Apple rolls out 'Dickinson' trailer, coming soon to Apple TV+
Apple has debuted the first trailer for 'Dickinson,' examining the rise of author Emily Dickinson, and as a voice for the modern age.
Starring Hailee Steinfeld, the 30-minute comedy series will look at the restrained 19th-century world of Emily Dickinson through the poet's unique filter. Steinfeld has never before had a regular TV role, being best known for movies like "True Grit" and "Pitch Perfect," as well as her musical career.
Alena Smith will serve as writer and executive producer, while David Gordon Green is set to direct and executive produce. Alex Goldstone from Anonymous Content will also executive produce, alongside Michael Sugar and Ashley Zalta via Sugar23 Productions and Darlene Hunt. The show is being produced by wiip, Anonymous Content, and Sugar23.
A release date for it, or the Apple TV+ service as a whole is as of yet unknown.
Apple CEO Tim Cook took to the stage at the March 25 event to deliver what he ultimately called a "sneak peek" at the new streaming video service called Apple TV+. In a presentation that was replete with star names, Apple would only say that the service is coming this Fall and be available via the Apple TV app.
No pricing has yet been announced, and it is not yet known if Apple would offer bundles with its existing Apple Music, the Apple News+ service, or any third-party video streaming services.

Didn't even know people knew about this show.
(Not bashing, just curious.)
So far though this is risking being a vanity project that will be uncompetitive in a crowded market. Will that matter if it is tied with hardware purchases? Standalone it could Ping!
It better have an impressive back catalogue from real content providers. You know, the people that traditionally bought Mac hardware and were its most loyal customers.
Hailee Steinfeld was amazing in True Grit.
Steinfeld + the time period + genre makes me excited to watch this.
Vanity project as in Sony paying ludicrous amounts to get into movies, which has taken years and years to recoup.
It needs a lot of content to justify a subscription. If it is just the twenty or thirty Apple funded originals, then it would be free with an Apple Music subscription. Otherwise, like Sony, it will take a generation to recoup the cost. And likely to be seen more by pirates than subscribers.
I believe he means Apples tech employees interrupting as was previously rumored. Tim Cook said he and others at Apple do not give directing advice to the creators who "know what they're doing".
Apple is better at making money than Sony. Apple has the platforms in place and will come out swinging.
Oh, but why would people pirate shows that the web-goers have already declared won't be any good? Why would someone watch something that isn't any good? Hmm we have a conundrum here.
