Ah “Fifth Season” is the name of the company. I was racking my brain trying to understand what it meant.

Lol yeah and I thought it was gonna be a fifth season expansion of the show which might suck.

I didn’t realize that Apple did not already own the show. Media rights are wild.

Oh good. Nothing’s as good for shareholders as taking wildly successful independent creators and bringing them closer to where the executives can slash their resources to scarifice long term shareholder value in exchange for a temporary stock price bump.

Edit: Hang on, I need to go buy some Apple stock. Visionarily pulling the same short sighted crap has really sold me on their long term prospects.
