Apple TV+ Drops So Many Trailers, Fans Start Questioning Their Free Trial Subscription
At the latest Apple TV Press Day, the tech giant unveiled what can only be described as a full-scale assault on your free time. Apple TV+*, in a move that shocked absolutely no one, revealed premiere dates, teasers, and trailers for its streaming service like it’s casually handing out candy on Halloween. Except this candy costs $9.99 a month, and you’ll probably binge it in two days.
Emmy Award-nominated comedy Shrinking returns for its third season, starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in what appears to be an experiment to see how many awards two beloved actors can collect before the audience realizes they’re watching therapy sessions disguised as entertainment. The series follows a grieving therapist who decides professional boundaries are overrated and starts telling his patients exactly what he thinks. Because apparently, in Hollywood, the path to healing involves brutal honesty and zero consequences. This week’s episode features the group rallying around a friend dealing with a health setback, while others make meaningful progress and face difficult personal choices—which is TV-speak for “someone’s definitely going to cry, and we’ll probably see Harrison Ford yell at someone.”
In addition to its television onslaught, Apple is teaming up with A24 on Eternity, an Apple Original romantic comedy that sounds like it was pitched during a particularly existential happy hour. Elizabeth Olsen stars as Joan, a woman who dies and arrives in the afterlife only to discover she has one week to choose who she’ll spend eternity with. The catch? She loved two people in her life—one who died young and waited decades for her arrival, and another she spent her actual life with. Talk about pressure. Eternity has already earned a Certified Fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes, which is impressive considering it doesn’t even premiere until February 13, 2026. Either the critics got an early peek, or Apple has discovered time travel.
