Apple TV has premiered Twisted Yoga, a three-part true crime docuseries that marks a rare genre entry for the streaming platform. The series launched today with all episodes available immediately, ranging from 42 to 50 minutes each. This follows Apple TV's limited true crime catalog, which previously included only The Big Conn (2022) and Hollywood Con Queen (2024).

Twisted Yoga explores the case of Gregorian Bivolaru, a Romanian yoga instructor facing charges in France including human trafficking, kidnapping, and rape. The series follows international students who joined his yoga network seeking spiritual growth but later alleged cult-like manipulation. Bivolaru denies the accusations as former students collaborate with French authorities.

This true crime addition represents a strategic expansion for Apple TV, which has built its reputation on sci-fi hits, thrillers, and comedies. The platform costs $12.99 per month or comes discounted through Apple One bundles. True crime's popularity on competing services like Netflix suggests Apple TV aims to capture broader audience segments with this genre experiment.
