Hollywood is going to Apple. Cue hired the Sony veterans in 2017, after Apple rolled out its first original series, a reality show called “Planet of the Apps," which was a dud. The producer J.J. Abrams has two Apple series in the works, one with Jennifer Garner, who played the lead in the Abrams-produced ABC series “Alias," and a musical show starring singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles that is about to go into production. Apple has also given the green light to animated “Peanuts" specials and children’s shows made with Sesame Workshop, and it plans to round out its offerings with films it has acquired recently at Sundance and the Toronto International Film Festival. After its own showrunner problems — the original producer’s vision was too dark for almost everyone involved, including Spielberg — Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the duo behind the ABC series “Once Upon a Fairy Tale," took over.
