The First Apple Lineup: A Preview
Here are the projects that have either completed filming or are nearing their wrap dates. They are the likeliest to appear in Apple’s first wave of shows.
Untitled Series With Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston
Apple’s splashiest project is a behind-the-scenes series about a morning TV show. The company committed itself to two full seasons before seeing a script. Along with Ms. Witherspoon and Ms. Aniston, who are also producers, the cast includes Steve Carell, Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass. The series had some backstage drama last year, when its showrunner, Jay Carson, Hillary Clinton’s former press secretary and a supervising producer of “House of Cards,” was replaced by Kerry Ehrin, the co-creator of A&E’s “Bates Motel.” Brian Stelter, the CNN host and author of the 2013 book, “Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV,” serves as a consultant. Shooting for season one is nearly done.
“Amazing Stories,” a Steven Spielberg Reboot
Revival of the NBC series of the same name. After its own showrunner problems — the original producer’s vision was too dark for almost everyone involved, including Mr. Spielberg — Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the duo behind the ABC series “Once Upon a Fairy Tale,” took over. Expected to wrap soon.
“Are You Sleeping?” a Mystery Starring Octavia Spencer
A drama featuring the prolific Academy Award winner in the lead role, “Are You Sleeping?” is based on a crime novel by Kathleen Barber that featured a cold case and a sleuth with a podcast. According to Ms. Spencer’s Instagram account, shooting finished late last year.
“For All Mankind,” a Ronald D. Moore Sci-Fi Series
This space drama from the producer of the cult-favorites “Outlander” and “Battlestar Galactica” is a alternate-history look at what would have happened if the global space race had continued. This one is in the can.
“See,” With the “Aquaman” Star Jason Momoa
A fantasy epic starring the “Aquaman” star (please note, the series is not called “Sea”) that poses the question, What would happen to humanity if everyone lost their sight? Also with Alfre Woodard, who has been in everything from “Scrooged” to “Luke Cage.” Now shooting.
A New Shyamalan Thriller
A thriller from the maker of “The Sixth Sense” and “Glass” starring Rupert Grint, Lauren Ambrose and Nell Tiger Free. The story is a secret. Filming has come to an end.

A Comedy From the “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Duo
Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day, the stars and producers of the long-running FX and FXX sitcom. It’s done.
“Central Park,” a Cartoon Musical
An animated series — with songs! — from the “Bob’s Burgers” creator, Loren Bouchard, the “Frozen” voice actor Josh Gad and the producer Nora Smith. Should be finished in the next few months.
“Home,” From the Documentary Filmmaker Matt Tyrnauer
An unscripted series from the maker of “Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood” and “Studio 54” that will take viewers inside lavish homes owned by non-celebrities. Expected to be finished in a few months.
“Dickinson,” an Emily Dickinson Comedy
A new spin on the reclusive poet of Amherst, Mass., from the playwright Alena Smith, who has written for Showtime’s “The Affair” and displayed her comedy chops with the cult Twitter account @TweenHobo and the 2014 novel “Tween Hobo: Off the Rails.” It stars Hailee Steinfeld, of “True Grit” and “Bumblebee,” as the title character, and the “30 Rock” alumna Jane Krakowski as her mother. Shooting is done.
唔聲唔聲原來咁多已經拍緊/拍完
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is not planning on returning to the world of Killing Eve. The actress, writer, and producer confirmed that she did not foresee writing again on Killing Eve to a scrum of reporters after a Fleabag Season 2 panel at Amazon’s Winter 2019 presentation.
We know that Waller-Bridge’s long-time pal Emerald Fennell took the reins of Killing Eve for Season 2 so Waller-Bridge could focus on the second installment of Fleabag, and when Decider asked Waller-Bridge if she would return to the BBC America show, she said, “No, hopefully we’re going to continue this tradition of handing it on to a different woman every single time. Because that would be a really cool thing to do, to give other voices in the same story a go.”
