    Second season renewals

    Apple has renewed all of its first TV series, including See, For All Mankind, and The Morning Show for second seasons. In addition, Apple has inked a deal with Julia Louis-Dreyfus who will develop new projects for Apple TV+. With a fairly significant line-up of new titles, Apple shows that it means business and that it is ready to invest significant sums in its project. However, Apple TV+ is not the end game. The company has ambitions to turn its Apple TV app into a one-stop for video content by partnering with other provides to have their content show up side-by-side with Apple TV+ content in a unified user interface. Most Apple originals are available to stream in 4K resolution with Dolby Vision and sometimes with Dolby Atmos sound. The Apple TV app is available on Apple devices as well as platforms such as Roku, FireTV and Samsung Smart TVs - and later select Sony and LG TVs.
