Apple TV is on a roll with new shows, with more coming soon

Apple TV is about to launch its best summer programming ever, but the streamer is already on a roll with recent premieres. Here are three recent new series from Apple TV’s hot streak and the upcoming shows that look set to continue.

Apple TV’s all-new shows this year have been widely praised

For most of this year, Apple TV has focused on high-profile returning shows. These included new seasons of Shrinking, Hijack, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and, most recently, Your Friends & Neighbors.

But over the past month, the streamer has focused on brand new series and seen great success.

Three recent series are among the highest-rated Apple shows of the year:

All three shows received critical acclaim. Widow’s Bay and Margo’s both have impressive 97% Rotten Tomatoes scores. My Brother the Minotaur has been overlooked by some as a “kids’ show”, but its few reviews praise it, including The New York Times.

Each show is absolutely worth seeing if you haven’t yet.

But in the coming weeks, three additional new issues should allow Apple to continue its successful streak.

What’s Coming Next to Apple TV

Maximum pleasure guaranteed premieres next week, Wednesday May 20.

The show stars Tatiana Maslany and Jake Johnson and blends the thriller and comedy genres. The plot involves a newly divorced mother who falls into a wild spiral of blackmail and murder, but also youth football. And it generated a lot of buzz at first. (Add to Apple TV Watchlist)

Star City debuts the following week on Friday, May 29. It is a space racing thriller set in the For All Mankind universe.

The series stars Rhys Ifans and follows the alternate history of For All Mankind, but from the Soviet perspective. Apple calls it a “propulsive paranoid thriller,” indicating a faster pace than its inspiration. (Add to Apple TV Watchlist)

Cape Fear arrives on Friday June 5 with two big names behind him: Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.

The series is inspired by the 1991 Scorsese film of the same name. It stars Javier Bardem as a convicted killer who is released from prison and seeks revenge on the married lawyers who put him in prison, played by Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson. (Add to Apple TV Watchlist)
