New movies coming to Apple TV Plus
Killers of the Flower Moon
This big-name film will be in theaters this October and streaming on Apple TV Plus sometime thereafter. The Martin Scorsese-directed Killers of the Flower Moon premiered at the Cannes Film Festival recently and earned a seven-minute standing ovation.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone, the epic turn-of-the-century Western crime saga illuminates a true-life story. When oil is discovered under Native American Osage land, the Osage Nation becomes rich overnight. This attracts dishonest white men who manipulate and eventually murder to get their hands on the money. Killers of the Flower Moon follows the FBI investigation and an improbable love story. Killers of the Flower Moon is a shoo-in for another Apple TV Plus Oscar nomination.

Stephen Curry: Underrated

Follow Curry’s coming-of-age story and his journey to becoming one of the top players in the NBA in this documentary. Real Madrid: Until The End was a great example of how to do a sporting documentary, let’s hope Underrated is too.

New TV shows coming to Apple TV Plus
Lessons in Chemistry
Lessons in Chemistry, based on the massively popular book by Bonnie Garmus, is coming to Apple TV Plus this fall. I’ll be honest, I read the book, which had been recommended to me by several people, and it made me pretty angry for reasons I can’t share without spoilers. Still, I’m looking forward to watching the series, which stars Captain Marvel herself, Brie Larson.
It takes place in the 1960s and follows the life and career of brilliant chemist Elizabeth Zott, who is relegated to a more “female-appropriate” position as the star of a cooking show. Of course, she isn’t content to share just recipes; she has a lot more to teach the women (and men) who watch the show.
