Apple TV lands critically acclaimed drama series “Small Prophets”
Apple TV has acquired the global streaming rights for hit British comedy-drama series "Small Prophets," and it will be available for watching October 7 onwards.
Apple TV has acquired the worldwide streaming rights for the critically acclaimed British comedy-drama series "Small Prophets." The series, created, written, and directed by Mackenzie Crook, premiered on BBC iPlayer and BBC TV earlier this year. "Small Prophets" has garnered a 100% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is exceptionally rare for an entertainment property.
The series follows Michael Sleep, played by Pearce Quigley, as he explores alchemical science and the mythical homunculus concept to uncover the secrets behind his partner's disappearance. Notable cast members include Michael Palin, Lauren Patel, Sophie Willan, and Jon Pointing. The acquisition of "Small Prophets" is surprising for Apple TV, as the streamer typically focuses on science fiction, deep mythology-inspired lore, and book adaptations.
Despite the increase in subscription price to $14.99 per month, "Small Prophets" joins a growing list of critically-acclaimed films and TV shows on Apple TV that have received widespread praise from critics.
