Apple to cut spending on original TV series

According to Bloomberg, Apple TV+ has invested more than $20 billion in original program production since its launch in 2019, but with little success, Apple is cutting back on its spending on film and television content.

Since its launch, Apple TV+ has been aiming at high-quality original content, inviting many Hollywood stars to join at great expense, and producing a series of star-studded, well-made dramas and movies. Although these works have won numerous awards and praise, Apple TV+'s market share has always been sluggish. According to statistics, in the US market, Apple TV+'s TV ratings are only 0.2%, far lower than Netflix's 8%, and even the daily playback volume is less than Netflix's total daily playback volume.
