PREVIOUSLY (Feb. 26): Apple Original Films announced that the documentary Bono: Stories of Surrender will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on May 30. In addition, the 'lyrical, bold exploration' of the U2 singer's one-man show of the same name based on his 2022 memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs One Story, will also be the first feature-length film available on the Apple Vision Pro in Apple Immersive Video.
The movie directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James) is described in a press release as, 'a vivid reimagining of Bono's critically-acclaimed one-man stage show, Stories of Surrender: An Evening of Words, Music and Some Mischief…, as he pulls back the curtain on a remarkable life and the family, friends, and faith that have challenged and sustained him, revealing personal stories about his journey as a son, father, husband, activist and rockstar. Along with never-before-seen, exclusive footage from the Beacon Theatre shows, the film features Bono performing many of the iconic U2 songs that have shaped his life and legacy.'
The Apple Vision Pro version will present the film in 8K with Spatial Audio, producing a 180-degree visual that, 'places viewers onstage with Bono and in the center of his story. With this special edition of the film available only on Vision Pro, viewers will feel completely immersed in the music and storytelling of Surrender.'
The movie was produced by RadicalMedia's Oscar- and Emmy-winning duo of Jon Kamen and Dave Sirulnick (Summer of Soul, Hamilton), along with Plan B Entertainment's Oscar-winning actor/producer Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner (Moonlight, 12 Years a Slave), with Bono executive producing with Jennifer Pitcher (Kiss The Future) and Kelly McNamara (V-U2 an Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas).
An abridged and updated edition of Bono's memoir — described as 'introspective, intimate and irreverent in equal measure… refined to mirror the arc of his one-man show and featur[ing] a film tie-in book cover and new introduction by the author' — will be released in conjunction with the documentary.

‘Ted Lasso' Stars Surprise Fans Onstage at Mumford & Sons Concert
Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple and Brendan Hunt led the band in a rendition of the show's theme song 'Ted Lasso' is coming back — but the Richmond crew isn't in England anymore. As Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple and Brendan Hunt began filming for the fourth season of the Apple TV+ series in Kansas City, the group stopped by a Mumford & Sons concert to help sing their theme song. Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons co-created the theme song for the show alongside Tom Howe. The concert took place on July 24 at the Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs — a suburb of Kansas City.

At this point, Sudeikis, Waddingham, Temple and Hunt took the stage, dancing and singing along. 'Mumford & Sons performing the Ted Lasso theme song LIVE with the crew of Ted Lasso in #KC #tedlasso' user @JillianC_arroll shared on X. You can view the performance below. On Monday, Apple TV+ shared a first look at the fourth season of 'Ted Lasso.' The teaser featured series regulars Sudeikis, Waddingham, Temple and Jeremy Swift at what appears to be a midwestern diner. Swift did not join the group at the concert. In 2023, 'Ted Lasso' returned to Apple TV+ for a third season initially conceived as a potential series finale. The final episode of the third season was titled 'So Long, Farewell' and tied up a number of plot threads — including sending the Kansas-based Coach Lasso home after a successful final season with AFC Richmond. In March, Apple TV+ officially renewed 'Ted Lasso' for a fourth season, confirming the return of Sudeikis. In the new season, Coach Lasso will take the reins of Richmond's new women's team, which was established at the end of Season 3. Sudeikis, who grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, brings a lot of personal history to the midwestern character. 'Ted Lasso's' current Kansas City filming marks a homecoming for the 'SNL' alum and series co-developer. Based on the reactions in the video, the crowd at the Azura seemed thrilled to have him back. 'KANSAS CITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!' Sudeikis yelled to the crowd after the song. 'How lucky are they?'

Rhea Seehorn reunites with Vince Gilligan in new genre-bending sci-fi series 'Pluribus 'first look
Apple TV+ also dropped a brief teaser for the mysterious series, debuting Nov. 7. Attention, Kim Wexler hive: Apple TV+ dropped a first look at Vince Gilligan's highly-anticipated new show, a sci-fi drama that reunites him with his Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn. Titled Pluribus, the nine-episode series, described as genre-bending, centers on the most miserable person on Earth, tasked to save the world from happiness, per the enigmatic logline. A concerned Seehorn takes a phone call in the first look photo (above); Apple TV+ also released a clip, titled "Happiness is Contagious," that takes cues from 2015 Ariana Grande: a woman licks a donut, then places it into a box. The series, premiering Nov. 7, has already been picked up for a second season. Starring alongside Seehorn are Karolina Wydra and Carlos-Manuel Vesga, as well as guest stars Miriam Shor and Samba Schutte. Gilligan executive produces alongside his former Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul collaborators Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Diane Mercer, and Allyce Ozarski, as well as Jeff Frost, Jenn Carroll, and Trina Siopy. Gilligan last collaborated with Seehorn on Better Call Saul, the acclaimed AMC prequel series to Breaking Bad that chronicled the transformation of Bob Odenkirk's attorney Jimmy McGill to the crooked Saul Goodman. Seehorn's turn on the show, as fellow lawyer Kim Wexler, earned her two Emmy nominations throughout its six-season run between 2015 and 2022. Gilligan told Deadline earlier this year that he created the show specifically for Seehorn, teasing her character as "very different" from Kim Wexler. "She plays someone who's trying very hard to be good," he teased. "She's a bit of a damaged hero but she's a hero nonetheless. It's just a pleasure to work with her because she's just the best."In the same interview, Seehorn called the series "thought-provoking" and at times "upsetting," noting it was also "so, so funny." She added, "It really swings for the fences." Pluribus debuts with two episodes on Nov. 7, followed by new episodes every Friday through Dec. 26. Check out the first look image and teaser above.

Breaking Bad creator's new show streams on Apple TV+ November 7
Apple has announced that Pluribus , a new science fiction drama from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, will premiere on Apple TV+ on November 7. Gilligan was confirmed to be working on the project back in 2022, when Better Call Saul 's Rhea Seehorn was also announced as its primary star. Alongside the premiere date, Apple also released a short (somewhat ominous) teaser for the series that shows a hospital employee mindlessly licking donuts. Pluribus is supposed to follow "the most miserable person on Earth" (presumably Seehorn) as they "save the world from happiness," but your guess is as good as mine as to how the two tie together. Apple's penchant for backing science fiction shows has been well-documented at this point. The company is currently producing a television adaptation of William Gibson's Neuromancer , and has made three seasons and counting of Foundation , based on the novel series by Isaac Asimov. Toss in things like Severance , Murderbot , Silo and For All Mankind and you've got a pretty varied catalog of sci-fi media to choose from. Just how "science fiction" Pluribus will actually be remains up in the air. When reports went out in 2022 that Apple was ordering two seasons of the show, it was described as "a blended, grounded genre drama." Apple's premiere date announcement pitches the show as "a genre-bending original." Pluribus' nine-episode first season will premiere on November 7 with two episodes. New episodes will stream weekly after that, all the way through December 26.
