Apple TV+ is entering July with a blend of sci-fi wonder, the splendor of nature, and sun-drenched comedy. Whether you’re drawn to vast cosmic adventures or simply seeking a delightful binge set in a stunning Mexican resort, the streamer’s offerings are sure to impress.
Foundation, The Wild Ones, and Acapulco are the three standout Apple TV+ series premiering in July, each making a compelling argument for why the iPhone creator’s platform should be on your summer viewing list. Below, an overview of each new show.
Foundation: Season 3 (launches July 11)
The grand tale based on Isaac Asimov’s seminal novels makes its return, with escalated stakes and profound philosophical dilemmas. Foundation has consistently been one of Apple TV+’s most daring series, functioning as both a prestigious drama and a visual spectacle. Season 3 resumes 152 years after the conclusion of the previous season, with the Foundation having evolved significantly beyond its founding principles, while the once-dominant Cleonic Empire hangs by a thread. At the same time, a warlord known as The Mule threatens to dominate the galaxy through sheer force and psychic influence.
Apple’s acclaimed series, produced by Skydance Television and directed by Batman Begins writer David S. Goyer, continues to expand its universe with new characters portrayed by Cherry Jones, Pilou Asbæk, Troy Kotsur, and others. Anticipate more breathtaking planetary vistas in the forthcoming season, along with temporal shifts and clashes between science and belief.
This nature documentary series will transport audiences around the globe as it captures rare and endangered wildlife in stunning footage.
From the rainforests of Malaysia to the Mongolian deserts, the team responsible for The Wild Ones employs over 350 custom-designed cameras to record close encounters with animals such as the Javan rhino, Malayan tiger, Gobi bear, Caucasian leopard, and North Atlantic right whale. In one moment, a bear traverses moonlit dunes; in another, a whale rescue occurs live.
“The series highlights the dangers facing these endangered species and illustrates how each is intricately linked to the broader ecosystem in which it exists, while raising awareness and backing scientific initiatives and long-term conservation efforts aimed at their survival,” Apple shares about the series.
Acapulco: Season 4 (premieres July 23)
At last, one of the most delightful and overlooked Apple TV+ treasures returns for its fourth and final season. The bilingual Acapulco intertwines heart and humor as it follows the coming-of-age adventures of Maximo Gallardo, a young pool boy-turned-hotel tycoon.
