Apple reportedly plans to bring original shows to the Apple TV
Could Apple replicate the success of shows like Netflix's original Stranger Things on its own platform?
In addition to smaller-scale shows, Apple is also considering producing feature films further down the line, although the company is at this point not ready to invest hundreds of millions, or even billions, of dollars annually to compete directly with Netflix and Amazon. The content Apple will be producing in the beginning will be comparable to shows like “Stranger Things”, “Westworld”, and “The Man in the High Castle”, the report claims.
This could be a lucrative effort for Apple, as the company already has its own set top-box and proprietary streaming platform in the form of the Apple TV and the Apple TV app. However, despite having the groundwork in place, in order to succeed in this endeavor, the tech giant will also need some killer content to go along. That's the hardest part, really..
