Jennifer Aniston deixa futura série do Apple TV baseada em livro de Jennette McCurdy

23 July 2026 at 20:54

Informações do TMZ dão conta de que a atriz Jennifer Aniston deixou o elenco da vindoura série do Apple TV inspirada em “Estou Feliz Que Minha Mãe Morreu” (“I’m Glad My Mom Died”), aclamado livro de memórias da atriz de “iCarly” Jennette McCurdy.

Segundo as fontes consultadas pelo veículo, a decisão de Aniston foi motivada por conflitos de agenda. Elas também afirmaram que a série segue em produção e que os roteiros dos episódios estão em desenvolvimento ativo.

Anunciada pelo serviço de streaming em julho do ano passado, a série promete trazer, ao longo de dez episódios, um relato comovente e hilário das lutas de McCurdy como ex-atriz mirim, enquanto lida com a sua mãe autoritária e dominadora.

Como comentamos na época, Aniston estava escalada para interpretar justamente a mãe da autora do livro, além de assinar como produtora executiva pela Echo Films. Ela, no entanto, não é a única a se despedir do projeto, já que Jason Reitman (creditado originalmente como diretor) abandonou a série poucos meses após o seu anúncio por conta de divergências criativas com McCurdy, segundo informações do Puck.

Desenvolvida pelo Apple Studios como uma comédia dramática, “I’m Glad My Mom Died” é produzida, escrita e apresentada por McCurdy e Ari Katcher. Sharon Horgan e Stacy Greenberg pela Merman; Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley e Josey McNamara pela LuckyChap; bem como Jerrod Carmichael e Erica Kay integram a equipe de produtores executivos.

Aniston, vale lembrar, estrela o sucesso “The Morning Show” — série do Apple TV que, como ficamos sabendo mais cedo, será encerrada após sua quinta temporada, prevista para 2027.

O Apple TV está disponível no aplicativo Apple TV em mais de 100 países e regiões, seja em iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Macs, dispositivos Android, smart TVs ou online — além de também estar em aparelhos como Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast com Google TV, consoles PlayStation e Xbox. O serviço custa R$29,90 por mês, com um período de teste gratuito de 7 dias. Por tempo limitado, quem comprar e ativar um novo iPhone, iPad, Apple TV ou Mac ganha 3 meses do Apple TV. Ele também faz parte do pacote de assinaturas da empresa, o Apple One.

Apple TV anuncia “The Last Person on Earth”, docussérie com Esther Perel

23 July 2026 at 16:20

O Apple TV anunciou há pouco sua mais nova série documental: “The Last Person on Earth”, feita em parceria com a autora bestseller e renomada terapeuta de casais Esther Perel.

Na produção, veremos Perel e uma equipe de especialistas reunir casais que parecem opostos, antes de embarcarem em uma aventura “em um dos destinos mais românticos e remotos do mundo”.

Opposites are matched and sent on an adventure of a lifetime in search of love.

— Apple TV (@AppleTV) July 23, 2026
Os opostos são colocados juntos e enviados para uma aventura inesquecível em busca do amor.

Esther Perel apresenta um novo experimento social e uma série de encontros onde as pessoas são reunidas com alguém que parece ser a última pessoa com quem elas normalmente namorariam. Será que um encontro inesperado pode levar a um relacionamento que mudará suas vidas?

#TheLastPersonOnEarth — Em breve no Apple TV.

A ideia da docussérie, segundo o serviço de streaming, é levantar a seguinte questão: “Será que a última pessoa na Terra com quem você imaginaria namorar pode acabar sendo justamente aquela sem a qual você não consegue viver?” Um experimento interessante em um mundo onde “há mais pessoas solteiras do que nunca e níveis crescentes de polarização e isolamento social”.

Perel comentou o anúncio:

Ao longo da minha carreira como terapeuta de casais, uma verdade tornou-se inegável: o amor pode ansiar pela proximidade, mas o desejo é alimentado pela alteridade. “The Last Person on Earth” é uma exploração ousada dos relacionamentos que desafia tudo o que presumimos sobre compatibilidade, convidando as pessoas a deixarem de lado a lista de requisitos e a encararem o namoro como uma aventura rumo ao desconhecido. Quando escolhemos sair dos limites restritos daquilo que nos parece familiar ou seguro, histórias de amor apaixonadas podem florescer.

Criada pela Boldprint Studios, “The Last Person on Earth” conta com a produção executiva de Dan Gray, Lou Hutchinson e Phil Harris. Josh Jacobs e Olly Lambert, por sua vez, são diretores.

O Apple TV ainda não divulgou uma data de estreia para “The Last Person on Earth”. Também ainda não se sabe quantos episódios a docussérie terá.

O Apple TV está disponível no aplicativo Apple TV em mais de 100 países e regiões, seja em iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Macs, dispositivos Android, smart TVs ou online — além de também estar em aparelhos como Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast com Google TV, consoles PlayStation e Xbox.

Apple Hardware Price Hikes

25 June 2026 at 18:27

Osmond Chia (Hacker News, 9To5Mac, Engadget):

Apple plans to raise the prices of its products as the cost of the memory chips it uses has surged, the technology giant’s boss has said.

Tim Cook, Apple’s outgoing chief executive, told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that price increases were “unavoidable” as the situation around memory chips had become “unsustainable”.

Nick Heer:

During its holiday quarter, Apple’s profit margin on hardware was 40.7%; in its most recent quarter, that dropped to 38.7% — a remarkable figure for physical products. It is these high margins that led to analysts like Ming-Chi Kuo to claim Apple would keep prices more-or-less stable and offset the additional costs through its even higher-margin — 76.7% — services business.

Adam Engst:

Winkler suggests in his summary that Apple has absorbed the cost increases so far because it has always treated memory and storage upgrades as profit centers. That’s no surprise to the Apple community, which has long chafed at Apple’s premium prices for memory and storage. But now, for instance, the price of standalone internal flash storage is closer to and sometimes even higher than Apple’s upgrade prices.

[…]

Obviously, Apple could absorb such costs and more if it were to accept dramatically lower gross margins. But as high-minded and customer-focused as Apple is, the company is still in business to maximize profit.

I was recently looking to add another SSD and a few hard drives to my setup. Normally, prices go down over time, but currently it SSDs are about double the price I paid last year, and large hard drives are almost triple.

John Gruber (Hacker News):

Apple, to my recollection, has never before issued a warning about price increases. Keep in mind that Apple deals with prices in a very different way from its competitors. For Apple, prices are part of a product’s brand, so they don’t fluctuate with component costs.

Chance Miller (Hacker News, MacRumors, Mac Power Users):

Apple has raised prices across the board for many of its products today. MacBook Neo now starts at $699 (up from $599), while MacBook Air now starts at $1299 (up from $1099). Other impacted products include MacBook Pro, iPad, iPad Air, and many more. iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods pricing is unchanged.

Ben Lovejoy:

Earlier this week, I outlined three reasons for agreeing with Mark Gurman that the Apple price increases could be imminent, and that indeed proved to be the case.

iPhones have escaped the increases, but they are otherwise both broad-reaching and pretty dramatic. But perhaps the most surprising thing is that the MacBook Neo has been included …

Tim Hardwick:

Apple today increased the starting price of the Mac mini with M4 Pro chip by $200, taking the higher-tier model up to $1,599 on its online store.

[…]

Apple had already raised the Mac mini’s effective starting price in May by discontinuing the $599 configuration with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, leaving the $799 model with a 512GB SSD as the new entry-level option. Interestingly, the 16GB RAM / 256GB storage option has now been reinstated, but the $799 starting price remains.

Stephen Hackett has a table of the old and new prices.

Nick Heer:

Pre-announce it with a small delay, thus giving you a temporary sales boost as people scramble to get their orders in at current prices, and to soften the blow when the increases hit.

Matt Birchler:

I also can’t help but see that “we need to begin raising prices on a number of products, including today’s increases for iPad and Mac,” statement as implying more increases are coming. The iPhone price increase seems inevitable, and my money is on it starting with the new models in September.

Simon Sharwood:

Micron CEO, president and chairman Sanjay Mehrotra explained the SCAs in prepared remarks delivered during the company’s Q3 earnings call. He explained that Micron has signed 16 SCAs, most of them covering 2026 to 2030, and that they involve a commitment to buy a certain quantity of product and pay for it in a pricing band that has a floor and a ceiling price. The floor price covers the historically high gross margins mentioned above, and the ceiling price means those who commit to an SCA are insulated if memory prices go even higher.

Previously:

Update (2026-06-26): Hartley Charlton:

Micron’s chief business officer has hinted, without calling it out by name, that Apple’s tough supplier negotiations contributed to the conditions behind the global memory shortage.

M.G. Siegler:

For years, Apple has been able to dominate and dictate to their suppliers thanks to their scale. But the Asian operations which Tim Cook so famously set up, have been upended, like most everything else, by AI. From TSMC on down, Apple is no longer the customer dictating terms for the entire industry, it’s now the company which has taken over the mantle as the most valuable one in the world: NVIDIA.

Joe Rossignol:

Apple’s stock price dropped 6% on the day — its largest single-day loss since April 2025.

John Gruber:

Here’s a table with most of the base models whose prices increased[…]

[…]

iPad prices mostly went up 20–25%, but the hardest hit was the no-adjective base model, which rose almost 30%, from $350 to $450. That’s a big increase for a product meant to appeal to buyers for whom price is obviously their biggest concern.

John Gruber:

Anyone who purchased a MacBook Neo for $600 (or $500 with education discount) between March and this morning purchased the lowest-price MacBook Apple has ever sold — and perhaps the lowest-price MacBook they ever will sell.

Joe Rossignol:

Apple’s full statement:

The consumer electronics industry is facing an unprecedented challenge. The rapid expansion of AI data centers has created an extraordinary surge in demand for memory and storage. We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly. We have shielded our customers from these increases so far, but we have now reached a point where we need to begin raising prices on a number of products, including today’s increases for iPad and Mac. We know this is not welcome news, and we are working tirelessly to find solutions.

[…]

Apple indicating that it needs to “begin” raising prices suggests that additional price increases might occur later.

Jason Martin:

“and we are working tirelessly to find solutions.”

I find this to be the most confusing part. Do we believe this to be a genuine effort? Even if so, how would a “solution” actually work? Would they actually lower prices if a solution were to be found?

They also just said they “will continue working” on bringing Siri AI to the EU right before saying in a different venue that they’d stopped working on it.

Jeff Johnson:

In a statement about the price increases, Apple said, “We can no longer shield customers from our 39% gross margin.”

Christina Warren:

Like, truly laughable. $200 for a 64GB Apple TV 4K that is almost 4 years old?

John Gruber (Mastodon):

But even setting aside the prices of competing devices, it just feels wrong to hike prices this much for four-year-old hardware running five-year-old pre-AI silicon. The higher-end model’s price went up 67 percent!

The only way this makes sense is if these prices are really meant for the upcoming new hardware, and those new models are more ambitious home hubs that warrant $200–250 prices.

Previously:

Update (2026-06-29): Zac Hall:

The Financial Times reports that Apple is seeking clearance from the Trump administration to purchase memory chips from a blacklisted Chinese company. The move would help it meet demand for product manufacturing during the ongoing global memory supply shortage.

Perhaps this is the “working tirelessly” that Apple was referring to.

Ben Lovejoy:

Apple previously sought permission from the Biden administration to do the same thing back in 2022, and that did not go well – despite promising to use the chips only for iPhones sold in China …

John Gruber:

Something happens — outside the company’s control — that causes those essential components to rise in price significantly.

[…]

What you cannot do is hold a philosophically consistent logically coherent view where your answer to how a company should respond in such a scenario is contingent on what the “something happens” is that caused component prices to rise.

Maybe—but that’s only relevant if you accept the premise that it was out of Apple’s control. I don’t know the details of the deals, but there’s an argument that the rising costs to Apple are to some extent Apple’s “fault.” If Tim Cook gets credit for helping suppliers expand capacity and locking in contracts for memory at low prices over the past two decades, doesn’t the same logic apply in reverse? The AI-driven shortages were foreseeable—and publicly discussed years ago. If you believe Micron that Apple chose to prioritize its own past numbers rather than securing its future supply, doesn’t that make today’s situation different from, say, a tsunami that unexpectedly wiped out a bunch of factories? I don’t know exactly how the increased costs should be apportioned, but I think the reasons for the costs are relevant, and I don’t think they’re fully exogenous.

sid:

If Apple has the balls to raise the prices of their products, they should also have the balls to increase trade-in values for older devices.

Update (2026-06-30): Kif Leswing:

But while tech giants like Apple and Microsoft, which both announced price hikes this week, have a hefty cash cushion, supply chain leverage and customers numbering in the millions or billions, a much wider swath of businesses face potentially dire straits. Most consumer electronics companies have little margin to spare and can’t confidently raise prices in an economy already grappling with inflationary pressures.

GoPro, the struggling maker of action cameras, warned this month that it might go out of business after memory costs shot up between 80% and 115% at the end of the first quarter. And shares of speaker maker Sonos are down 23% this year as memory prices pressure margins.

Update (2026-07-06): Basic Apple Guy:

Below you’ll find a bunch of charts chronicling the current state of RAMmaggedon, the global memory-chip crisis we currently find ourselves in.

Update (2026-07-22): Tim Hardwick:

Apple’s principal chipmaker TSMC plans to raise prices by as much as 10 percent starting in 2027, according to a new report from Nikkei Asia.

Benicio del Toro se junta a Ben Stiller em “Protective Custody”, do Apple TV

22 July 2026 at 19:29

O Apple TV anunciou hoje que o ator Benicio del Toro fará sua estreia em um papel de destaque na série de comédia “Protective Custody”, futura produção estrelada e produzida por Ben Stiller que foi anunciada em maio deste ano.

A produção girará em torno de um financista desacreditado acusado de fraude em larga escala e colocado sob custódia. Na cadeia, ele se verá obrigado a lidar com a política da prisão, recuperar sua reputação e enfrentar as consequências de seus atos enquanto aguarda o julgamento.

Benicio Del Toro is set to make his leading comedy series debut on Apple TV.

Jason Sudeikis quer que “Ted Lasso” tenha pelo menos mais 2 temporadas

22 July 2026 at 19:14

A quarta temporada de “Ted Lasso” estreará no Apple TV no dia 5 de agosto e, embora a Maçã ainda não tenha encomendado uma quinta temporada, o astro Jason Sudeikis afirma que o objetivo é reunir novamente a equipe de roteiristas, no final de agosto, para trabalhar em ideias para uma possível continuação.

Em entrevista ao The Hollywood Reporter, ele disse ter em mente um arco de mais três temporadas (já contando com a quarta) e que existem, especificamente, ideias para a quarta temporada que não foram utilizadas.

Se tudo correr conforme o planejado, a equipe de [Ted] Lasso retornará à sala de roteiristas no final de agosto para estruturar uma quinta temporada — que ainda não foi oficialmente encomendada. Eles ainda têm ideias não utilizadas do retiro em Ojai, e o aplicativo de notas de Sudeikis continua sendo uma fonte inesgotável de material. Mais uma vez, Sudeikis tem em mente um arco de três temporadas e espera que o público continue acompanhando. “Eu sei que precisava disso. Eu precisava tanto quanto as outras pessoas”, diz ele.

Falando sobre a quarta temporada, Sudeikis insiste que falava sério quando disse que a série terminaria após três temporadas. Ele afirma que sua intenção era genuína, mesmo tendo recebido uma oferta de mais de US$1 milhão por episódio para continuar.

A história foi contada. Ted voltou para casa [em Kansas City] para ficar com o filho. Eu não ia fazer o Ted virar a vida deles de cabeça para baixo só para justificar uma fortuna. Isso não fazia sentido para mim.

Ainda assim, os espectadores continuavam dizendo a ele que a série os havia salvado, e ele respondia prontamente: “Ela me salvou também.”

É contagiante interpretar um personagem que vê o melhor nas pessoas e não guarda rancor do mundo por todas as suas fraquezas, valentões e sombras. Não é como se eu fosse o Daniel Day-Lewis, mas foi bom viver isso — sentir essa energia percorrendo minha mente e meu corpo o dia todo.

Sudeikis e sua equipe acreditam que a quarta temporada está muito boa. Inclusive, o roteirista Brett Goldstein, que também interpretou o jogador de futebol Roy Kent, disse que “ela resgata um pouco daquela magia da primeira temporada”.

A entrevista completa traz outras informações, incluindo detalhes dos bastidores de todas as temporadas lançadas até agora e os desafios enfrentados na pré-produção.

Ademais, caso não tenha acompanhado, Sudeikis e Brendan Hunt (intérprete do Coach Beard) fizeram uma aparição surpresa durante a performance de Justin Bieber na partida final da Copa do Mundo 2026.

22 July 2026 at 18:41

O Apple TV adquiriu antecipadamente os direitos de produção de “Peculiar Stars”, o vindouro (e bastante disputado) romance de Rebecca Yarros, autora conhecida pela série de livros “Empyrean”.

A aquisição foi confirmada pelo serviço no X. A série será produzida pelo Apple Studios e contará com Yarros como produtora executiva, por meio da sua empresa Full Measures Productions.

O Apple Studios desenvolverá “Peculiar Stars”, e Yarros será produtora executiva por meio da sua produtora, a Full Measures Productions.

“Peculiar Stars” será publicado em novembro e acompanhará uma jovem que fica presa em uma ilha deserta com um membro da família do seu noivo — o que transformará sua visão sobre o amor.

Quando eles são finalmente resgatados e retornam aos seus mundos repletos de privilégios, expectativas e segredos, esse retorno se mostra muito mais perigoso do que a ilha onde estavam.

De acordo com o Deadline, a Apple ainda está à procura de um roteirista para escrever a adaptação. No livro, a história terá um ritmo lento, se desenrolando por 543 dias na ilha supracitada.

Apple TV: spinoff de “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” ganha mais três atores

21 July 2026 at 22:19

De acordo com informações do Deadline, o Apple TV escalou os atores Corey Stoll (“Homem-Formiga”), Ralph Ineson (“Quarteto Fantástico: Primeiros Passos”) e Nyasha Hatendi (“O Canto do Cisne”) para o spinoff de “Monarch — Legado de Monstros” (“Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”), projeto anunciado no ano passado.

Os três juntam-se a Millie Brady, Pilou Asbæk e Wyatt Russell. Este último, vale recordar, estrelará a produção como o jovem Lee Shaw, personagem que é interpretado por seu pai (Kurt Russell) na série original.

Na trama, Shaw é retratado como um agente americano que embarca em uma missão secreta (em 1984) para impedir que soviéticos liberem um Titã “horrível, grande o suficiente para destruir os Estados Unidos” e mudar os rumos da Guerra Fria.

Os personagens que serão interpretados pelos três novos atores ainda não foram divulgados pelo Apple TV — por enquanto, o que sabemos é que eles serão papéis regulares na futura produção.

Joby Harold será showrunner e também produtor executivo ao lado de Russell, Tory Tunnel, Chris Black, Kyle Bradstreet, Alex Boden, Max Borenstein, Andy Goddard, Hiro Matsuoka e Takemasa Arita.

O Apple TV está disponível no aplicativo Apple TV em mais de 100 países e regiões, seja em iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Macs, dispositivos Android, smart TVs ou online — além de também estar em aparelhos como Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast com Google TV, consoles PlayStation e Xbox.

Já na seção da Siri do aplicativo Ajustes, há uma nova opção para ajustar o tamanho das prévias das informações da assistente, com a possibilidade de escolher entre nenhuma e até até cinco linhas. No menu de Acessibilidade, há uma nova opção “Sempre Mostrar Solicitação” que exibe na tela uma transcrição do que você diz à Siri.

Além disso, a Apple removeu o recurso que causava um efeito de profundidade ao abrir a central de notificações. Ao deslizar, era possível ver um recorte do elemento principal do papel de parede da Tela de Início, mas isso não está mais disponível.

Ainda em termos de correção, os ícones de atalhos na Tela Bloqueada mantém a aparência tanto no modo escuro quanto no modo claro.

Outras novidades incluem:

  • Na seção de ajustes do app Apple TV, há uma nova opção “Downloads Automáticos”. Ao ativá-la, os dois próximos episódios das séries que você começar a assistir na seção “Continuar Assistindo” serão baixados automaticamente.
  • Uma nova opção “Ampliar fotos para preencher”, na seção de ajustes do aplicativo Fotos (Photos), amplia levemente as fotos que têm proporção próxima à da tela e vem ativada por padrão.
  • Na seção Câmera (Camera) do aplicativo Ajustes, há uma opção para escolher um formato ProRes Log se você ativar o Apple ProRes.
  • Existe uma opção para ativar ou desativar o recurso Assistência ao Wi-Fi para cada rede Wi-Fi conectada, independentemente de a função geral estar ativada ou não.
  • A Central de Controle agora suporta o novo controle deslizante para o Modo Adaptável (Adaptive Mode) dos AirPods Pro.

iOS 27 (terceira beta)

Ainda durante o ciclo da terceira beta, outro destaque vai para a possibilidade de a Siri AI obter informações de aplicativos de terceiros — algo que, por ora, parece se restringir a informar o nível de bateria de veículos elétricos.

O app Traduzir (Translate), por sua vez, também suportará os idiomas/dialetos português (Portugal), dinamarquês, malaio, norueguês bokmål, sueco, cantonês (chinês tradicional) e espanhol (México e Estados Unidos).

Além disso, uma nova (e bem bonita) animação ao estilo Liquid Glass para o ícone de bateria fraca aparece quando o iPhone está prestes a “morrer”.

Apple really cooked with iOS 27 Beta 3🔥
That new liquid-glass, low-battery animation is absolutely sick. The glow and texture on the graphic are pure eye candy—almost makes you want your phone to die just to look at it. pic.twitter.com/gmFwRMhSbd

Por fim, de acordo com o Cult of Mac, especificamente na terceira beta do watchOS 27, a Apple passou a permitir usar a Siri para configurar um tempo adicional para um timer já em andamento — algo impossível até então nos relógios da Maçã.


Alguém por aí já testando essas novidades?

“Being Heumann”: filme ganha primeiras imagens e data de estreia no Apple TV

20 July 2026 at 19:10

O Entertainment Weekly divulgou as primeiras imagens de “Being Heumann”, filme do Apple TV baseado no livro bestseller de memórias da autora Judy Heumann, o qual abrirá o Festival Internacional de Cinema de Toronto de 2026.

A produção centra-se em Heumann — que, após contrair poliomielite na infância, usou cadeira de rodas pelo resto da vida para se locomover — enquanto ela liderou a tomada do San Francisco Federal Building, dando início a um protesto de 28 dias. Os manifestantes recusaram sair até que o governo aplicasse a Seção 504 da Lei de Reabilitação, a qual exige que todos os espaços federais se tornem acessíveis.

As primeiras imagens divulgadas pela EW mostram Ruth Madeley no papel de Heumann, bem como outros nomes do elenco, como Mark Ruffalo, Jon Beavers, Rob Delaney e Ray Fisher.

O longa é dirigido por Sian Heder — também diretora do filme vencedor do Oscar, “No Ritmo do Coração” (“CODA”). Ele estreará em cinemas selecionados no dia 6 de novembro (uma sexta-feira) e estará disponível no Apple TV uma semana depois, em 13/11.

O Apple TV está disponível no aplicativo Apple TV em mais de 100 países e regiões, seja em iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Macs, dispositivos Android, smart TVs ou online — além de também estar em aparelhos como Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast com Google TV, consoles PlayStation e Xbox. O serviço custa R$29,90 por mês, com um período de teste gratuito de 7 dias. Por tempo limitado, quem comprar e ativar um novo iPhone, iPad, Apple TV ou Mac ganha 3 meses do Apple TV. Ele também faz parte do pacote de assinaturas da empresa, o Apple One.

20 July 2026 at 18:42

Anunciada no último dia 6/7 pelo Apple TV, a série “Guilty Creatures” — que terá Julia Garner como protagonista — teve mais um nome anunciado para o seu elenco: o ator americano Lewis Pullman.

O próprio perfil oficial do serviço de streaming anunciou o novo integrante da série, que é uma adaptação do livro “Guilty Creatures: Sex, God, and Murder in Tallahassee, Florida”, de Mikita Brottman.

A história acompanha um romance sucedido por um assassinato envolvendo “dois amantes jovens, adultos, mas tementes a Deus” e uma investigação que tentará desvendar o custo emocional de se viver como assassinos por 18 anos.

Essa fascinante narrativa de crimes reais, ambientada em um pano de fundo de sexo e assassinato no Panhandle da Flórida, promete se tornar um clássico instantâneo.

De acordo com a Apple, “Guilty Creatures” será produzida pelo Tomorrow Studios (parceira do ITV Studios) como fruto de um acordo com a Alma Margo e a Fortunate Jack Productions.

Enquanto Craig Gillespie será o diretor, Stuart Zicherman será showrunner e também atuará como produtor executivo ao lado de Garner, Brottman, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Alissa Bachner e Annie Marter.

Anya Taylor-Joy’s crime thriller ‘Lucky’ rockets to No. 1 on Apple TV in record time

17 July 2026 at 16:30
“Lucky” premieres Wednesday, July 15 on Apple TV.
“Lucky” premieres Wednesday, July 15 on Apple TV.

Just one day after its global premiere on July 15, 2026, Anya Taylor-Joy’s high-stakes limited series “Lucky” has stormed to the top of Apple TV’s streaming charts in the United States, dethroning established hits like “Silo” and claiming the platform’s overall top spot.

The seven-episode crime thriller, which dropped its first two episodes on premiere day with weekly releases to follow, has generated massive buzz thanks to Taylor-Joy’s magnetic lead performance and a stacked ensemble cast. Early viewership data from FlixPatrol confirms the explosive debut, signaling strong audience appetite for glossy, twist-filled thrillers this summer.

A High-Octane Return to the Small Screen

In Lucky, Taylor-Joy stars as Luciana “Lucky” Armstrong, a reformed con artist whose carefully rebuilt life unravels after a multimillion-dollar heist goes disastrously wrong. Forced back into the criminal underworld she escaped years earlier, she finds herself pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless mob boss (played with icy menace by Annette Bening). The series blends pulse-pounding chases, family betrayals, and moral dilemmas, all set against glamorous backdrops like Las Vegas penthouses and sun-baked desert highways.

Taylor-Joy, who also executive produces through her Ladykiller banner alongside Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, delivers a layered, physically demanding turn that echoes the breakout intensity of “The Queen’s Gambit” while showcasing the action prowess she honed in films like Furiosa. Supporting players Timothy Olyphant (as Lucky’s complicated father), Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (as a determined FBI agent), Drew Starkey, Clifton Collins Jr., and William Fichtner round out a cast that critics are already praising for elevating the material.

Created by Jonathan Tropper and co-showrun with Cassie Pappas, “Lucky” adapts Marissa Stapley’s bestselling 2021 novel (a Reese’s Book Club pick). The production shot in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, wrapping principal photography in 2025 before arriving with sleek marketing and an adrenalized trailer that teased its mix of glamour, deception, and survival.

Why the Instant Success?

Apple TV has seen sustained hits from Taylor-Joy before — her 2025 sci-fi thriller “The Gorge” lingered on charts for hundreds of days — but “Lucky” marks her triumphant return to limited series television. The timing couldn’t be better: summer viewing habits favor bingeable, escapist fare, and the show’s weekly episode drops build anticipation without overwhelming audiences.

Early reviews highlight Taylor-Joy’s star power and the series’ slick production values, even as some note familiar genre tropes. Its rapid climb to #1 underscores Apple’s strategy of leveraging A-list talent and book adaptations to drive subscriptions.

With new episodes dropping every Wednesday through August 19th, Lucky is poised to maintain momentum. Whether it sustains its chart dominance like Apple’s other long-runners remains to be seen, but its opening salvo has already proven one thing: audiences are feeling very lucky indeed.

MacDailyNews Note: Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app in over 100 countries and regions, on over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, popular smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO, TCL and others, Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices, Chromecast with Google TV, PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles, and at tv.apple.com, for $12.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers.

Major League Soccer resumes its regular season in July after a summer of international soccer.

Major League Soccer (MLS) returns to Apple TV tomorrow, July 16, as regular-season play resumes and the league welcomes fans back following a monthlong break for the FIFA World Cup.

Apple TV subscribers in more than 100 countries and regions can watch every MLS match with no blackouts. Subscribers also receive comprehensive coverage and analysis, exclusive content, and access to matches beyond the regular season, including the annual Leagues Cup tournament, Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup, MLS All-Star Game, and Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.

All 30 clubs return to action following the World Cup Final, with six marquee matchups scheduled across July 16 and 17. Highlights include the Cascadia Cup rivalry between the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers, a Southern showdown between Nashville SC and Atlanta United FC, and the latest edition of El Tráfico featuring the LA Galaxy and Los Angeles Football Club.

A record 45 MLS players, representing 22 clubs and 17 countries, participated in the 2026 World Cup, with many expected to return to their clubs this week as the league resumes regular-season play. Among them are eight players who represented the United States, including Vancouver Whitecaps FC midfielder Sebastian Berhalter, who helped the U.S. achieve its best group-stage finish at the World Cup. The group also includes Columbus Crew defender Steven Moreira, who started every match for Cape Verde as the Blue Sharks made an unforgettable run to the round of 32 in the nation’s first-ever World Cup, and nine Canadian internationals, led by Orlando City SC goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau, who played every minute of Canada’s historic tournament as the nation earned its first World Cup victory and advanced to the knockout stage for the first time.

Other MLS players also made history at the World Cup, led by soccer icon and Inter Miami CF captain Lionel Messi, who further cemented his legacy by becoming the tournament’s all-time leading scorer. Messi has scored eight goals while captaining Argentina in its pursuit of a second consecutive World Cup title.

New international stars add even more excitement to the MLS restart this summer. Antoine Griezmann, the decorated French international and 2018 World Cup champion, has joined Orlando City SC after spending 10 seasons with Spanish giant Atlético Madrid, where he became the club’s all-time leading scorer. Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn, who started all three of his nation’s World Cup matches, has joined the San Jose Earthquakes, while Polish striker and global soccer icon Robert Lewandowski signed with the Chicago Fire during the summer transfer window.

On July 16, Lewandowski will face longtime FC Bayern Munich teammate Thomas Müller, now with the Vancouver Whitecaps, when Chicago hosts Vancouver at Soldier Field. The matchup reunites one of soccer’s most prolific attacking duos, adding another marquee storyline to the MLS season. EA SPORTS FC Mobile players can watch the match live through a simulcast of Apple TV’s broadcast on FCM TV, the game’s in-app streaming platform. Eligible EA SPORTS FC 26 and EA SPORTS FC Mobile players can also get in-game access to a one-month free trial of Apple TV.

Apple TV on Wednesday revealed first look images and the season two premiere date for celebrated German-language dark comedy series “Where’s Wanda?” Produced by UFA Fiction, the eight-episode season stars International Emmy Award nominee Heike Makatsch (“Love Actually”), German Comedy Award winner Axel Stein (“The Vault”), multiple award-winning actress Lea Drinda (“The Gryphon”), Leo Simon, and Nikeata Thompson (“Späti”). Season two will make its global debut on Apple TV with one episode on Wednesday, October 21, followed by a new episode weekly through Wednesday, December 9, 2026.

In season two, the Klatts (Makatsch and Stein) are back! Just as they thought their lives were finally returning to normal, their daughter, Wanda (Drinda), is caught seemingly red-handed standing over a dead body. They will need to do everything in their power to prove her innocence and avoid losing her again, as their investigation to find the real murderer takes them into the criminal underbelly of their sleepy suburban town. But will their quest to protect their family get them all out of trouble, or ultimately lead them further astray? And can they find out the truth of what happened on that fateful day before it’s too late?

Hailing from UFA Fiction, a Fremantle company, “Where’s Wanda?” season two is created, written and executive produced by Royal Television Society nominee Oliver Lansley (“Flack”), alongside multiple award-winning executive producer Nataly Kudiabor (“Arthur’s Law”) and Oliver Ossege (“Helgoland 513”). The series was co-created and based on a story by Zoltan Spirandelli (“Vaya con Dios”) and is directed by critically acclaimed, award-winning filmmakers Tobi Baumann (“Faking Hitler”) and Christian Ditter (“How To Be Single”).

Following its global debut, “Where’s Wanda?” has been hailed as an “electrifying,” “standout” series keeping “viewers on the edge of their seats” with “a unique blend of dark comedy and suspense,” and featuring “immensely likable, and often affecting performances” by its “talented cast.” Season one achieved a rare perfect 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes.
