Coming to Apple TV+: Several new shows and premiere dates announced

Apple’s list of currently available content for Apple TV+ continues to grow, but there’s an even faster-growing list of projects in the works. Films, limited series, specials, and multi-season series, Apple’s got lots of irons in the fire for all of them.

Some of these projects have been officially announced and acknowledged by Apple, but many have just been reported by the Hollywood press, which always has its ear to the ground about what actors, directors, and producers are getting involved with which projects.

We’ve divided this list in two: Coming Soon is a list of shows for which Apple has given an official release date or release window, and Further Out compiles other announced and not-officially-announced projects that are still in production or perhaps haven’t even begun yet.

Updated 12/16/21: Several new shows and premiere dates have been announced. Dark workplace comedy “Severance” premieres on February 18, kids animated series “El Deafo” premieres on January 7, and documentary film “The Sound of 007” will land in October of 2022.
