  • Oprah Winfrey is launching a new interview show, “The Oprah Conversation,” for Apple TV+. It will be shot remotely and showcase interviews with newsmakers and thought leaders. The first episode airs today at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT with Ibram X. Kendi, director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University.

  • “The Girls I’ve Been” is being adapting from the Tess Sharpe novel into a Netflix feature film. Millie Bobby Brown (“Stranger Things”) will star, while Jason Bateman (“Ozarks”) will produce. Brown is currently developing “A Time Lost” at Netflix, which she’ll also star in and produce. And she’ll do double duty in her next project for the streamer, “Enola Holmes.”

  • “Captain Fall,” a new animated comedy series, will expand Netflix’s relationship with Jon Iver Helgaker and Jonas Torgersen. It’s ordered 20 episodes. The duo created “Norsemen,” which just premiered its third season on the streamer.

  • “Pursuit of Love,” the Nancy Mitford novel, is being adapted into a series, produced by Amazon and BBC One. Emily Mortimer (“The Newsroom,” “Hugo”) will direct and star in the three-episode show. The cast also includes Lily James, Emily Beecham, Dominic West and Andrew Scott. “Pursuit” takes place in Europe, between the two world wars.

  • “Eye Candy” is a partnership between Quibi and Nippon TV, starring Chrissy Teigen. The show is adapted from the “Sokkuri Sweets” format. Both celebrities and everyday people are asked to identify culinary artistry designed to look like ordinary objects. Once they decide, they have to take a bite.

  • “Parkland Rising” is a new documentary on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting co-executive produced by Katie Couric and Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am. It will live stream on The Young Turks YouTube channel and TYT.com August 3 at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT.
