In its latest original content efforts, Apple is working on closing a deal to turn the film Time Bandits into a TV series.
As reported by Deadline, the show will be co-produced by Anonymous Content, Paramount Television, and Media Rights Capital.
The report doesn’t give much more information beyond that, but that’s expected. Especially, if the company is still working on closing the deal and has yet to start production.
With no release date or time frame given by Apple, it’s possible that the company could completely scrap all of its original content efforts at will. However, it’s more likely that Apple will be announcing its original content service within the next few years, looking to rival the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and possibly streaming TV services such as YouTube TV, PlayStation Vue, or Sling.
