Apple was working on a show about the defunct news publication Gawker, which has a contentious history with the company. The project has now been killed.
Apple has killed an upcoming Apple TV Plus show about Gawker, a now-defunct news organization, according to a report by the New York Times. The show, called Scraper, is one to add to the list of stories about Apple killing projects that touch things that are too sensitive or edgy for the company. When Tim Cook found out that Apple was working on the show, he reportedly sent an email saying that he was surprised to hear about it. He also mentioned he disliked Gawker.
Dre for having gratuitous violence and sex, and Apple executive Eddy Cue has reportedly said that the service will never do two things: “hardcore nudity and China”. Apple directed show-runners to avoid portraying China in a negative light, Buzzfeed has reported. The executive who bought the show, Layne Eskridge, is leaving the company. Gawker was inherently controversial — as Tim Cook personally knew. Gawker outed him as gay in 2008.
