Apple TV+ continues to grow their slate of original projects with the orders of three new series that will be developed by directors Robert Rodriguez (Alita: Battle Angel), Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and Justin Kurzel (Assassin’s Creed).

Robert Rodriguez is set to direct and produce a series based on a comic book by Richard Dominguez called El Gato Negro a.k.a. The Black Cat with Diego Boneta (Terminator: Dark Fate), who will star in and produce the show. The story centers on “the intergenerational exploits of two crime-fighting heroes in South Texas. The first is a young man who takes up the mantle of a fabled local hero to avenge the death of his best friend, while the other is his grandfather, a lucha (Mexican wrestler) who turned to crime-busting decades earlier.”

Justin Kurzel is teaming up with Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam...
