Apple TV+ may have launched less than six years ago to date, but that has not stopped it from becoming one of the streaming services to watch out for. Though platforms like Netflix still have a leg up on it in terms of subscriber count and reputation, Apple TV+ now boasts dozens of original series. Released concurrently with the platform’s launch, For All Mankind is emblematic of the streamer’s quick success. The series is not only critically acclaimed, but it has been popular enough to spawn a spinoff series Star City.

Apple TV+ has several series running right now, including Severance season 2 and Mythic Quest season 4. Though the platform seems to have focused most of its energy on the television sphere, the streamer has also produced a number of films. These have ranged from streaming-exclusive dramas like Greyhound to high-profile theatrical тιтles like Killers of the Flower Moon and The Tragedy of Macbeth. Now, one of their recent films is getting viewership numbers so strong, it just broke records.
