  Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are teaming up again to develop a spiritual sequel to Band Of Brothers and The Pacific
  The new series is based on Donald L Miller’s book Masters Of The Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought The Air War, which tells the story of US Air Force in the Second World War
  According to Deadline, the miniseries will span eight hours and will cost upwards of $200 million (£158 million) to make
  This new series will be launched on Apple’s new streaming service Apple +, which is the company’s attempt to rival streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon
  Band Of Brothers and The Pacific both became massive successes for HBO, scoring a total of 43 Emmy nominations and 14 wins
    It’s believed HBO was originally supposed to air Masters Of Air, but the rights moved to Apple as they’re ‘better situated to make the requisite financial commitment’
  Spielberg, Hanks and Goetzman will be executive producers on the new series, which will be written by Band Of Brothers’ John Orloff
  It also marks the second Spielberg project for Apple + following his anthology series Amazing Stories
    Apple  Plus launches in the UK on 1 November.
