Apple Studios LLC, commonly known as Apple Original Films, is an American film, television and in-house production company that is a subsidiary of Apple Inc. Founded in October 2019, it specializes in developing and producing original television series and films for Apple's digital video streaming service Apple TV as well as films that are intended for theatrical releases.
Their series are released under the Apple Original Series branding, while their films are released under the Apple Original Films branding.
History In October 2019, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Apple Inc. was launching its own production company, overseen by Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht, to produce original television and film content for Apple TV+.
Beginning in 2023, Apple Studios decided to partner with major studios like Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures to theatrically release some of its films like Killers of the Flower Moon, Napoleon (both 2023), Argylle, Fly Me to the Moon (both 2024), and F1 (2025). They would also own the distribution rights to the films for digital purchase and home video (although said films have yet to be released on home video), but Apple retains SVOD rights to the films.
