Apple has just quietly announced that it will be slashing the price on its Apple TV+ offering for a limited time deal.

While Apple prices the service at a standard $9.99 per month usually, it has just cut that way down to $2.99 per month.

The catch? This isn’t going to wait around. If you want to grab the deal it will be available from April 8 up until April 24.

Also, this won’t last at that price for an entire year, but rather it will run for a three month period.

If you have access to the many ways you can get hold of Apple’s three month free trial, then that would be a best first move. But if you’ve already used yours and want a way to get that last season of Severance finished, this could be an ideal option.

The deal applies to all devices that support the app and covers TV shows, movies and sports. That covers Major League Soccer from MLS Season Pass and Major League Baseball with “Friday Night Baseball” as a standout.

What’s good on Apple TV+?

Right now Apple TV+ is offering more great content than it ever has. You may have heard of some of the big names that have been causing waves and getting the awards season exciting.

These include greats like comedy Ted Lasso, global phenomenon Severance, World War 2 Spielberg and Hanks wonder Masters of The Air, favorites like Silo and Shrinking plus new buzz like The Studio and Dope Thief.

That just scratches the surface of what’s on offer that, at $2.99, represents a lot of entertainment for your money.

10 best Apple TV+ original shows, ranked

Adam Scott holds blue balloons in Severance season 2.

Since its first series launched in 2019, Apple TV+ has quietly churned out some high-quality original shows that span many genres. While it may not have the sheer volume of content as some of its streaming competitors, Apple's approach is all about quality over quantity. It has built a reputation for sleek production values and genuinely unique storytelling, resulting in critically acclaimed shows that keep viewers coming back for more.
From Severance to Ted Lasso, the streamer has proven its ability to produce one-of-a-kind series that are reaching audiences around the globe. Its growing catalog includes psychological thrillers, feel-good comedies, crime dramas, and more, with most being hits rather than misses. Apple TV+ isn't just filling a content library with haphazardly created generic shows — it's curating must-see series that continue to establish it as a reliable source of entertainment. Many other well-crafted shows — Morning Show, Dark Matter, Little America, and more — don't make this list, a testament to the platform's several offerings. For those wondering where to start, these are the best Apple TV+ originals that deserve a spot at the top of any viewer's watchlist.
10. Foundation (2021–)

An ambitious adaptation of Isaac Asimov's seminal sci-fi saga, Foundation imagines a distant future where the once mighty Galactic Empire teeters on the brink of collapse. This is further reinforced by the predictions of Hari Seldon (Jared Harris), a brilliant mathematician who develops psychohistory—a science that accurately predicts societal downfall. To prevent the inevitable dark age, Seldon established the Foundation, a group tasked with preserving knowledge and guiding humanity toward a renaissance. Meanwhile, the ruling Cleons, a line of cloned emperors (all played in different eras by Lee Pace, Terrence Mann, and Cassian Bilton), cling to power as they face new threats.
Foundation immediately draws audiences in with its immersive world, made believable by breathtaking production values. The dazzling spectacle sometimes isn't enough to distract from pacing issues, with the show's non-linear storytelling requiring patience. For those who stick around, Foundation rewards fans with an interstellar epic that offers political intrigue and bold mysteries that have helped cement its spot as one of the most promising sci-fi series streaming right now.
