It doesn’t yet have a video streaming service like Hulu or Netflix. Nonetheless, Apple plans to introduce a significant number of original TV programs in the coming years. While it’s not yet known how the iPhone maker plans on distributing these titles (most likely through a new subscription service), details about the shows have finally started to leak in recent months.
How we got here
In June 2017, Apple hired Jamie Erlicht and Zach Van Amburg, formerly of Sony Pictures Television, as the co-leaders of the company’s new worldwide video unit. In November 2017, the company tipped its hand that it was branching out into original scripted programming when it announced it had signed Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon for a new drama.
In the following months, news surfaced that Apple could spend around $4.2 billion on original programming by 2022. The content is expected to begin airing between March and the summer of 2019.

Apple has only released two original TV shows and series to date, “Carpool Karaoke: The Series” and “Planet of the Apps.” While the former has found some success, the latter was canceled after just one season.

Status: Renewed for season 2; the first season included 21 episodes, all available through the TV app and Apple TV.
“Planet of the Apps”
First launched in June 2017, “Planet of the Apps” featured Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, Will.iam, and Gary Vaynerchuk, as judges who listened to pitches from would-be app developers.
