Tom Hanks' WWII film "Greyhound" is set to premiere on Apple TV+, as reported by Deadline.

The film, written by Hanks, focuses on an officer named George Krause, who commands Navy destroyer Greyhound during the Battle of the Atlantic. The film portrays Krause battles with his own self-doubts and personal demons, along with the enemy, to prove that he is in charge.

Greyhound was initially slated for release in the movie theaters on Father's Day weekend, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, Sony Pictures has opened up bids to premier the firm on digital storefronts.

Deadline claims that there was a bidding war with multiple streaming services for streaming rights, but Apple ultimately secured it, with the company is calculated to have spent approximately $70 million to air the film exclusively on Apple TV+.

An official release date for the film hasn’t been shared by Apple, however, Deadline suggests that it could be coming soon.
