Top Shows

If you are wondering about what kind of shows Apple TV+ is going to feature, then you are in luck! We are going to present the five most interesting shows available starting today on Apple TV+ and also present the video trailers so that you can check them out.

Dickinson

Dickinson is one of the best shows that Apple TV+ has to offer and it is a comedy about the life of famous American poet Emily Dickinson. The show is guaranteed to get a couple of good laughs from you while exploring the constraints of society, gender, and family from the perspective of a budding writer who doesn’t fit into her own time.

See

See is such an amazing movie that it can compete against all the latest blockbusters that appear in cinemas. The movie is set in an epic post-apocalyptic world where everyone is blind due to a virus. However, a child is born and he can see. The lead cast is comprised of Jason Momoa and Alfred Woodard.

Ghostwriter

Apple knows that people love teenage/children movies thanks to the immense success Netflix’s Stranger Things had and this is why it created Ghostwriter. The show follows four children that are brought together by a mysterious ghost in a bookstore.

The Morning Show

Apple has signed a deal for two seasons of a new talk show called The Morning Show and it has two of the world’s most popular actresses as hosts (Reese Whitherspoon and Jennifer Aniston). The budget for the show is so massive that the two hosts will earn $1.25 million per episode.

For All Mankind

If you like space movies, then For All Mankind is the show for you. This is a drama that takes place in space and it will give viewers a glimpse of what the world would look like if the “global space race” would had never ended.
