Last March, Apple announced, rather confirmed, that it was working on a video streaming service, a service dubbed Apple TV +. This service, which initially will feature original productions, has been surrounded by rumors for a little over a year, rumors that little by little have been confirmed.
Two of the most attractive series that Apple TV + will offer us, The Morning Show and Amazing Stories, are in the news once, although for different reasons. The series starring Jennifer Aniston, Resse Witherspoon and Steve Carell has a budget of 300 million dollars for the first two seasons. Regarding Amazing Stories, creative differences again delay the project.
Apple acquired the rights to Steven Spielberg's' 80s series Amazing Stories a little over a year ago. To carry out the project, they hired Brian Fuller, who within a few months left the project due to creative differences. Since then we have not heard from it again. The latest news suggests that for the moment the project remains paralyzed due, once again, to creative differences.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, citing industry sources, Apple continues to insist that the industry has to adapt to Apple and not the other way around. Apple's interference with the type of content in this series in particular is not allowing it to have a prestigious producer that can offer again amazing stories.
300 million for The Morning Show
According to this same medium, the budget that Apple has allocated to the production The Morning Show reaches 300 million for 20 episodes that will be part of the first two seasons. The cost per episode is 15 million, the same that the Jason Momoa series also has See. Of that 15 million, $ 4 million goes directly to Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, with $ 2 million each.
