Apple TV+ Bets on Sci-Fi, Spies and Star Power in July

Nicole Jeffrey

1- The Sunday Times picked 20 Apple TV+ shows worth watching in July 2026.
2- The list spans sci-fi, spy thrillers, comedy, prestige drama and big-name limited series.
3- Apple TV+ is no longer defined only by Ted Lasso and The Morning Show.

The latest

Apple TV+ has a deeper catalogue than its quieter profile suggests, The Sunday Times wrote in its July 2026 guide. The platform’s best picks range from Slow Horses and Severance to Silo, Hijack, Masters of the Air and newer titles led by major stars.

Details

Sci-fi strength: Silo, Severance and For All Mankind give Apple TV+ one of streaming’s clearest identities in dystopian and alternate-history drama.

Spy and thriller lane: Slow Horses remains one of the platform’s standout successes, with Hijack, Criminal Record and Prime Target adding more tension-driven viewing.

Comedy and satire: Ted Lasso still anchors Apple’s feelgood reputation, while The Studio and Your Friends and Neighbours sharpen its comedy-drama lineup.

Star power: The list features major names including Gary Oldman, Idris Elba, Cate Blanchett, Harrison Ford, Jason Segel, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Seth Rogen.

Coming next: The Sunday Times highlighted Lucky, arriving July 15, and Snoopy Presents: There’s No Place Like Home, Snoopy, due July 31.

Between the lines

Apple TV+ is not trying to win the streaming war through volume. Its pitch is quality control: polished production, prestige casting and shows with a clear identity rather than endless filler.

What to watch

The key test is whether new seasons of Silo, Slow Horses and The Morning Show can keep Apple’s momentum going — and whether upcoming releases like Lucky can broaden the platform’s audience beyond its best-known hits.
