Apple
AAPL
is expanding Apple TV+’s documentary content portfolio. The iPhone-maker is set to release
The Year Earth Changed
, an original documentary special narrated by David Attenborough, on Apr 16, along with second seasons of
Tiny World
and
Earth At Night In Color
.
The special documentary,
The Year Earth Changed
, will showcase the positive effects of coronavirus-led lockdowns on nature and planet Earth.
Meanwhile, the docuseries
Tiny World
’s second season will showcase the planet’s smallest creatures through 3,160 hours of footage. Moreover, the
Earth At Night In Color
will present animal behavior at night time.
Both
Tiny World
and
Earth At Night In Color
will be featured in a special Earth Day room on Apple TV+ that will also include
The Elephant Queen
and
Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth
.
The Earth Day-focused portfolio of documentaries reflects Apple’s strategy on streaming a variety of content on Apple TV+ that keeps it relevant and contemporary to its audience. The company’s multiyear programming partnership with women’s rights activist and youngest Nobel laureate, Malala Yousafzai, also reflects the trend.
Notably, Malala Yousafzai joins a long list of creative content developers for Apple TV+ that includes Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Idris Elba, Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Octavia Spencer, Kumail Nanjiani and Alfonso Cuaron.
Although Apple TV+ has failed to gain significant market share in the streaming space currently dominated by the likes of
Netflix
NFLX
,
Amazon
AMZN
and
The Walt Disney
DIS
, its content has received critical acclaim due to these creative visionaries.
Markedly, Apple TV+’s
Wolfwalkers
has been nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, while
Greyhound
, written by and starring Tom Hanks, has also won a nomination for Best Sound.
