Welcome to Prime Video, Apple TV Plus
Later this month, two of the best streaming services will be coming together when Apple TV Plus joins Prime Video in the US as an add-on subscription for $9.99 per month. Similar to other streaming bundle options like Hulu and Max, Prime Video users will be able to purchase the subscription add-on through the app to unlock access to Apple TV Plus’ broad assortment of titles.
To get you ready for your Apple TV Plus era, I have seven recommendations – all with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. I’ve picked out four of the best Apple TV Plus shows for those who love to binge, and three of the best Apple TV Plus movies for fellow movie buffs like myself – which includes two A24 productions. I’ve done my best to highlight the best titles from all genres, gathering shows and movies from comedy, drama, romance, and even horror – I mean, it’s spooky season after all.
But it’s not just the excitement of the new Apple TV Plus add on that makes this a great time to be Prime Video subscriber as there’s a line-up of fresh titles new on Prime Video in October 2024. This includes the best horror movies, which I’ll be making my way through in my countdown to Halloween 2024. Ted Lasso
