The new streaming service Apple TV+ was officially launched a week ago today and already seems to be a success.
After just one week, the decision has already been made – Apple's four flagship series, "The Morning Show," "See," "Dickinson," and "For All Mankind," are to be renewed. According to a report in Variety, Apple has already ordered second seasons for all four series. Although Apple's originals weren't well received by critics, the viewing figures seem to speak a different language. Variety:
"Sources close to Apple claim that the existing service has attracted millions of users, who spend an average of more than an hour on the Apple TV Plus platform. Early numbers suggest that most viewers who watched one episode of the four main series watched at least one or two more."
Three of the four available series have not yet been fully released. They receive a new episode weekly. Season 1 of "Dickinson," however, has already been premiered in its entirety. The Apple TV+ subscription costs approximately €4.99 per month and includes Family Sharing. A 7-day trial is included. Purchasers of a new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple TV receive the subscription free for one year. (Image: Apple TV+)
