The Apple TV app has been available on multiple set-top-boxes, smart TVs and even game consoles, but it has always eluded Google's hardware, until now. The Apple TV app and all of its content is coming to the Chromecast with Google TV set-top-box.

The announcement comes after Apple Music was added to Google's smart speaker lineup. This shows Apple is not shy to include its media services on alternate platforms.

The Apple TV app on Chromecast with Google TV will include access to all iTunes purchased content, Apple TV+, and any Apple TV Channels you've subscribed to. The app will retain its UI from other Apple products and function similarly, only lacking the ability to launch content from other apps such as Hulu.

The Apple TV app will be available on Chromecast with Google TV early in 2021.
