New Streaming Options Almost Here
Both Apple TV Plus and Disney+ are coming in November – and with them will come both an opportunity for more great content, but of course an opportunity to spend more money! FairlawnGig provides you and your family with the opportunity to “cut the cord” on cable or satellite TV or simply receive more and more entertainment options. What can you expect, how much will it cost, and what kind of programming is coming? Here’s an overview:
Apple TV Plus
If you have an Apple product and recently updated the operating system, you may notice an “Apple TV” icon has appeared. Apple TV is due November 1 and while the details are still unclear on whether you will be able to receive complimentary programming with the purchase of hardware, the base price is $4.99/month. You can also sign up for a free seven-day trial at tv.apple.com.
Unlike Netflix, Apple TV will be less of a clearinghouse of content and more of a home to “prestige” programming. New Releases on November 1 will include shows you may already have seen some advertisements and maybe some buzz including:
- Morning Show starring Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carrell.
- See, a dystopian adventure starring Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard.
- Dickinson starring Hailee Steinfeld as Angie Dickinson.
- The executive producers behind Battlestar Galactica and Outlander tell the story of what happened if the Russians reached the moon first and the space race never ended in For All Mankind.
- Numerous other programming options including offerings from Oprah and Steven Spielberg.
