Apple TV+ documentary Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry has driven record numbers of new viewers to the streaming service.
As reported by Deadline:
Whilst Apple was expectedly coy about the specifics, it is clearly thrilled with the reception given its decision to share this information. Apple's TV+ software continues to thrive, but its hardware remains left out in the cold somewhat, with the Best Apple TV going still the 32GB Apple TV 4K, and no sign of an update in sight.
Announced in February, the documentary was released last week on the service, described by Apple as "the true coming-of-age story of the singer-songwriter and her rise to global superstardom" told through Eilish's journey at 17 as she wrote and recorded her first album.
Apple even released a limited edition gift card to celebrate the release of the documentary in Eilish's own trademark green and blue colors.
