Apple TV+’s entire library will be available to stream during the free weekend. One of the most anticipated shows of 2025 is Severance, the sci-fi thriller about a group of employees who choose to separate their work memories from their personal ones. Severance received critical acclaim upon its debut in February 2022 and garnered 14 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. With season 2 premiering in January, you’ll have time to catch up on season 1 during the free weekend.

While Apple TV+ is best known for its TV shows, the streamer’s library of original movies continues to expand. 2024 saw the releases of Argylle, Fly Me to the Moon, The Instigators, Wolfs, and Blitz. With Oscar season approaching, it’s noteworthy that Apple TV+ became the first streaming service to win Best Picture with 2021’s CODA, a heartfelt coming-of-age drama about a child of deaf adults (CODA) who aspires to become a singer.

Should users choose to continue using Apple TV+ after the free weekend, the monthly price is $10.

What’s new on Apple TV+ this month (January 2025)
The cast of Severance stands together and looks up.

Apple TV+ is the rare streaming service that almost exclusively produces original content, meaning its release slate tends to be pretty thin every month. However, lack of quantity by no means leads to lack of quality, as Apple TV+ has delivered a host of Emmy- and Oscar-winning shows and movies, often headlined by A-list talent.

This January, perhaps its best offering returns for its second season. Severance has a decent case for the best show on TV these days, and expectations are sky-high for the second season. Not to be outdone, Rob McElhenney's (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) gamer comedy Mythic Quest also returns for its fourth season on the streamer.
