If I look at my streaming platform subscriptions (very few anymore), AppleTV is still a source of more good series than any other: Separation, Ted Lasso, Acapulco, The Morning Show, etc. YMMV. If I think of cancelling it, I think, "well, but they do have good shows now and then."
So turning a movie almost no one sees into a hit series makes total sense. "Theatrical release" still has some prestige with actors, but they'll get over it someday.
