The streaming landscape is getting crowded these days, with new services popping up left, right, and center — and it’s showing no signs of dissipating. The latest newcomer is Apple with Apple TV+, which is scheduled to launch on November 1, 

It does have a strategy to draw in new customers, though: It’s going to offer unique programming that can’t be watched elsewhere. That’s why it’s poured billions of dollars into securing some of Hollywood’s top creative minds and leading stars to write, direct, and star in an exclusive material for its on-demand streaming service, including Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Steven Spielberg, and Steve Carell.

 Its Netflix Original movie Roma was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won in three categories, including Best Director (Alfonso Cuaron) while many of its Netflix Original shows, including House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, have become annual Primetime Emmy Awards 
Seeing as Apple TV+ won’t be home to a selection of licensed or exclusive content that can even come close to that of Netflix, it can’t charge the same. As such, Apple will cost $5 per month for a plan that accommodates up to six users. That’s $4 cheaper than Netflix’s bottom-tier subscription and $11 less than its maxed-out $16-per-month Premium membership. And in a desperate bid to get the ball rolling, it’s throwing in a year’s free membership with every sale of select Apple hardware, including the new iPhone 11.  it’s offering a free membership with each sale of the Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and Mac, it’s safe to assume it will be available on all of them. And with more than 1.4 billion iOS devices in use right now, that’s a significant market it’s looking to capitalize on. There’s also been some chatter surrounding a debut on select smart TVs, including Samsung’s latest models, but that’s yet to be confirmed.
On the other hand, Netflix is available on all of the aforementioned Apple devices and can be tapped into through just about every smart television, set-top box, and streaming stick on the market, as well as on Android, so there’s a much larger potential customer base at Netflix’s disposal just waiting to be exploited. And with a purported 150 million subscribers at the time of writing, it’s done a fantastic job of onboarding a healthy slice of them.

Breaking into the film and television industry without the right connections can be nearly impossible.  You may have a great idea for a cartoon series, but unless it reaches the right hands, it will not get produced. However, under the right circumstances, and with luck, you can see your great idea transform into a television series. Write your series' pilot script. Do not "marry" your first draft. Send it to friends and colleagues for feedback to perfect your pilot. Continue rewriting until you have a solid draft. Protect your script by registering it with the Writers Guild of America (WGA). Compile a list of agents. Search different agency sites, and research literary agents who specialize in representing television writers for animation. While most agencies will be in Los Angeles, other agencies specializing in animation can be found in New York, and smaller agencies can be found in various cities across the country. Once you complete your list of agents, call ...
