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.

Começando pelas novidades que chegaram hoje, a maioria delas tem relação com a Siri AI. Agora, por exemplo, o sistema exibe uma tela de boas-vindas para o usuário quando ele usa a nova assistente pela primeira vez.
New in iOS 27 beta 4: There is a new splash screen when using Siri AI for the first time pic.twitter.com/R6kFXk1loF
Falando em Siri AI, a nova beta acrescentou novas opções de vozes na personalização da Siri — que requerem dispositivos com pelo menos 12GB de memória, cabe recordar.
New in iOS 27 beta 4: Apple has added more Siri voices with a note that customizations for them are coming soon pic.twitter.com/5ksQXTERAm
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.
iOS 27 beta 4 removes the depth effect when opening Notification Center, a change that first showed up in beta 3. pic.twitter.com/1at4mqM3KU
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Major League Soccer returns on July 16, with every match streaming live on Apple TV.
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.

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.

Devid Striesow, Axel Stein, Heike Makatsch and Torben Liebrecht in “Where’s Wanda?” season two, premiering October 21, 2026 on 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. Fans applaud the “beautiful” show as the “kind of gem Apple only seems capable of creating” and “a compelling new addition” to Apple TV’s “expanding international offerings.”

Anya Taylor-Joy stars in “Lucky,” premiering July 15, 2026 on Apple TV.
Written by Jonathan Tropper and Cassie Pappas and based on Marissa Stapley’s bestselling novel, “Lucky” centers on a young woman (Anya Taylor-Joy) who left behind the life of crime she was raised in years ago, but must now embrace her darker, criminal side one final time in a desperate attempt to escape her past.
Apple TV’s seven-episode series premieres this Wednesday.
Anya Taylor-Joy finds herself in a familiar setting this summer: In the desert, fighting to stay alive.
She did it in “Furiosa” and the upcoming “Dune: Part Three.” Now she’s under the blazing California sun for “Lucky,” a propulsive Apple TV crime thriller that has her trading blows with goons, bloodying her otherworldly face.
“Listen, I’ve been to the desert so many times at this point it’s kind of unreal. I don’t look like a desert creature, and yet I’m always there and I love it,” says the actor. “People like to see me struggle, and they like me to survive. And, luckily, I enjoy doing it, too, so it works out.”
Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine media company approached Taylor-Joy with the book, asking her to not just consider leading the series as an actor but also offering to make her debut as an executive producer.
“I remember crossing my fingers and thinking, ‘God, I really hope I like this book.’ And then I did and I fell in love with Lucky and I felt that I had something to contribute in this space, which I think if you’re coming on as an executive producer is the feeling that you want to have,” says Taylor-Joy.
MacDailyNews Take: Congrats to Taylor-Joy on her first executive producing gig!

Apple TV has achieved a notable milestone in the fiercely competitive U.S. streaming market, rising to become the fourth-largest subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) platform according to the latest JustWatch Q2 2026 Market Shares report.
The data, based on more than 45 million streaming interactions tracked via the JustWatch app and website across more than 320 SVOD services, measures shifts in user interest and engagement (including searches, clicks, and watchlist additions) over the past three months.
Apple TV gained 1 percentage point in the quarter and an impressive 5 percentage points year-over-year — the strongest annual growth among major platforms. This surge allowed it to overtake Hulu and Max and secure sole possession of fourth place.
Netflix continues to lead, but saw some quarterly softening in prior periods before rebounding slightly. Prime Video remains a strong second despite flatter annual performance. Disney+ holds steady in third.
Subscriber Context and Apple’s Strategy
Apple does not publicly disclose exact subscriber numbers for Apple TV. Industry estimates place global paid subscribers around 45 million as of late 2025/early 2026 vs. Netflix (300M+ paid), Amazon Prime Video (200M+ global users), and Disney+ (131.6 million paid).
However, Apple TV punches above its weight in the U.S. thanks to deep integration with Apple’s hardware ecosystem. Promotional offers (such as three free months with new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV purchases) and bundling through Apple One help drive adoption. The service maintains a premium, ad-free positioning while competitors have widely adopted ad-supported tiers.
High-quality originals continue to fuel momentum. Acclaimed titles like Severance, Shrinking, and others have driven record viewership in recent periods. Looking ahead, Apple’s multi-year exclusive U.S. rights to Formula 1 (starting in 2026) represent a significant expansion into live sports, potentially broadening its appeal.
Broader Streaming Landscape
The U.S. SVOD market remains dynamic. While scale leaders Netflix and Prime Video dominate overall, mid-tier services are closing gaps through content quality, user experience, and bundling. Many households now subscribe to multiple services (often 4–6 on average), increasing competition for attention and wallet share.
Apple TV’s strong engagement growth signals that a focused, high-production-value approach can resonate even without the massive libraries of its larger rivals.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple TV’s momentum is accelerating in a competitive market thanks to its focus on premium content; quality over quantity (even as the quantity continues to grow)!
Note on methodology: JustWatch’s figures reflect engagement and interest on its platform rather than total subscribers, paid viewing hours, or revenue. This can differ from other rankings (e.g., those from Parks Associates or analyst estimates focused on subscriber counts).

Depois de já termos publicado vários vídeos sobre as novidades do iOS 27, chegou a vez de começarmos a cobertura em vídeo do macOS Golden Gate 27 em nosso canal. E não tem jeito melhor de abrir essa série do que falando sobre a mudança mais aguardada do sistema: a Siri AI.
Neste primeiro vídeo, mostramos como funciona o novo app da Siri, os ajustes de voz disponíveis, as melhorias na busca do Spotlight, os recursos da Inteligência Visual a partir de screenshots e as ferramentas de escrita e revisão de texto integradas ao sistema.
Embora costume dar mais foco aos seus próprios sistemas operacionais, a Apple também lança esporadicamente recursos para as versões de seus aplicativos em plataformas concorrentes, como o Android.
O aplicativo Apple TV, por exemplo, está ganhando widgets para a tela inicial do Android — o que permite que usuários acessem ou visualizem informações sem precisar abrir o aplicativo.
Além dessa novidade, o aplicativo também está ganhando suporte ao recurso “Continue Assistindo” (“Continue Watching”) no sistema operacional do Google, juntando-se a outras tantas plataformas de streaming populares do mercado.
A novidade, semelhante ao recurso disponível no aplicativo Apple TV nas plataformas da Maçã, permite continuar assistindo a produções a partir do hub unificado de serviços de streaming do sistema operacional.
Ainda na seara dos updates, o 9to5Google revelou que o Apple Music também está sendo atualizado no sistema concorrente, agora com suporte ao compartilhamento via WhatsApp.
