As part of the deal with Apple TV+, the foundation will develop new projects based on Sendak's books and illustrations, Variety reported.
Writer, director and longtime Sendak collaborator Arthur Yorinks -- and his Night Kitchen Studios -- will help bring each project to life for exclusive release on Apple's streaming service.
The partnership with the Maurice Sendak Foundation will add to a growing slate of kids programming on Apple TV+. The Cupertino tech giant has partnered with Sesame Workshop, the Peanuts and the Jim Henson Company.
