all month with the latest Apple TV+ News. 

Apple TV Ads Animation Original

Every streaming service has attempted to set itself apart with flagship originals. While Apple has yet to establish a ‘must see’ original (Ted Lasso comes close) to build its subscription base, it has done a solid job in filling all the slots in genre originals. One slot they look to fill is animation. Perhaps Strange Planet will be another solid reason for new subscribers to join in. The Nathan W. Pyle webcomic has a devoted following with support from co-creator and producer Dan Harmon as it transitions to live animation. It airs for ten episodes on August 9th with a couple dropping the first week with new episodes weekly.
