Apple bringing back Spielberg series

Apple is digging into the more than $1 billion it has set aside for original programming to create its first known television project: a revival of a Steven Spielberg series from the 1980s. It struck a 10episode deal to revive “Amazing Stories,” NBC Universal has confirmed. Apple is making a huge push to compete against Facebook and Google, which have followed Netflix and Amazon into the streaming business. Bryan Fuller, whose credits include “Hannibal,” “American Gods” and “Heroes,” will serve as executive producer. It was not clear if Spielberg will be actively involved in the series.
