BBC's critically-acclaimed comedy series Small Prophets has been acquired by Apple TV in a rare UK comedy deal. This acquisition marks the first time Apple TV has purchased an existing library of programs, typically only acquiring individual titles like its Oscar-winning CODA. The series, starring Pearce Quigley as a man on a quest for his missing partner, will be shown worldwide on Apple TV first, despite being a hit in the UK.
This move highlights Apple TV's growing interest in acquiring whole series rather than just standalone titles.
