Yes, I know this is a technology news web site, but when you're the owner of it, you can take that concept and turn it upside down.

Like any Star Trek fan, I am excited that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is set to premier on Paramount Plus on May 5th, 2022. The concept will take us fans back to the Christopher Pike/U.S.S. Enterprise days (before Captain Kirk) and add new adventures to the ever popular Star Trek Universe.

The below video comes to us from Paramount (the owners of Star Trek) and has some previews and exclusive behind the scenes looks at what it took to bring this show to the small screen.

The special "To Mom (And Dad), With Love,", which Apple has announced via a press release, states the following:

"While the other kids are excited to celebrate the special day, for Peppermint Patty it's just a reminder that she didn't grow up with a mom. With her good friend Marcie by her side, she soon realizes that real families come in all shapes and sizes, and that Mother's Day is an opportunity to thank that special person in your life who means the most to you."

Apple TV+ renews critically acclaimed ‘Pachinko’ for a second season

CompuScoop Staff April 29, 2022 3

As its first season finale streams on Apple TV+, "Pachinko" has been picked up for a second season, which will continue to tell the international and multi-generational story of its central family in Korean, Japanese, and English.

Based on the best-selling novel by Min Jin Lee, the dramatization of "Pachinko" by writer and showrunner Soo Hugh was so costly that multiple broadcast networks and streamers turned it down. Shot across several continents, it took the willingness of Apple TV+ to fully fund the entire production for it to come to the screen at all.

"Words cannot express my joy in being able to continue telling the extraordinary story of this indomitable family," said Soo Hugh in a press release. "I'm grateful to the amazing team at Apple and Media Res studio for believing and supporting this show, and to our passionate fans who have cheered us on. It's an honor to be able to continue working with this amazing cast and crew."
