List of Apple TV original programming
Apple Inc. has produced and distributed its own original content since 2016. Since 2019, it has distributed shows and movies on its Apple TV streaming service.
The first television show produced by Apple was Planet of the Apps, a 2016 reality competition series. Their second, released in late 2017, was Carpool Karaoke: The Series, based on the popular recurring segment from The Late Late Show with James Corden.
In 2017, Apple appointed Jamie Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg to head a new video unit, then announced that it would produce original scripted programming, starting with straight-to-series orders for two television shows: a reboot of the anthology series Amazing Stories, by Steven Spielberg, and The Morning Show, a drama series starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.
That year, reports emerged that Apple planned to spend about $1 billion on original programming through 2018, then that the company planned to spend $4.2 billion on original programming by 2022. In August 2019, it was reported that Apple had already spent over $6 billion on original programming.
On March 25, 2019, Apple announced a new slate of original programming and released a short film, Peanuts in Space: Secrets of Apollo 10. The company also announced a new streaming service, Apple TV+, which launched on November 1, 2019, in over 100 countries through the Apple TV app. The service was renamed Apple TV in October 2025.
