He co-created the series with Brendan Hunt (who plays Coach Beard), Bill Lawrence, and Joe Kelly. Sudeikis won back-to-back Emmys for Best Actor in a Comedy. A Season 4 is officially in production for 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Cut it off! The answer is Jason Sudeikis. Jon Hamm is Mad Men (and later showed up as himself in Ted Lasso Season 2). Will Ferrell hasn\u2019t done an Apple TV+ show. Brendan Hunt plays Coach Beard \u2014 Ted\u2019s silent assistant \u2014 and was a co-creator, but Sudeikis is the title character and won two Best Actor Emmys for the role.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"atv-btn-next\" for=\"atv-s2\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q2: Severance --><\/p>\n<section class=\"atv-slide atv-sl2\">\n<div class=\"atv-question-card\">\n<p>02<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"atv-question-text\">Ben Stiller-directed sci-fi thriller Severance became a cultural phenomenon with its eerie Macrodata Refinement floors and \u201cpraise Kier\u201d cultishness.

Weyland-Yutani is from Alien; Umbrella Corp is Resident Evil; Apex is fictional but not this show. Lumon\u2019s retro-futuristic aesthetic (beige Macbook-era CRTs and long hallways) has become instantly iconic.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Cut it off! The answer is Lumon Industries. Weyland-Yutani is the Alien franchise\u2019s evil megacorp. Umbrella Corp runs Resident Evil. Apex isn\u2019t a recognisable fictional company. Lumon is the creepy biotech behind Severance \u2014 with its Kier Eagan cult of personality, waffle parties, and surgically separated \u201cinnies\u201d and \u201couties.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"atv-btn-next\" for=\"atv-s3\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q3: CODA --><\/p>\n<section class=\"atv-slide atv-sl3\">\n<div class=\"atv-question-card\">\n<p>03<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"atv-question-text\">In March 2022, Apple TV+ made streaming history when one of its films became the first from any streaming service to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Troy Kotsur\u2019s supporting-actor win was the first for a deaf male actor. The Morning Show is a TV series, Greyhound is Apple\u2019s Tom Hanks WWII film, Killers is an Apple film but was released later.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Cut it off! The answer is CODA. The Morning Show is a series. Greyhound is Apple\u2019s 2020 Tom Hanks WWII film (a solid hit but not an Oscar winner). Killers of the Flower Moon \u2014 Scorsese\u2019s 2023 Apple release \u2014 was nominated for 10 Oscars but won none.

Gary Oldman \u2014 Oscar winner for Darkest Hour \u2014 plays Jackson Lamb opposite Kristin Scott Thomas\u2019 glacial Diana Taverner. The series adapts Mick Herron\u2019s Slough House novels and has become Apple\u2019s most quietly successful long-running drama, renewed through at least Season 6. Oldman has repeatedly called Lamb his favourite role of his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Cut it off! The answer is Gary Oldman. Anthony Hopkins hasn\u2019t done an Apple TV+ series of this prominence. Colin Firth was reportedly in contention for different spy roles (including Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy\u2019s George Smiley, which Oldman also played). Jim Broadbent appears elsewhere.

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon \u2014 both also executive producers \u2014 anchor the show as Alex Levy and Bradley Jackson. Reportedly each earned a then-record $1.1 million per episode. Steve Carell co-stars as the disgraced anchor whose firing kicks off the entire series. Aniston earned her first Emmy nomination for dramatic work for the role in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Cut it off! The answer is Jennifer Aniston &amp; Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon &amp; Dern did Big Little Lies (on HBO). Kidman was also in Big Little Lies. Meryl Streep joined The Morning Show in later seasons (a supporting role). Aniston and Witherspoon lead and produce \u2014 both reportedly making $1.1M per episode in one of streaming\u2019s richest-ever deals.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"atv-btn-next\" for=\"atv-s6\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q6: For All Mankind --><\/p>\n<section class=\"atv-slide atv-sl6\">\n<div class=\"atv-question-card\">\n<p>06<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"atv-question-text\">Ronald D.

That single change cascades across decades: women astronauts are pushed early, lunar bases are built in the 1970s, Mars is reached in the 1990s, and so on. Each season time-jumps ahead a decade, showing how this different history snowballs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Cut it off! The answer is the Soviets landing on the Moon first \u2014 June 1969, beating Apollo 11. That single change drives everything: continued funding, expanded NASA, women astronauts, a permanent lunar base by the 1980s, Mars missions in the 1990s. Aliens aren\u2019t in the show.

Apple TV+ launched on November 1, 2019 \u2014 just before Disney+ beat it to market by 11 days. Apple went in with a tiny roster of about nine originals (versus Disney+\u2019s massive back catalogue) but compensated with $1 billion in original content spend and a one-year free trial for Apple hardware buyers. Its quality-over-quantity bet has since paid off in awards and prestige.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Cut it off! The answer is November 2019 \u2014 specifically November 1st, just 11 days before Disney+ launched (a deliberate piece of scheduling brinkmanship). Apple launched with only nine originals and priced at $4.99\/month to try to get ahead of Netflix and Disney.

With the first draft now complete, things could potentially be slowing down as Sanderson receives notes and adjustments from Apple TV.<\/p>\n<p>During the latest weekly update on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WBVe53VhIK0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sanderson&#8217;s YouTube channel<\/a>, he stated that he is still collecting feedback on the screenplay and expects the script to undergo at least three more revisions before it is ready.

The books will be adapted into a TV series that will consist of ten episodes. There are currently five main books in The Stormlight Archive, including <em>The Way of Kings<\/em> (2010), <em>Words of Radiance <\/em>(2014), <em>Oathbringer<\/em> (2017), <em>Rhythm of War<\/em> (2020), and <em>Wind and Truth<\/em> (2024), with more on the way. <\/p>\n<p>There is no official release date for Apple TV&#8217;s <strong><em>Mistborn <\/em><\/strong>film at the time of this article&#8217;s publication.
