Apple TV+’s Slate Continues To Grow
Lucky will be one of the multiple drama television series Apple TV+ is currently working on. The streaming platform is developing yet another season of Slow Horses, after the fourth installment of the show starring Gary Oldman came to a close during the fall. Apple TV+ is also working on new episodes of The Morning Show. The acclaimed project starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon will return for at least two more seasons. If Apple TV+ has proven something by this point of the streaming wars, it is that they’ll keep producing more seasons of the shows audiences are actually confident in.
A release date for Lucky hasn’t been set by Apple TV+.
