Apple is attending the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour and has announced several new programs.
Amazing Stories is coming to Apple TV+ on March 6. A reimagining of Steven Spielberg’s 1980s anthology series, this new version is being developed by Universal TV and Amblin Television.
Visible: Out on Television. The five-part television event, which is executive produced by Ryan White, Jessica Hargrave, Wanda Sykes and Wilson Cruz, investigates the importance of TV as an intimate medium that has shaped the American conscience, and how the LGBTQ movement has shaped television, according to Apple’s description.
Home Before Dark debuts on April 3. The new series is inspired by the reporting of young investigative journalist Hilde Lysiak, and follows a young girl who moves from Brooklyn to a small lakeside town. Hilde, portrayed by child actor Brooklynn Prince, will pursue a cold case that everyone, including her father, tried to bury.
Defending Jacob debuts April 24. The show tells the story of a father who is dealing with the aftermath of his teenage son being accused of murder. It is based off a novel of the same name.
Lots more shows to check out can be found here. The worries about the quantity of content for the Apple TV+ service may be overblown. Quality is another matter and largely remains to be seen.
