On Monday, March 25, Apple announced a few details about its brand-new streaming service, Apple TV+. The key word there is "few": Besides its name and a tiny sneak peek at some of the new shows you'll be able to watch through the app, the tech giant kept its introduction broad and light on specifics. Still, the company is putting some serious star power behind its original content, and seems poised to be a major player in the streaming service game.

When will Apple TV+ be available? As of now there is no official release date, but it was confirmed at the Apple Event on March 25 that it will launch in over 100 countries in fall 2019. (Photo via Michael Short/Getty Images)
What will it look like? Like most available streaming services, Apple TV+ will be a paid, ad-free subscription service. Content will be available to download for offline viewing. (Photo via Michael Short/Getty Images)
How much will it cost? Pricing has not yet been made available. (Photo via Michael Short/Getty Images)
How do I use it? When Apple does eventually roll out its original programming, it'll be available through the redesigned Apple TV app. Outside of Apple devices (iOS and Mac), the app will also be available via some smart TVs, such as Samsung, VIZIO, LG, and Sony, as well as through Roku and Amazon Fire TV.

What can I watch on Apple TV+? So far, only a small selection of the streaming service's programming has been revealed, but Apple said that over 20 original titles are in the works (including Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston's much-anticipated series The Morning Show). According to The Hollywood Reporter, Apple appears to be making an initial play for some pull in the TV awards space, having invited a handful of members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — who vote for the Golden Globes — to Monday's event.

Will I see any familiar faces on these new shows? Oh boy, will you. Monday's event featured some serious star power, including Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carell to tease The Morning Show; Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard to introduce their fantasy series See; and director J.J. Abrams and musician Sara Bareilles promoting their romantic dramedy Little Voices. (Photo via Michael Short/Getty Images)
Will there be movies? While no specific films were revealed, director Steven Spielberg spoke at the event, and Apple has deals in place with major film production studios A24 and Cartoon Saloon. (Photo via Michael Short/Getty Images)
What about nonfiction and documentaries? Absolutely. None other than Oprah Winfrey was on hand to announce that she is working on several documentary series for Apple TV+. The Big Sick's Kumail Nanjiani also spoke on stage about his and wife Emily V. Gordon's heartfelt anthology series, Little America, which focuses on the lives of immigrants in America.

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
