Apple TV+ is an American subscription streaming service owned and operated by Apple Inc. Launched on November 1, 2019, it offers a selection of original production films and television series called Apple Originals. The service was announced during the Apple Special Event of March 2019, where entertainers from Apple TV+ projects appeared on stage, among them Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg. The service can be accessed through Apple's website and through the Apple TV app, which has gradually become available for many Apple devices and some major competing streaming devices, including some smart TV models and video-game consoles. Apple plans to expand the services' availability, and there are workarounds for subscribers whose device is not presently supported. Access is included in the Apple One subscription bundle. Most of the content is available in Dolby Vision profile 5 and Atmos. Upon its debut, Apple TV+ was available in about 100 countries, fewer than the reported target of 150. Some countries were excluded from service despite other Apple products being available. Commentators noted that the fairly wide initial reach of the service offered Apple an advantage over other recently launched services such as Disney+ and that because Apple distributes its content through the service instead of distributing licensed third-party content (as, for example, Hulu does) it will not be limited by licensing issues during its expansion. By early 2020, Apple TV+ had poor growth and low subscriber numbers relative to competing services. In the middle of that year, Apple began to license older television programs and films, attempting to stay competitive with other services, attract and retain a viewership for its original content, and convert into subscribers users who were trialing the service. The service has become the home to critically-acclaimed content: between September 2021 and March 2022, Apple TV+ netted a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series with Ted Lasso and the Academy Award for Best Picture with CODA, whose win marked the first Best Picture win for a film distributed by a streaming service. Apple TV+ (along with the simultaneously announced a-la-carte premium-video subscription aggregation service Apple TV Channels) is part of a concerted effort by Apple to expand its service revenues.

It is present day, 25 years after 1999 when the monsters of Monsterland thwarted their last encounter with the space monster King Ghidorah. And after World War II's nuclear warfare had awakened giant monsters from beneath the Earth. Instead of raging war against each other, Mankind united to kill the monsters and avenge the lives of millions in their wrath. Soon after, man was faced with an even larger threat, Aliens. Races of superior beings hellhent on world domination, Man's forces now rely on their powerful giant monsters to save the Earth from anything that threatens to destroy it. One such is the King of the Monsters, the second last surviving member of its kind who first appeared in 1955. Before, he menaced the entirety of Japan but unlike his brethren from 1954 he became an ally to humanity, the hope for a safe and secure future. His name is Godzilla.
