David Farnor | On 01, May 2023
Apple TV+ is returning to Prehistoric Planet this May, but it’s mainly a month of new debuts, from dystopian thriller Silo to a new drama from the creator of The OC and a comedy from Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne.
Here’s what’s coming soon to Apple TV+ UK in May 2023:
Harriet the Spy: Season 2 – 5th May
Outspoken and perpetually curious. That’s 11-year-old Harriet in a nutshell. But if she’s going to be Harriet M. Welsch, future writer, she’ll need to know everything. And to know everything means she’ll need to spy… on everyone. The second season of Apple’s family animation arrives all at once.
Silo: Season 1 – 5th May
The 10-episode drama from Graham Yost (Band of Brother) is based on Hugh Howey’s bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels. It tells the story of the last 10,000 people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one’s murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don’t kill you, the truth will. Starring Rebecca Ferguson, Harriet Walter and David Oyelowo. Episodes 1 and 2 arrive together, followed by new episodes weekly.
Still: A Michael J Fox Movie – 12th May
The film, which incorporates documentary, archival and scripted elements, recounts Fox’s extraordinary story in his own words — the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose to the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood.
City on Fire: Season 1 – 12th May
From Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, based on the novel by Garth Risk Hallberg, this eight-part drama follows the investigation into the shooting of an NYU student in Central Park on the Fourth of July, 2003. Samantha is alone; there are no witnesses and very little physical evidence. Her friends’ band is playing at her favorite downtown club but she leaves to meet someone, promising to return. She never does. As the crime against Samantha is investigated, she’s revealed to be the crucial connection between a series of mysterious citywide fires, the downtown music scene, and a wealthy uptown real estate family fraying under the strain of the many secrets they keep. Episodes 1 to 3 arrive together, followed by new episodes weekly.
High Desert: Season 1 – 17th May
This eight-part drama follows Peggy (Patricia Arquette), an on-again-off-again addict who decides to make a new start after the death of her beloved mother, with whom she lived in the small desert town of Yucca Valley, California, and makes a life-changing decision to become a private investigator. Episodes 1 to 3 arrive together, followed by new episodes weekly.
Prehistoric Planet: Season 2 – 22nd May
Narrated by David Attenborough, this jaw-dropping series combines award-winning wildlife filmmaking, the latest paleontology learnings and state-of-the-art technology to unveil the spectacular habitats and inhabitants of ancient Earth for a show featuring little-known and surprising facts of dinosaur life set against the backdrop of the environments of Cretaceous times. The five episodes arrive daily through the week.
Platonic: Season 1 – 24th May
This 10-episode comedy follows a platonic pair of former best friends approaching midlife (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) who reconnect after a long rift. The duo’s friendship becomes all consuming—and destabilises their lives in a hilarious way. The first three episodes arrive together, followed by new episodes weekly.
