There are plenty of great Apple TV series to enjoy that would make a great weekend binge. New 2025 series such as Murderbot, Dope Thief, and The Studio are always top contenders. For this specific moment, however, these are the 3 best shows to binge on Apple TV.
Shrinking
Shrinking has been one of the best feel-good comfort shows on Apple TV in recent years, perhaps the best since Ted Lasso season 3 concluded in May 2023. The Emmy-winning dramedy will return with its season 3 premiere on Wednesday, January 28, making now the perfect time to catch up or rewatch.
Shrinking follows Jason Segel’s charming but grieving therapist Jimmy, struggling to pull himself together after an insurmountable loss. Initially, Jimmy begins to tell his clients exactly how it is, forgoing professional discretion with full-blown reckless honesty. Featuring a fantastic supporting cast, including Jessica Williams and Harrison Ford, Shrinking is a can’t-miss Apple TV show this weekend.
Hijack
Hijack season 2 returned with its second season on January 14 after season 1 debuted back in 2023. Starring Idris Elba in a magnetic performance as a professional negotiator stuck in a hijacking situation, Hijack season 2 switches settings from a midair flight from Dubai to London to an off-the-rails subway train in Berlin, Germany.
The second episode of Hijack season 2 was just released on Apple TV earlier this week, with new episodes dropping each Wednesday. If you haven’t seen season 1, now is a great time to watch so you can keep up with season 2’s winter 2026 rollout. The series is perfect for fans of gripping and sophisticated action thrillers built on suspense, mystery, and tension.
Drops Of God
The biggest new release on Apple TV this week is Drops of God season 2, which returned with its masterful season 2 premiere on Wednesday, January 21. Drops of God season 1 earned a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, while season 2 has received less critical acclaim out of the gate with an RT score of 83% (based on only six reviews).
Based on a celebrated manga, Drops of God follows the estranged daughter of a wealthy man who is said to have the finest wine collection in existence. She must compete with her father’s protégé for the magnificent inheritance. For fans of a smart, stylish, and tasteful psychological drama, there’s no better show to watch this week on Apple TV than Drops of God.
