To create the X-Men ‘97 score, Andy Grush and Taylor Stewart had to work through their nostalgia and create new sounds from the future.
The second episode of Prehistoric Planet Immersive will be available on April 19th, according to the Apple TV Plus page for the series.

Yesterday, the NYT said there were discussions of entering exclusive talks, and now multiple outlets report the companies have entered a 30-day exclusive negotiating window.

The first season of Apple TV Plus’ The Big Door Prize series from David West Read asked its characters to imagine what more their lives could be if they really tapped into their full potential. And the show’s new season season 2 trailer makes it feel like the titular prize machine is going to change the game with “a new stage.”
The Big Door Prize back on April 24.
Paramount still hasn’t settled on a partner, but the New York Times reports negotiations with Skydance over a possible merger have reached the step of “discussing entering into exclusive talks.”
