Apple TV is preparing to add a new title to its library, and this time we're talking about a limited docu-series focusing on sports. This title is set to premiere soon, and we will be able to easily watch it all online. This being said, let's see how to watch Call Me Magic on Apple TV Plus.

This documentary event is the real story of a legend and offers an intimate look at the life and legacy of Earvin “Magic” Johnson, an icon for the ages - from humble beginnings to the Dream Team to business titan. They Call Me Magic features interviews with President Obama, Larry Bird, Pat Riley, and more, and the docuseries charts the life and career of a legend.

The official trailer shows clips of Magic Johnson's rise to fame scored to Sugarhill Gang's called Apache, and we can also see Johnson as he makes his famous retirement announcement, informing the public of his HIV status. Contrary to his expectation, this reveal does not end his career, as he then ends up playing for the Dream Team. He talks about opening many businesses, including his chain of movie theaters, and inspiring millions of people around the world while also focusing on his activism for HIV/AIDS.

We've already had one Earvin Johnson project this year, as HBO Max launched Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty recently. However, this new documentary limited series promises to offer a non-fiction approach to the iconic sportsman's career. This title stars Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Cookie Johnson, and Larry Bird.
