Reynolds quip about barely noticing Apple's influence on production was clearly a joke referencing the fact he's wearing Apple's AirPods Pro, continuing a strong theme of Apple product placement in many of its shows.
The show also stars GLOW's Sunita Mani who will play Past, one of the ghosts from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Spirited is a musical adaptation of Dickens' story, no release date has been set, although you might have guessed it will probably be released around Christmas time and the holiday season.
