Nathan Pyle's 'Strange Planet' webcomic to get an Apple TV+ animated series

Nathan Pyle's Strange Planet webcomic and graphic novels are becoming an animated series on Apple TV+. The company has decided to adapt the webcomic into a 10-episode series, with Community and Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon on board to help with the show. Its creator Pyle will serve as an executive producer on the project. Apple Studios will produce the series along with ShadowMachine, the animation studio behind Netflix's BoJack Horseman.

Strange Planet will be the second adult animated show Apple has announced. However, there is no release date yet. The comic began in 2019, and it follows a group of blue aliens that comment on human life in a strange, almost Thor-like dialogue. You can check out the comics over here.

Twitter for iOS now lets you send tweets to Instagram Stories

Twitter started testing this feature out at the end of 2020. But now, the company is giving all iOS users the ability to share tweets on Instagram Stories. As with other sharing options, you need to tap the share icon under the tweet and select Instagram Stories.

However, the feature seems to be non-interactive at the moment, meaning you can't tap on it to see the original tweet on Twitter. But it will be good for those who love to share screenshots of tweets. You can finally rid your camera roll of screenshots.

TikTok tests bringing mini-apps to videos with Jump

TikTok is expanding its test of a new Jump feature, allowing creators to embed mini-apps into their videos. So, for example, someone making a cooking tutorial can embed a link to the Whisk recipe app, so viewers can just pull up the recipe sheet inside TikTok. The company has also partnered with the likes of Wikipedia, Breathwrk (breathing exercises), Quizlet (flashcards), StatMuse (sports stats) and Tabelog (Japanese restaurant guide) for the ongoing beta test. Additional partners coming in the next few weeks include BuzzFeed, Jumprope (tutorials), IRL (event invitations) and Watcha (streaming platform/movie reviews).

TikTok is opening Jump to more developers interested in creating experiences within the app. Additional info and applications are available at tiktok.com/jump. TikTok Jumps work with HTML5 and have "minimal" technical integrations required, according to Sean Kim, TikTok U.S. head of product.
