Apple TV Plus Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Jon Stewart hosted “The Daily Show” for almost two decades. Over that time, he developed a brand of satire that was rooted in comedy first and information second.

We’ve seen Tom Hanks play a character that defies the odds by himself in a deserted area before in “Cast Away.” However, the actor’s next feature, “Finch,” takes the loneliness of “Cast Away” and adds a post-apocalypse for good measure.

Filmmaker Todd Haynes‘ career is arguably one long marriage of art school tendencies and an obsession with formative rock n’ roll from the ’60s and ’70s.

Apple TV+ has made it abundantly clear that it is really only interested in original films and TV series that have superstar talent attached. That would include the newest series, “The Changeling,” which has just received the green light from the streaming service.

How do you adapt a seemingly unadaptable property? The Apple TV+ series “Foundation” finally brings Isaac Asimov’s classic set of stories to life. It’s been a long process for material constantly stuck in the confines of development hell.

Even though COVID cases seem to be on the rise and more mask/vaccine mandates are being implemented around the US, it appears that we’re still going to see some of those 2020 films that got delayed or sent to streaming services finally get released later this year.

Though it’s fair to say Vince Vaughn never really went away, you could argue that his A-list status has diminished over the past decade, as he has become pickier regarding his roles, often appearing in indies like “Brawl in Cell Block 99” and “Dragged Across Concrete” or straight dramas like “True Detective.” But last year, we saw him show up in “Freaky,” a major Blumhouse horror film, as well as the Hulu comedy film, “The Binge.” And for his next project, Vaughn might be leaping back into the

Following a rather slow month for television aside from standouts such as Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso,” it would seem like we’re back in the swing of things with plenty of series debuts and follow-ups returning this month and a lot of big names accompanying them. Nicole Kidman will once again gear up for a splashy television role, this time positioned more as the antagonist figure while Joseph Gordon-Levitt tries to do it all in his series “Mr.

Apple TV+ might not have the most subscribers amongst streaming services. The platform might not have the most awards, either.

If someone plugged all of the mid-tier Sundance, quarter-life crisis dramedies of the last decade about people discovering that they may be the problem of their lives into a machine and asked it to stretch all the contained clichés into a TV series, that computer would spit out “Mr. Corman.” Written, directed, produced by, and starring the multi-talented Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this Apple TV+ series (produced by A24) is the tale of a miserable man, and it wants you to be miserable too.

There’s so much talent in Apple TV+’s musical comedy “Schmigadoon!” that it’s somewhat disappointing to report that the show is merely a modest diversion instead of a must-watch musical extravaganza. You’ll almost certainly laugh a little.

How does a show as big as “Ted Lasso” avoid a sophomore slump? The success of the first season of the Apple TV+ hit felt incredibly tied to the pandemic as the Jason Sudeikis vehicle gave people in need of a pleasant escape the kind of diversion that the real world denied them.

Director Todd Haynes is no stranger to musically-inclined films.

While Apple TV+ hasn’t yet dominated the streaming landscape (the service is still less than two years old, to be fair), the platform has made serious strides in landing top-tier talent and incredibly interesting stories for its TV and film productions.

When we talk about prestige TV dramas on streaming services, we are typically discussing shows that have one A-lister or maybe a well-known filmmaker attached. However, when you talk about “Lisey’s Story,” from the top down, the show is jam-packed with massive talent that makes it a prestige-ier prestige drama than most.

Apple TV+ has put out a bunch of high-profile original movies in the year-and-a-half since its launch. “On the Rocks,” “Greyhound,” and “Cherry” were all made with veteran directors and big-name stars.

Unless you’ve been living under a proverbial rock, you’re probably well aware of the name Billie Eilish. The young singer has become one of the biggest names in the music industry and has a legion of devoted fans around the world.

The relationship between father and daughter, Matthew and Hilde Lisko, is anything but normal. And as seen in the series, “Home Before Dark,” it’s that unique partnership that leads to some exciting stories, as mysteries are always afoot.

Octavia Spencer is at the level where we are going to watch just about anything she appears in. And while the first season of “Truth Be Told” on Apple TV+ didn’t necessarily get the same buzz as other shows debuting on the streamer, Season 2 begins a new story and serves as a pretty good jumping-on point for those wanting to see what Spencer is up to.

The second season of Loren Bouchard’s “Central Park” is back with a vengeance, as well as promises of evil condo owners, high notes, hot dogs, and macaroni. The new trailer gives more or less what you’d expect from the creator of “Bob’s Burgers,” focused on a weirdo family dynamic and the other strange and loveable people in their orbit, with an eclectic voice cast to match.

Rob McElhenney is one of the hardest-working guys in TV right now. Not only is he one of the main stars of the history-making FX sitcom, “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia,” which is about to begin production on episodes for Season 15, but he’s also the co-creator, co-writer, director, and star of the Apple TV+ series, “Mythic Quest.” And on top of that, he took the time out of his busy day in the writers room for ‘Sunny’ to join The Playlist Podcast.

The streaming wars are fully upon us, and as summer goes into full swing, AppleTV+ is starting to flex its wares. Today, the streamer unveiled an exclusive preview of new series and films coming to Apple TV+ now through Fall 2021.

If you’re familiar with the work of actor Dane DeHaan, there’s no denying the man has a talent for being pretty damn creepy. He’s no stranger to bringing to life some truly dark characters over the course of his long career.

Filmmaker Craig Gillespie is probably hoping he has a pretty big summer this year.

Apple TV+ is still in the early part of its life, but the platform has been around long enough to know what series are hits and which aren’t. And considering “Home Before Dark” is about to debut Season 2, it appears the mystery series is pretty damn popular.

The road to parenthood isn’t always a straight line, and Apple TV+‘s “Trying” portrays one of the paths that many parents take — adoption. The show has released a new trailer chronicling all the challenges that lead characters, Nikki and Jason, face on their road to adoption.

Recently, it was announced that Billy Crudup was walking away from a supporting role in the Warner Bros. superhero film, “The Flash.” But it doesn’t appear that the actor is going to be relaxing for too long, as he’s already got his next gig lined up.

While we see streaming services snatch up exclusive rights to talent all over the world, it appears that Apple TV+ is wanting to stay in the Tom Hanks business as much as humanly possible.

Once a staple of every broadcast network, the workplace comedy is slowing becoming an endangered species as streamers and cable take over. As more and more single-camera comedies mean there’s less of a need for single sets, the funny shows that centered on day jobs have slowly lost their dominance.
