Apple TV’s summer slate thickens as three acclaimed series push new episodes through late May. Season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors returned with an 88% Rotten Tomatoes rating, while For All Mankind continues season 5 at 90%. The schedule also slots fan‑favorite Ted Lasso and sci‑fi anthology Dark Matter, giving subscribers comedy and genre balance.

Adding fresh firepower, Apple TV launches Margo’s Got Money Troubles on April 15, dropping three episodes at once. The David E. Kelley‑produced dramedy adapts Rufi Thorpe’s bestseller and features Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman and Nick Offerman among a star‑studded cast. SXSW buzz translated into a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, raising expectations for the fall schedule.

Apple TV stays priced at $12.99 monthly, with a discount through Apple One, positioning it as a modest alternative to pricier rivals. By stacking three high‑profile titles, the service hopes to deepen engagement and justify the cost. The added drama should pull viewers into a family‑centric story and improve churn ahead of the September awards season.

Current subscribers can also access the lineup via the Apple One bundle, which combines TV, Music, iCloud and Arcade for a unified $19.95 monthly fee, simplifying billing for Apple ecosystem users. This package also includes Apple Fitness+, giving households a broader entertainment and wellness hub.
