# Apple TV+: An Exceptional Year with Fresh Series
Apple’s television segment is witnessing an extraordinary uptick in both popularity and critical praise this year. Following the triumph of its flagship series, **Severance**, which has been recognized as Apple TV+’s most successful title to date, the platform is now presenting three new shows, each contributing something unique. Let’s dive into these thrilling new additions.
## 1. Your Friends & Neighbors
Apple TV+ has recently launched **Your Friends & Neighbors**, a series featuring Jon Hamm, who has made the leap from being a comedic presence in Apple’s commercials to a prominent role in a captivating storyline. Regarded as a mix of **Breaking Bad** and **Big Little Lies**, the show chronicles a hedge fund manager who, after facing disgrace and a divorce, turns to stealing from his wealthy neighbors in Westmont Village.
### Series Summary:
> After being dismissed in shame, a hedge fund manager grappling with his recent separation resorts to thievery from the homes of his affluent neighbors in the extremely wealthy Westmont Village, only to realize that the secrets and scandals lurking behind those opulent façades could be far more perilous than he had ever anticipated.
The first two episodes have just debuted, and the series has already secured a renewal for a second season, signifying a robust beginning and an enthusiastic response from viewers.
## 2. The Studio
For those who lean towards a more humorous vibe, **The Studio** provides a comedic perspective on the movie industry. Co-created by and starring Seth Rogen, this series explores the tumultuous realm of filmmaking, featuring a star-studded ensemble that includes Martin Scorsese, Charlize Theron, and Olivia Wilde, among others.
### Series Summary:
> Seth Rogen plays Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of beleaguered Continental Studios. As films strive to remain alive and relevant, Matt and his team of bickering executives confront their insecurities while managing self-absorbed artists and greedy corporate overlords in the never-ending quest to create outstanding films. With their power suits concealing their relentless apprehension, every party, set visit, casting choice, marketing meeting, and awards show brings both the chance for dazzling success and the risk of career-ending disasters.
Currently, four episodes are available, with new episodes released weekly until May 21.
## 3. Dope Thief
Apple TV+ has also carved a niche for itself in the crime thriller realm, and **Dope Thief** exemplifies this trend. Starring Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura, along with executive production from Ridley Scott, this series interweaves action and humor within an engaging storyline.
### Series Summary:
> Adapted from Dennis Tafoya’s novel of the same name, the series follows lifelong Philadelphia friends and delinquents who impersonate DEA agents to rob an unmarked house in the countryside, only to find their petty scheme evolving into a life-threatening venture as they inadvertently expose and unpick the largest hidden narcotics corridor along the Eastern Seaboard.
With six episodes currently available, viewers can anticipate new drops weekly through April 25.
