releases on the streaming platform to date.
Back in November of 2019, Apple TV+ gave a full series order to a workplace thriller called Severance. At that time, we learned that the series would be directed by Ben Stiller (Night at the Museum), and that it would star Adam Scott (Big Little Lies). We've been waiting ever since for our first look at what to expect, and now we finally have it.
