Apple Teams With Steven Spielberg On Video Expansion
-
Apple is teaming up with award-winning director Steven Spielberg for its first major push into TV programming.
The iPhone maker is bringing back Spielberg’s 30-year-old anthology series “Amazing Stories” in its attempt to build an online video subscription service to challenge the digital networks operated by Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and HBO.
“We love being at the forefront of Apple’s investment in scripted programming, and can’t think of a better property than Spielberg’s beloved ‘Amazing Stories’ franchise,” NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke said in a statement Tuesday. NBC Entertainment works with Spielberg’s Amblin Television on the series.
Apple declined to comment on the deal. The Wall Street Journal first reported Apple had secured the “Amazing Stories” rights.
