What Else Can You Watch on Apple TV+?

Apple TV+ has a wide range of original, high-quality shows and movies to stream ad-free.

Apple TV+ is a fantastic streaming service for fans of prestige TV. At just $9.99 per month for ad-free streaming, it’s one of the least expensive services out there offering playback without commercials, and it comes with a seven-day free trial for new customers in the United States.

The streaming library on Apple TV+ may be a bit smaller than other streamers, but that’s more a reflection of the service’s quality-over-quantity approach than anything else. Apple TV+ is slowly but surely building its reputation as a home of premium content led by highly recognizable stars, as evidenced by its newest series “Sunny” starring Rashida Jones, and “Presumed Innocent” featuring Jake Gyllenhaal.

The streamer has TV shows spanning every genre, as well as original movies that often find themselves Oscar contenders, such “CODA,” which won Best Picture in 2022, and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which got 10 Oscar nominations in 2024. That’s the kind of quality viewers can expect to find in every Apple TV+ original production.

If you’re new to Apple TV+, you can try the service free for seven days. That won’t carry you through until August, but it will let you watch this week’s “Friday Night Baseball” matchups, and everything else on the Apple TV+ platform at no cost for the next week while you decide if it’s a good fit for your streaming needs long term.

Apple TV

Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

…

In October 2025, Apple TV agreed to a deal with Formula 1 to exclusively broadcast all Formula 1 races starting with the 2026 season.

Apple TV also features coverage of all regular-season matches for Major League Soccer (MLS) at no additional cost.

On August 28th, 2026, the price of Apple TV was increased from $12.99 per month to $14.99 per month, the second increase in as many years.

The service is available worldwide through the Apple TV app, which is built into Apple devices and supported on most smart TVs, streaming players like Roku and Fire TV, game consoles, and web browsers. Subscribers can watch on demand, download episodes and movies for offline viewing, and stream in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, where available. Apple TV also offers family sharing, allowing up to six people to use one subscription at no extra cost.

With a competitive monthly price and bundles available through Apple One — which combines Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage, and more — the service continues to grow as a key part of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple TV delivers one of the strongest collections of exclusive content in the streaming space for viewers seeking prestige originals, cinematic storytelling, and seamless access across devices.
