Studio Behind 'Ford v Ferrari' Signs Exclusive Deal With Apple TV+: What Does This Mean for the Fans?

Published 6 hours ago3 minute read

Chernin Entertainment, the studio responsible for ‘Ford v Ferrari’, has signed an exclusive deal with Apple TV+. Fans who love adrenaline-pumping cinema are in for a treat. The two have signed an exclusive deal which features a multi-year first-look contract, meaning Apple TV+ will be the go-to streaming platform for Chernin’s future projects.

Chernin is known to be the producer behind the Oscar-winning Ford v Ferrari, which made $ 225.5 million globally, while earning 2 Academy Awards. This collaboration between the two powerhouses will mean a surge in supreme drama and action content, and fans of these genres can look forward to it. There may be possible theatrical tie-ins along with direct streaming of Chernin content on Apple TV+ in the future.

Signing the deal with Chernin adds another feather in Apple TV+’s stellar production lineup. They have an impressive record for producing blockbuster movies. They have previously made movies like Hidden Figures, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and the famously critically acclaimed Ford v Ferrari. One of the forthcoming Apple TV+ releases for a Chernin Entertainment production is Jason Momoa’s Chief of War.

Now that the production house has joined hands with Apple TV+, they have an edge over the competitors. Apple TV+ will be able to secure even more big-budget, high-calibre stories, as compared to its rivals. Apple has already secured content-first deals with the likes of Scott Free Productions by Ridley Scott.

Fans will get to experience premium storytelling along with Apple TV+’s seal of approval. There may be streaming debuts and theatrical crossovers in store with this new deal. One such recent example is Apple Original movie F1, which stars A-lister Brad Pitt.

With Chernin onboard, one can anticipate a rich lineup of automotive-centric dramas and carefully crafted narratives. Even though specific titles haven’t been announced yet, the success of Ford v Ferrari can give us a preview of what to expect.

Apple TV+ may play to the strengths of the production house and release theatrical-style films as well as exclusive streaming series. One also cannot deny the potential for limited series or serialized content that revolves around racing, history, and/or engineering excellence. It’s because these are the areas Chernin has already mastered.

For a common viewer, it can mean character-centric, adrenaline-heavy stories in an ecosystem, far more synchronised and seamless, such as Apple. This would include the Apple TV app, iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV+ hub. Apple TV+’s strategy of locking down major studios with a proven box-office track record shows how it is moving forward full steam ahead towards headline-grabbing content.

Previous partnerships with the likes of Ridley-Scott and Richard Plepler for Eden Productions have cemented Apple TV’s production pedigree. You can expect teasers, marketing, ramps, and even red carpet premieres for Chernin movies in the future. Apple TV+’s strategies for bringing the best content from across the world for its viewers are the reason for its growing popularity, and we can’t wait to watch what comes next.
