Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Give me a lighthearted recap
Apple TV has just blessed us with its 2026 slate — at least for the first half of the year — and it looks like we'll be watching every minute of the day going by the boatload of prestige TV they just dropped, as the streamer plans to roll out new originals nearly every single week, mixing prestige drama, buzzy thrillers, returning fan favorites and limited series with big stars dipping their toes in the episodic water.
The big headline, of course, is the return of Ted Lasso for Season 4, but that’s just one piece of a lineup that also includes fresh seasons of Shrinking, For All Mankind, Sugar, and more. Add in new shows led by Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, Amy Adams, Javier Bardem, and Anya Taylor-Joy, and Apple is clearly aiming for a “prestige TV every month” vibe. The full year's breakdown of today's announced series can be found below.
Apple TV's 2026 Series Release Schedule
Ted Lasso is back — but with a twist. Season 4 sees Ted coaching a second-division women’s football team, which feels like exactly the kind of heart-forward, underdog energy the show thrives on. And of course, it's Apple, the home of prestige science fiction, which can only mean one thing: sci-fi fans are eating well. For All Mankind keeps pushing deeper into space in Season 5, while Monarch: Legacy of Monsters expands the MonsterVerse with more Titan chaos. For the crime enthusiasts, prestige thrillers are everywhere. Imperfect Women (Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington), Cape Fear (Amy Adams, Javier Bardem), and Criminal Record Season 2 all lean into darker, character-driven mysteries.
And of course, don't forget about the giggles too, because between Shrinking, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and the very chaotic-sounding Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Apple is still delivering the laughs as regularly as the dystopia.
