Tom Hanks' Playtone Makes a Deal with Apple and They're Developing a GREYHOUND Sequel

Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman’s Playtone production company has made an exclusive multi-year deal with Apple to produce films and series for the Apple TV+ streaming service.

They already wrapped production on the World War II series Masters of the Air, which follows “the deeply personal story of the American bomber boys in World War II who brought the war to Hitler’s doorstep.” This is the next installment of the Band of Brothers and The Pacific series.

It was also announced that Hanks is producing a sequel to his WWII film, Greyhound. The first film was released on Apple TV+ and it was inspired by the actual events of Captain Ernest Krause, who led an international convoy of 37 ships on a dangerous mission across the Atlantic to deliver soldiers and supplies to Allied forces.

There’s no information on the sequel, but I liked the first movie, and I’m curious to see what story the sequel will tell.

The pact also encompasses documentaries and unscripted projects for Apple to develop, produce and distribute globally.
