Apple TV+ Slashes $20 Billion in Spending Amid Low Viewership
Despite critical acclaim, Apple TV+ struggles with minimal audience engagement, prompting a shift in budget strategy.
- Apple TV+ generates less monthly viewership than Netflix achieves in a single day.
- The streaming service has spent over $20 billion on original content since its launch in 2019.
- High-profile projects from directors like Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott have not translated into significant viewership.
- Apple is now focusing on cost-cutting measures, including fewer renewals and more financial responsibility on third-party studios.
- Future seasons of popular shows like 'Severance' and 'Foundation' face budget constraints and production delays.
