But given the 12-month Apple TV Plus free trial has lapsed and many customers are now paying full whack, a subscription might not seem so compelling and you may therefore be looking to cancel Apple TV Plus.

Wait! Before you cancel Apple TV Plus, here’s everything you could watchThe Morning Show and Ted Lasso are the platform’s flagship series and two of the best Apple TV Plus shows, having bagged dozens of awards between them. The former is a drama about the cut-throat world of TV broadcasting starring Jennifer Anniston and Reece Witherspoon (season three arrives later this year), while Ted Lasso won the 2021 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, in addition to the hearts of viewers around the world.

Night Shyamalan and whose final season is due to arrive soon.
