Apple's first scripted TV effort will reportedly star Dr. Dre
- 8 years ago
According to a new report, Apple is producing a new scripted television series with Dr. Dre.
Each episode of the series - it's said to have a six episode order - will focus on a different emotion and how Dre's character deals with it.
Perhaps as interesting as the series itself is how it will be distributed: The Hollywood Reporter says that will more than likely come via Apple Music .
For years, there have been rumblings of Apple's interest in creating original content à la Netflix and Amazon.
But as those efforts have cooled , it would make sense for Apple instead to focus on Apple Music as a distribution center for video content.
Moreover, making a TV series part of Apple Music would help further differentiate the service from its biggest competitors.
