Apple TV+ viewers have a comedy double-header starting soon. Margo's Got Money Troubles, already praised with a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, continues its run. This Wednesday, Widow's Bay debuts, boasting a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. Both series offer distinct comedic flavors, solidifying Apple's growing reputation for high-quality original programming.

Margo's Got Money Troubles, adapted from Rufi Thorpe's novel, features stars like Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nicole Kidman. Its darkly humorous take on financial struggles resonated strongly with critics. Four episodes are available, with new installments dropping weekly through May 20. The show's success highlights Apple's ability to attract A-list talent and translate literary hits to the screen effectively.

Widow's Bay, created by Katie Dippold (Parks and Recreation), promises a unique blend of comedy with horror, thriller, and drama elements. Starring Matthew Rhys as a New England town mayor potentially entangled in a curse, the series has critics raving despite its unconventional mix. Premiering with two episodes this Wednesday, it'll roll out weekly through June 17. Its genre-defying approach suggests Apple is experimenting boldly within the comedy space.

Beyond these launches, Apple TV+ has more comedic content on the horizon. Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, a dark comedy-thriller starring Tatiana Maslany and Jake Johnson, arrives May 20. The platform also prepares for Ted Lasso season 4 (expected August) and the July Jake Johnson pickleball comedy The Dink. These additions indicate a strategic push to diversify its comedy lineup and retain subscribers.

For $12.99 per month, or via the Apple One bundle, subscribers gain access to this expanding comedy slate. With multiple award-worthy series airing concurrently and more premieres scheduled through summer, Apple TV+ is positioning itself as a serious contender for streaming comedy dominance. Viewers can expect both hearty laughs and inventive storytelling across its current and upcoming offerings.
