APPLE SPECIAL EVENT

offering to multigenerational audiences a whole
new batch of Amazing Stories. We want to transport
the audience with every episode. Like the World
War II pilot whose plane magically travels through
space and time from the past and into the present
day. Who will he meet? Can he return? Does he
want to? What happens if he doesn’t?
“It’s the universal human trait to search for
meaning. So in these disconnected stories, we think
the audience will find that one compelling narrative
that will make the first season of Amazing Stories
into a single thematic experience for them.”

The Morning Show
Is Apple going to air a morning talk show? Not
quite. The Morning Show is a drama about making
a morning TV news show. It supposedly draws
heavily from the book Top of the Morning: Inside the
Cutthroat World of Morning TV by Brian Stelter.
This new series stars Reese Witherspoon,
Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carell, which alone is
enough star power to ensure a sizable audience.
Witherspoon explained on stage at Apple’s event
that the show “pulls back the curtain on the power
dynamic between men and women in the high‑
stakes world of a morning news show”.

See
A futuristic, post‑apocalyptic drama, See imagines
a world where with no sight. A devastating virus
wipes out all but a few million of the Earth’s
population, and those that survived were stricken
