Bolstering its expanding stable of original kids' and family programming, Apple TV Plus has signed a first-of-its-kind, multi-year agreement with the Maurice Sendak Foundation to develop children's series and specials based on the late author-illustrator's books and other artwork. Writer-director and author-illustrator Arthur Yorinks, who was a longtime collaborator of Sendak, will be developing the projects with Apple through his Night Kitchen Studios. The resulting programs will premiere around the world exclusively on Apple's streaming platform, which launched last November.
