Everything we know about the Apple TV Plus streaming service, including its shows, free trial, compatible devices and more.
Apple TV Plus is now firmly in the second half of its first year in the streaming service market, and it’s tough to figure out how it’s doing. Despite Apple’s investment in big, expensive programming with massive stars like The Morning Show, the platform doesn’t compare to the likes of Netflix and Hulu right now. Clearly, though, Apple is prepared for the long haul, with loads planned for 2020 and beyond, including its expensive-looking adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation.
The busy flow of Apple TV Plus shows hasn’t ceased in 2020, either, with this year bringing the likes of Chris Evans drama Defending Jacob, and videogame-themed Mythic Quest from the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creators. The future of movies on the platform is exciting, too: Apple is backing a $150 million+ movie from Martin Scorsese starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, according to reports.
At WWDC 2020, Apple confirmed the Apple TV app was coming to Sony and Vizio TVs this summer, too, allowing more people to access its content. Greyhound, starring Tom Hanks, is the latest big release on the service.
If you’ve picked up a new Apple device with a year’s Apple TV Plus membership, or you’re happy to sling another streamer a monthly fee to stay entertained in these days of social distancing, here we’ll break down the Apple TV Plus price, the shows and movies available now, and what’s on the way.
Apple TV Plus shows are releasing at a regular pace throughout 2020. Here’s what’s coming up in the near-future for the service, as well as other projects that have been announced over the last few years. Check out the above trailer for Foundation, too, which Apple recently debuted at WWDC.
Apple TV Plus has plenty shows and movies coming up, a lot of them featuring big-name stars. Take the Scorsese-directed Killers of the Flower Moon, for instance, a ‘large-scale Western’ starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
In terms of upcoming shows that are worth knowing about, here are a few highlights. The Shrink Next Door is based on the 2019 podcast of the same name, and it’ll star Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Foundation is a sci-fi series based on the books by Isaac Asimov, and starring Chernobyl’s Jared Harris and Lee Pace.
