· Apple Original Films today announced it will expand its award-winning feature film slate with "The Family Plan," a new action-comedy feature from Skydance Media, starring Academy Award-nominee Mark Wahlberg and directed by Simon Cellan Jones ("Arthur the King," "Years and Years," "The Diplomat").

· Municipal Pictures' Stephen Levinson and Mark Wahlberg will produce with Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger.

· Written by David Coggeshall, "The Family Plan," tells the story of a suburban dad who must take his family on the run when his past catches up to him.

· "The Family Plan" hails from a first-look partnership with Apple and Skydance Media, and will join upcoming titles including "The Greatest Beer Run Ever," a highly anticipated film from director Peter Farrelly that stars Zac Efron and Russell Crowe and that will premiere on September 30; and "Ghosted," a high-concept romantic action adventure film starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas, and directed by Dexter Fletcher.

The partnership also includes a two-season order for the imaginative series, "Wondla."

· Apple TV+ offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all your favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV+ became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut.
