Apple TV+ has reportedly signed a multi-year first-look deal with Meadowlark Media, a company created by former ESPN president John Skipper and ESPN presenter Dan Le Batard.
The pair will work on new documentary and unscripted content for Apple TV+ according to a new Variety report, although it might not necessarily be related to sports.
The news comes hot on the heels of another Apple TV+ announcement that has former Schitt's Creek star Eugene Levy starring in a new travel show called The Reluctant Traveler.
Apple TV+ continues to grow with new shows, movies, and documentaries being announced seemingly all the time. Existing hit shows like Ted Lasso and Servant continue to pick up new seasons, too. Priced at just $4.99 per month, Apple TV+ might just be the best deal in streaming television right now — and things get even better if you use services like Apple Music and take advantage of Apple One, too.
