In a surprise move, Apple has announced that it will make Apple TV+ available for free to all viewers on Saturday, January 4th, and Sunday, January 5th. The announcement, which came earlier than expected, was shared on X where Apple invited users to “see for yourself” by streaming content for free over the two days.
The tweet featured a variety of Apple TV+ content, including Presumed Innocent, a gripping crime drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal. In the series, Gyllenhaal plays a prosecutor caught in a murder investigation where he becomes the prime suspect. Along with this, Apple highlighted Wolfs, an action-comedy film starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. The film, which had a limited theatrical release in September, revolves around two “fixers” and is now available for streaming on Apple TV+. Additionally, Apple teased the upcoming second season of Severance, a psychological thriller starring Adam Scott, Britt Lower, and Patricia Arquette. The show focuses on a company where employees can sever their work and personal lives through a mysterious procedure, Phonearena reported.
