Why This Matters

Apple TV is strengthening its comedy lineup with two highly acclaimed series airing simultaneously, showcasing the platform's commitment to diverse and quality content. This strategic move not only enhances viewer engagement but also positions Apple TV as a premier destination for innovative and critically praised comedy shows, benefiting both consumers and the industry by raising standards and expectations for streaming content.

Key Takeaways

Apple TV recently debuted one of its best-reviewed series of the year in Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and now another new comedy is about to premiere that’s also highly acclaimed—with more coming.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles and Widow’s Bay offer two unique, beloved comedy series

Starting this week, Apple TV will have two top-tier new comedy series airing new episodes every Wednesday (technically Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. ET).

Margo’s Got Money Troubles premiered earlier this month to significant critical acclaim.

The series, which is based on Rufi Thorpe’s hit novel, has an impressive 96% Rotten Tomatoes score from over 50 critic reviews.

Elle Fanning stars alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, Nicole Kidman, and more. Four episodes are available now, with weekly releases continuing through May 20.

So far with 15 reviews, Widow’s Bay has a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
