Apple’s partnership with Playtone builds on its existing film and series relationship, which has resulted in the limited drama series Masters of the Air, from Apple Studios, Playtone and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television.

The new TV deal encompasses series, documentaries and unscripted projects.

Masters of the Air follows the true, personal story of the American bomber boys in the Second World War who brought the conflict to Hitler’s doorstep. It follows previous Hanks/Spielberg collaborations Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

Future Playtone projects will join the expanding line-up of series debuting globally on Apple TV+, including the recently released Korean-, Japanese- and English-language drama Pachinko and espionage series Slow Horses.
