Apple TV+ shows and movies
Paramount+ carries decades of CBS and Paramount content, Peacock has thousands of NBCUniversal catalog shows and movies, and HBO Max and Disney+ have similarly deep legacy media pockets. Apple TV+ did it the hard way when it launched in 2019: with all-new content.
You won’t find any Marvel movies or classic crime dramas in the Apple TV+ lineup, just original TV shows and movies created specifically for the service from the past couple of years. Early entries like Dickinson, For All Mankind, and Mythic Quest generated some buzz, but it was breakout series like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Servant that made a real streaming splash for Apple TV+.
In all, Apple TV+ has produced just over 100 original series and movies, including dramas, comedies, sci-fi thrillers, music documentaries, and children’s programming. Apple TV+ leans heavily into entertainment, but it’s starting to get into streaming live sports with the launch of its Friday Night Baseball programming.
