Comedy
Mark your calendars. Apple TV+'s first British comedy, Trying, will return for Season 3 this summer. The critically acclaimed, heartwarming series has yet to really hit it big here in America, but perhaps the third time will be the charm for this underrated gem that deals with a
The Buccaneers
In recent months, Apple TV+ has slowly been upping its game regarding British and British-adjacent streaming content with shows like Slow Horses, Trying, and Ted Lasso (which feels made for Anglophiles, even if it's technically American.) The Tom Hiddleston-led The Essex Serpent was its first foray
Fingernails
Ahead of the Cannes Film Festival in May, Deadline announced a new sci-fi romance, Fingernails, would be among the projects set for auction. (The Cannes Market, which begins before the film festival itself, is one of the annual events where potential big-screen projects are packaged with actors and
Comedy
Prepare your emotions, Ted Lasso fans. It's looking more and more likely that the series will indeed end after its third season, which is currently in production. And to be fair, the team behind the megapopular football comedy has always been pretty upfront about the fact that the
Slow Horses
Apple TV+ is moving quickly with Slow Horses, granting the espionage drama a two-season renewal in the wake of its just-completed first season. The drama, which is based on the popular Slough House series of spy novels by Mick Herron, stars Oscar-winner Gary Oldman as the head

The Essex Serpent
Apple TV+'s upcoming series The Essex Serpent has all the hallmarks of a prestige period piece: It's based on Sarah Perry's bestselling historical novel; its story wrestles with complex issues of superstition, faith, and belief; and it's full of atmospheric establishing shots
The White Darkness
The forthcoming Apple TV+ period drama The Essex Serpent will arrive on screens this May, but its star Tom Hiddleston appears to have already signed on for another major project with the streamer. Hiddleston is probably best known for his role as the trickster god Loki in the Marvel Cinematic
The Essex Serpent
After launching several successful series that feel British even if they're technically not (Ted Lasso, Dickinson, Suspicion), Apple TV+ is finally set to launch its first proper British period drama this Spring. Based on the bestselling novel of the same name, The Essex Serpent will officially launch this
Slow Horses
Academy Award winner Gary Oldman is back in the spy game again for Apple TV+ in the upcoming series Slow Horses. But, unlike his previous turns in prestige films like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, this time he's playing very much against type, as the unwilling leader of a
Comedy
In television, timing is everything. His Dark Materials, which might have hit big in 2012, is one of the many also-rans of the prestige era in 2022. A series that's ahead of its time, like Life on Mars, struggles to find an audience in 2006 when in
