Back in February , Appleexcitedly tell the worldthat its first original series , theCarpool Karaoke tailspin - off , would be launching in April . Now , according to Reuters , the premiere has been pushed back until “ by and by this twelvemonth . ”
Carpool Karaoke : The Series is one of Apple ’s first big bet on message — the company is also planning the unspeakable - looking , Shark Tank - style “ reality ” showPlanet of the Apps , as well as a written seriesstarring Dr. Dre . Based on its lagger , Carpool Karaoke : The Series front like an prolonged version of the pop section on The Late Late Show with James Corden . The “ Carpool Karaoke ” segment , in which Corden goes for a driveway with a illustrious celebrity musician , sear their tunes along the path , has wrack upmore than a billion views on YouTubefor CBS .
The segments are also cloying and annoying — and our preview from Apple does n’t look any better .
We ’re not sure why Apple has delayed its first serial ( we ’ve reached out to the company for comment and will update if it responds ) , but the optics are n’t capital . Reuters reports that Apple , a troupe have sex for punctilious and well - plan launches , has double canceled its launching company plans for the show . The series , whenever it does launch , will be exclusive for Apple Music ratifier .
On one hand , move over how speculative it looks , Apple should probably just forget about Carpool Karaoke and let the serial go to syndication ( or the Spike TV web , where anearly - identicalshow is already airs ) , just to put us all out of our misery . But on the other hand — the hand holding a elephantine suitcase full of money — though Carpool Karaoke : The Series will almost certainly be terrible , it has a much better chance at success than the sure - to - be - awfulPlanet of the Apps . That abomination is still slated for a premiere this bound , though who knows at this gunpoint .
As wediscussed in January — when word of some of Apple ’s broad message ambitions bulge out to leak out — the message secret plan is tough . Companies such as Netflix and Amazon are spend jillion of dollar mark on original programming every twelvemonth . If Apple really wants to compete with the big guys , it needs to be willing to expend money on content — preferably capacity that is gamey - character than late - Nox television whirl - offs or bad “ reality ” show . But recent report indicate thatno one in Hollywood , not even Apple , fully understand what the company is essay to do .
The good news show , we suppose , is that it will likely be at least a few more weeks before we ’re all bombarded withbad James Corden Apple Musicads again .
