What Else Can You Watch on Apple TV+?
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.
