Apple TV has unveiled a major expansion of its entertainment catalog, introducing an eight-part dating documentary series titled "The Last Person on Earth" and a live-action film adaptation of Mattel's Matchbox toy line starring John Cena.

The announcements came during San Diego Comic-Con weekend, revealing the service's future programming strategy, which includes new trailers for sci-fi titles and long-term plans for established franchises.

New Dating Series and Matchbox Film

The dating series pairs individuals with opposing personalities, guided by relationship experts and therapists.

This marks a shift toward lighter, unscripted relationship programming for the platform, historically focused on high-budget scripted drama.

Meanwhile, "Matchbox The Movie" is an action feature centered on high-speed stunts and covert operations, produced with Mattel.

John Cena plays an undercover CIA operative, steering the adaptation into an action-thriller direction rather than an animated family concept.
