Apple will roll out the new TV app “early next year”, sources told CNBC, though Apple declined to comment on the matter. Nearly two dozen projects, excluding season 2 of Carpool Karaoke, have been greenlit by Apple and are in the works. These include a reboot of Amazing Stories from Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and a space drama called For All Mankind from Battlestar Galactica’s Ronald D. Moore.
