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.

There's A New Highest-Grossing Live-Action Sports Movie of All-Time
There's A New Highest-Grossing Live-Action Sports Movie of All-Time originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Along with the concept of creating original films that aren't sequels or prequels to a previous box-office hit, the era of timeless sports films seemed to have come to an end. However, with a chance to make a splash in the entertainment and sports world, Apple partnered with Formula One to produce a film starring two-time Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt and rising star Damson Idris. Although there was skepticism regarding how well "F1 The Movie," with a reported budget of $200-$300 million, would fare, given that it is centered around a sport still growing in popularity in the States, the results speak for themselves. As shared on X by Front Office Sports on Wednesday, the movie has become the highest-grossing live-action sports movie ever. "F1 The Movie" has crossed $460 million at the global box office, making it the highest-grossing live-action sports movie ever," read the post. "F1 The Movie," which features not only superstars of the sport like Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, among others, was filmed during nine Grand Prix weekends. It centers on Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes, a former driver who is called upon by an old friend to help save his F1 team, APXGP, from being sold. It is then that Pitt's character begins to help the team, but clashes with young-gun teammate Joshua Pearce (Idris). The two are eventually forced to work together, with a chance to secure a massive victory in Abu Dhabi after both overcoming major adversity. Aside from the film being about the growing sport, Pitt and co-star Damson Idris were the ones actually driving the cars. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed to Today's Becca Wood that they trained for three months. 'Damson Idris, who's a rising young star, had to drive in these cars and train for three months, just like Brad (Pitt) did,' Bruckheimer told 'But the brutality of what you go through in these cars that are going 180 miles an hour — they have to break down to 50. They're taking 5 Gs in the corners. It is brutal.' Highest-grossing sports movie of all time In terms of where this film ranks among all-time sports movies, whether live-action or animated, it trails only Pixar's "Cars 2," which, according to FOS, grossed $559.9 million worldwide. Will there be a sequel to "F1?" At this time, there has been no confirmation on whether or not they will create a follow-up film, but many have interpreted the ending to be setting up for another possible story. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared. Solve the daily Crossword

‘Ted Lasso' Kicks Back Into Gear With Key Returnees, New Cast for Season 4
The fourth season of Ted Lasso is underway, with filming beginning Monday and the core of the show's cast returning. Several actors have also joined the Apple TV+ series, which will find its title character (Jason Sudeikis) taking on the coaching of a women's soccer team. After a long period of speculation about the show's future following its third season finale in May 2023, Apple officially ordered a fourth season in March. Sudeikis was the only castmember that Apple would confirm at that time, but producer Warner Bros. TV had previously picked up options for Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift, who play, respectively, AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, player turned assistant coach Roy Kent and Leslie Higgins, Rebecca's right-hand man at the club. All three are returning, as are Juno Temple (Keeley Jones) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), who at the time of the season four pickup were in negotiations to reprise their roles. More from The Hollywood Reporter Apple's Matt Cherniss on Record Emmy Haul and 'Studio' Breakthrough: "Great All the Way Around" 'Murderbot' Lands Season 2 Renewal at Apple TV+ Will Apple Ever Air 'Tehran' Season 3? Along with the six returning actors, Ted Lasso will feature seven new actors in Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education), Jude Mack (Netflix's Back in Action), Faye Marsay (Andor), Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane, Enola Holmes 2) and Grant Feely. Feely will play Ted's son, Henry, taking over the role from Gus Turner, who played Henry in the previous seasons. Details on the other actors' roles are being kept quiet for now. Filming began Monday in Kansas City, Missouri, the hometown of both Sudeikis and Ted Lasso. Season three ended with Ted deciding to leave Richmond and return home to be closer to his son and ex-wife (Andrea Anders), while other members of the Richmond family were moving on to new parts of their lives. The coming season will follow Ted as he returns to Richmond (with the production also shifting to London) to coach a second division women's team. 'Throughout the course of the season,' the logline reads, 'Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.' Sudeikis, Hunt, Bill Lawrence and Joe Kelly developed Ted Lasso, based on a character Sudeikis played in a series of NBC Sports commercials for the English Premier League. They all return as executive producers for season four. Jack Burditt (Nobody Wants This, 30 Rock) will also exec produce as part of a recently signed overall deal with Apple TV+, along with writers Goldstein and Leanne Bowen, and Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer of Lawrence's Doozer Productions. Sarah Waker and Phoebe Walsh are writers and co-EPs, and Sasha Garron is a co-producer. Julia Lindon is a writer, and Dylan Marron is story editor. Warner Bros. TV produces with Universal TV and Doozer.
