Move over Netflix.
Apple announced Apple TV+, the company's new subscription TV service that includes original shows, at its March 25 event.
After discussing Apple News Plus and a game subscription service called Apple Arcade, Apple CEO Tim Cook turned his attention to the next evolution of Apple TV. They shared plenty of new details about the new service, including inviting several actors and creators onstage to share their new original shows.
These shows are exclusive to Apple TV+, an ad free subscription service launching this fall. The service will be available online and offline across all Apple devices, and Apple promised new movies and shows every month, available in 100 plus countries.

Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories
Steven Spielberg was one of the most prominently featured creators during Apple's event--quite understandably. The project he announced is called Amazing Stories, based on the sci-fi pulp magazines he read as a kid. It's a reboot of Spielberg's show of the same name that aired originally between 1985 and 1987 on NBC.
The Morning Show
Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Anniston, and Steve Carrell took the stage to discuss their new show, The Morning Show. They described it as a fictional look at the dynamics between men and woman that take place behind the scenes at a morning news/talk show.
See
Jason Mamoa (Aquaman, Justice League) and Alfre Woodard (Netflix's Luke Cage) announced a new sci-fi series called "See." It appears to be a post-apocalyptic show set in the future, when all humans have been blind for so long that they believe sight as a sense is a myth.
Little America
Up next came comedian Kumail Nanjiani, who described his show Little America as a series portraying human stories featuring immigrants to the United States. It sounds like a non-fiction, documentary-style show.
Helpsters
Big Bird may have stolen the show when the large, yellow puppet appeared onstage with another puppet, Cody, to announced Helpsters. It's a kids' show aimed at pre-schoolers to teach them about coding. This is as confusing to us as it is to you.
Little Voice
Next up were JJ Abrams and singer-songwriter Sarah Bareillis, who described their program Little Voice as the story of a young woman finding her voice as a woman and artist in NYC, based on Bareillis's own experiences.
Hello Oprah
Apple saved Oprah for last. She announced an expansive partnership with the company and described two projects--a documentary called Toxic Labor, and another multi-part series about mental health. She also announced "the most stimulating book club on the planet," though details are currently scarce.
