4 new Apple TV Plus shows I’m excited to watch in January 2025
It is not without reason that Apple TV Plus was crowned our streaming service of the year 2024. The streamer consistently delivers high-quality content month after month. Before January 2025, there are four standout TV shows we’re excited to see. New seasons of three already popular titles and a new mystery thriller that has all the makings of a binge-worthy box set.
As one of the best streaming services, we have high hopes for Apple TV Plus in 2025. Fortunately, it looks like it will continue to shine by offering a wide range of genres, perfect for cozy evenings during the cold winter season. These four highlights are just a glimpse of what’s coming up on our watchlist.
With January release dates to mark your calendars, there’s plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can check out the best Apple TV Plus movies and the best Apple TV Plus TV shows already available.
Severance season 2
- Age classification: TV-MA
- Creator: Then Erikson
- Arrival on: January 17, 2025
It’s widely considered one of the best science fiction TV shows in recent years and fans will be happy to hear that Disconnection season 2 is finally here. Arriving on January 17, 2025, the new season promises to pick up where it left off: with one unforgettable cliffhanger.
The series follows Mark Scout (played by Adam Scott), who leads a team at the mysterious company Lumon Industries. Employees in Mark’s department undergo a procedure called “severance pay,” in which their memories are divided between their personal lives and their work lives, ostensibly to create the perfect work-life balance.
But, as you might expect, tampering with the human mind on such a scale has mind-boggling consequences. Honestly, the less we reveal, the better. This show is a mind-boggling, mysterious and exciting experience with a great cast and a truly unique premise.
Great goal
- Age classification: PG-13
- Creator: Steve Thompson
- Arrival on: January 22, 2025
Great goal is a brand new title from Apple. It follows the story of Edward Brooks (played by Leo Woodall, who you may recognize The White Lotus And One day), a bright young math postgraduate on the brink of a new discovery. His research into the patterns of prime numbers has the potential to unlock a key that could control any computer system in the world. But as he gets closer, he discovers that someone is determined to thwart his idea.
Enter Taylah Sanders (played by Quintessa Swindell). She is an NSA agent who becomes an unlikely ally for Edward as they work together to uncover a conspiracy at the center of his investigation. We expect this show to be a crime-meets-mystery-meets-thriller with some twists and turns.
Eva the Owl season 2
- Age classification: TV-Y
- Creator: Annabeth Bondor-Stone and Connor White
- Arrival on: January 24, 2025
If you’re looking for a kid-friendly new addition to your Apple TV Plus library, all you have to do is wait until January 24, 2025, when a new season of the animated series Eva the Owlet hits the platform.
Eva the Owl follows Eva, a spirited young owl who loves adventure. She lives in the forest world of Treetopington and is always coming up with big ideas and sharing them with her best friend Lucy, who lives right next door. It’s fun, cute, and easy to watch with kids if you’ve already watched all the other new shows on this list.
Mythical quest season 4
- Age classification: TV-MA
- Creator: Charlie Day, Megan Ganz and Rob McElhenney
- Arrival on: January 29, 2025
For those who haven’t seen the first three seasons: Mythical quest takes viewers behind the scenes of a fictional video game studio, where a quirky team works to maintain the world’s most popular multiplayer game of the same name.
Led by visionary, but often selfish, creative director Ian Grimm (played by Rob McElhenney of It’s always sunny in Philadelphia fame), the team must navigate the chaos of office politics, creative clashes and the high tension of the gaming industry. It’s a must watch if you love comedy shows, are already a fan of Rob McElhenney or are just interested in the gaming industry. The highly anticipated fourth season is the last major show to hit Apple TV Plus in January 2025 and air on the streamer on the 29th.
