Apple TV+
Apple TV Plus (stylized as Apple TV+) is an upcoming over-the-top ad-free subscription video on-demand web television service announced by Apple Inc. in 2019 during their March 25 Apple Special Event held at Steve Jobs Theater.[1][2] A number of major celebrities involved with Apple TV+ projects apeared on-stage for the announcement, including Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, and Jennifer Aniston.[3]
Apple TV+ content will be viewable through Apple's TV software, which is slated to become accessible to numerous consumer electronics devices, including Apple's competitors', during 2019.[4] Apple TV+, along with the simultaneously announced Apple TV Channels a la carte premium video subscription aggregation service, is part of the company's concerted effort to expand its service revenues by making recurring monthly charge distributed video content available widely to the public.[5]

During the announcement of Apple TV+, Apple announced the names, directors, and stars that will be featured in the service. As of March 2019, five of the upcoming series had already completed production, with six more already well into filming.[6]
