Legendary Hollywood director Martin Scorsese has signed a multi-year agreement with Apple to create exclusive film and TV projects for the Apple TV+ streaming service.

The deal with Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions will include the recently acquired Killers Of The Flower Moon starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Nir, according to Deadline.

Last year, Scorsese directed gangster epic The Irishman for Netflix.

Scorsese joins a flurry of recent big name sign-ups by Apple as it bids to bolster its TV content, including DiCaprio, Idris Elba and Ridley Scott.
