Apple Pacts with Maurice Sendak Foundation

Through the deal, Apple and The Maurice Sendak Foundation will reimagine new children’s series and specials based on the books and illustrations by the late Sendak. These will then premiere all over the world exclusively on Apple TV+.

Sendak came to worldwide fame in 1963 with the release of his book Where the Wild Things Are, which has sold over 20 million copies to date.

This marks the first time that The Maurice Sendak Foundation has entered into an overall agreement with a streaming service. Apple will work with writer-director and longtime Sendak collaborator Arthur Yorinks through his Night Kitchen Studios to develop each project inspired by Sendak’s stories and pictures.
