Apple TV is with a sequel to Tom Hanks' naval drama Greyhound, shifting from a single Atlantic crossing to encompass both the D-Day landings and Pacific theater battles. The follow-up film, which currently lacks a release date, is in production in Australia with Hanks returning as Commander Ernest Krause.

The original 2020 film depicted a tense Atlantic convoy crossing during World War II, earning praise for its realistic naval warfare depiction. This sequel aims to broaden the scope significantly, taking viewers from the beaches of Normandy to the Pacific theater's intense battles. Hanks is both writing the screenplay and reprising his role as the United States Navy commander.

By expanding the geographical and historical scope, Apple TV appears to be building on the original's success while offering a more comprehensive World War II naval experience. The production shift to Australia suggests Apple is investing in larger-scale filmmaking for its streaming platform, potentially positioning this sequel as a major flagship title in its content library.
