Apple is spending a bunch, a whole bunch, on original content that you can watch through....Apple Music. Because that's always
the first spot to look at television.
While there are some programs already on the app (Did you know there's
Planet of the Apps? Celebrity judges Will.i.am, Gwyneth "Goop" Paltrow, Jessica "Who Needs Hollywood!" Alba, and Gary Vaynerchuk judge the works of app developers. Fun.), the future is looking a lot more...interesting for 2019.
Let's look at some (6) shows and creators incoming.
PEANUTS!DHX is producing a new Peanuts cartoon (and short, featuring Astronaught Snoopy)! No word on if they will look similar to the 2015
Peanuts movie, but my bet is gonna be a "no". The content will be exclusive to Apple (but won't all of this be?).
DEFENDING JACOB!When the Cap gets clapped in
Avengers: Endgame next year, don't be sad!* Chris Evans will be back in
Defending Jacob, a limited series about a fourteen year old accused of murder. So clearly, he's not in the titular role.
The show will be directed by Morten Tyldum ("The Imitation Game").
*The OP has no idea if Captain America is going to die.JUSTIN LIN IS HERE!Justin Lin and his production company, Perfect Storm Entertainment, have been swooped up by the big Apple. Lin will produce and direct TV shows with a global perspective, much like the
Fast and The Furious franchise that he revitalized. No word on if Vin Diesel and The Rock will take their battle to the small screen.
WOLFWALKERS!Conceptual trailer from 2017.The bridesmaid but never the bride in the Best Animated Feature category, Cartoon Saloon's (
The Breadwinner,Song of the Sea) Wolfwalkers will finally be seen on the tiny screen.
A young wolfhunter goes to Ireland to hunt some wolves, but ends up making a friend who lives among them. I hope they keep the quality of the animation.
CALLS!Based upon a short-order French TV show, Apple TV has brought the rights to remake
Calls into English.
Listen to audio recordings of tragedies that string together to tell the story of an impending apolcalypse! Ooooh!
M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN!We have no idea what it's about! But it's a thriller!
Shyamalan will direct the first one but apparently,
perhaps mercifully, none of the others (OP note: That's actually from the source, I had to leave it in) The series will be written by Tony Basgallop. Toby "The OP's Favorite White British Man" Kebbell and Lauren Abrose will star in the show, and Rupert Grint! It's Ron Weasley, guys!
So, what are you looking forward to? Do you have an Apple TV subscription? Does
