Apple TV to Stream BBC Comedy 'Small Prophets' Globally

Apple TV has acquired the worldwide rights to the critically acclaimed British comedy series "Small Prophets," bringing the BBC hit to its global streaming platform. The six-part series, created, written, and directed by BAFTA Award winner Mackenzie Crook, will premiere on Apple TV on October 7, 2026, for all regions except the United Kingdom, where it will become available to subscribers in 2027. The acquisition marks a significant move for Apple TV, securing a show that has already proven successful in its home market. "Small Prophets" debuted on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer earlier in 2026, delivering the channels' strongest 28-day comedy launch ratings since 2022.
