Apple today announced that Oprah’s Book Club is today launching inside Apple Books, and an Apple TV+ show of the same name will be available starting November 1st.
The exclusive TV series will feature interviews with authors of the featured books, with new episodes released every two months.
The first book pick is “The Water Dancer” by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The book and audiobook can be preordered in Apple Books and will be available to read from tomorrow.
An Oprah-curated book list has existed inside of Apple Books for a while, but now Apple is officially launching the rebranded Oprah’s Book Club. In a statement, Apple CEO Tim Cook introduced the news:
Oprah’s partnership with Apple extends beyond the book club. Oprah is also producing two documentary television series for Apple TV+, including a show focusing on mental health and another entitled ‘Toxic Labor’ shining light on workplace harassment.
Apple TV+ launches on November 1st, and costs $4.99/month. The single purchase can be shared with up to six family members through Family Sharing. Purchases of a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, or iPod touch come with a free year of Apple TV+.
