More science fiction is headed to Apple TV+, according to a new video and report. Apple has published a "first look featurette" video and related augmented reality app for its alternate-history space-program drama For All Mankind's second season, and the report claims a drama about a robot accused of murder is soon to begin production.
The latter will be a feature film called Dolly and will be based by a short story written by Elizabeth Bear. According to Deadline, Apple acquired the film "following a competitive bidding war" involving four bidders, including multiple studios and another streaming company.
The film is described as a science fiction take on a courtroom drama, with the premise that a robotic doll murders its owner but "shocks the world by claiming she is not guilty and asking for a lawyer."
