Apple TV+ inks first look feature film deal with media mogul Peter Chernin

Apple TV+ has signed a new multi-year, first-look feature film deal with The North Road Company’s Chernin Entertainment, the flagship scripted film label behind titles such as “Hidden Figures,” “Ford v Ferrari,” “The Greatest Showman,” and “Planet of the Apes.”
On the television side, Chernin Entertainment is already a partner of the streaming platform, producing the upcoming historical miniseries “Chief of War,” starring Jason Momoa, about the unification and colonization of Hawaii at the turn of the 18th century, set to premiere Aug. 1. It is also behind the Emmy-nominated “See,” also featuring Momoa, and the NAACP Image Award-winning “Truth Be Told,” with Octavia Spencer and Gabrielle Union.

“We’ve had a great experience working with Apple on the series side, where they’ve been smart, daring, and always supportive — we’re excited to build on that success by making movies together,” said The North Road Company chairman Peter Chernin.
Founded three years ago by Chernin, the global content studio has established itself as a production powerhouse spanning scripted, unscripted and documentary content. Its labels include Chernin Entertainment (film, television and indie), North Road Television, Kinetic Content, Words + Pictures and others.
Momentum around the Apple Original Films slate continues to grow since the debut of Apple TV+ five years ago, with highly anticipated features including “F1,” starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and from director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, premiering in theaters June 27. There’s also “Highest 2 Lowest,” the latest feature reuniting Spike Lee with Denzel Washington for the fifth time, releasing in theaters Aug. 22 and on the streamer September 5.
Apple also made history as the first streaming service to land the Academy Award for Best Picture with “CODA.”
