I realize Apple likes to under promise, over deliver. Apple TV+'s conservative "Coming Soon" section is an example of this philosophy (assuming you can even find it, as it requires many clicks and scrolling to get to).

Given the scarcity of Apple TV+ contents, I would love to see "Coming Soon" section expanded to cover both renewed series and upcoming series and movies, all with tentative release date. A simple "Late 2020" or "2021" would do.

This.

Apple has certainly taken the “quality above quantity” approach with ATV+, but I still want to see this wide array of upcoming titles. Master of the Air has my upmost attention.

 

[AppleHater]

Once Apple finally loops around one season with premier titles coming out as second season, they'll have a great cycle completed churning out quality shows around the year.

 

[alexhardaker]

Home before dark was good. I’ll be watching the next season of that.

 

[zinacef]

Home before dark was good. I’ll be watching the next season of that.

I agree and can't wait for season 2.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Home before dark was good. I’ll be watching the next season of that.

I also enjoyed it. A little cheesy at times, but clearly written with teenagers in mind IMO. I thought it was well done and I'll probably watch season 2.

 

[Smartwatchlover]

I watched Home before dark with my kids and we all really enjoyed it.

Nice product, with a promising season 2.

The girl (main character) is amazing!
