With a full weekend to explore the platform, viewers can dive into Severance’s mind-bending narrative, along with a rich catalog of other acclaimed original series, films, and documentaries.
“Kick off 2025 by streaming Apple’s acclaimed originals, including buzzy new seasons of Silo, Shrinking and Bad Sisters, the twisty, riveting Presumed Innocent, Golden Globe nominees Slow Horses and Disclaimer, and award-winning hits like The Morning Show and Ted Lasso,” a statement issued by Apple said.

Customers who buy and activate a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, or iPod touch can enjoy three months of Apple TV+ for free.
