Apple TV has continued its strategy of releasing fewer but high-quality shows, and 2025 was no exception. From sci-fi epics to sharp comedies, the streamer delivered standout series that had both critics and audiences talking. Here’s a look at the 10 best Apple TV shows of 2025.
10. Mythic Quest Season 4
The gaming comedy wrapped up with a revised series finale, giving closure to Ian and Poppy’s story. While the new ending feels safer, the effort to “redo” the finale is commendable.
9. Chief of War Season 1
Jason Momoa leads this Hawaiian historical drama. Slow to start but visually stunning, it mixes grand historical events with intimate personal stories, including a compelling romance between Kupuohi and Namake.
8. Foundation Season 3
Season 3 leans more into Empire plotlines than the books, delivering standout performances from Lee Pace and Laura Birn. Fans praised its emotional depth, especially in the finale.
7. Dope Thief Season 1
This dark comedy about robbers posing as DEA agents benefits from strong performances by Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mulgrew. Fun and fast-paced, even if it stretches plausibility near the end.
6. Your Friends & Neighbors Season 1
Jon Hamm shines in this darkly comedic take on a morally gray rich guy’s misadventures. Amanda Peet and Olivia Munn provide solid support, making it surprisingly thought-provoking.
5. The Morning Show Season 4
Jennifer Aniston delivers her best Alex Levy yet as the series explores corporate chaos and family drama. Timely and dramatic, the show remains a steady favorite.
4. Slow Horses Season 5
Season 5 adds a malevolent, apocalyptic tone, with Gary Oldman’s Lamb facing London-wide chaos. An engaging spy thriller with fresh twists and evolving characters.
3. Pluribus Season 1
A record-breaking hit for Apple TV, Pluribus blends humor, grief, and thoughtful storytelling. Rhea Seehorn delivers a career-defining performance in a mostly one-woman show.
2. The Studio Season 1
Seth Rogen’s comedy about Hollywood executives swept 13 Emmys, blending cringe humor with sharp industry satire. A must-watch for comedy fans.
1. Severance Season 2
After a three-year wait, Severance delivered a cinematic finale. Adam Scott excels as both innie and outie, and the season solidifies the show as Apple TV’s crown jewel.
Apple TV’s 2025 lineup shows that quality over quantity still wins, with strong performances, emotional depth, and creative storytelling across genres.
