The 25 Best TV Shows On Apple TV+ Right Now (April 2025)

Coming from the powerful Apple Inc., it is perhaps not surprising that Apple TV+ has managed to become such a major streaming service since its launch in 2019, but the best shows on Apple TV+ highlight its incredible library of content. Though it does not churn out as much content as rival streamers like Netflix and Hulu, Apple TV+ has delivered some of television's most acclaimed shows, like Severance and Slow Horses, as well as some ambitious TV projects like Silo and Masters of the Air.

There has been a bit of a mixed bag of news coming from Apple TV+ in the past month. In a shocking report, it was revealed that Apple is losing $1 billion a year in its streaming, causing some to worry about the future of their favorite shows. However, on the positive side, the second season of Severance was a huge hit, becoming the most-watched series in the platform's history, while the new Apple TV+ series The Studio is being called one of the best new shows of the year.
