Next week will be a major wrap-up week on Apple TV, with three of the platform’s series airing season finales within a span of days. While Apple TV usually staggers its show endings, from November 4 to November 6 we’ll see multiple finales close together. Here’s what’s set to end.
Show Finales Arriving Nov 4 & Nov 6
Brothers—a comedy starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson—is slated to conclude its current season on November 4. On that same date, the British comedy Small Prophets will also air its season finale; this show has drawn widespread acclaim and holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Then, on November 6, Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars, a food-focused docuseries, will wrap up its season. It’s unclear how Apple TV will proceed with new seasons for any of these three shows.
Renewals & What’s Next
Small Prophets already has a season 2 confirmed by the BBC, which originally licensed the show. While Apple’s platform carries the series, the renewal came through the BBC—not via Apple. It’s assumed Apple has the rights to future seasons, but this hasn’t been officially stated.
As for Brothers and Knife Edge, their futures are less certain. A renewal hasn’t been announced yet. Industry watchers are keeping an eye out next week, hoping Apple will make decisions on their statuses.
Other Signals for Apple TV Viewers
If you’re looking for something fresh to watch, Apple TV isn’t short on options. Nocturne, a new crime thriller starring Stephen Graham, makes its debut amidst all this ending. For those after something lighter, the comedy Stick, featuring Owen Wilson and Rhea Seehorn, returns next week.
What this means: Apple TV’s decision to finish three shows close together marks a shift from its typical scheduling approach. With Small Prophets renewed (via the BBC), we get a rare glimpse into Apple’s handling of licensed content—that is, shows it distributes but doesn’t produce. The futures of Brothers and Knife Edge hinge on whether Apple greenlights renewals. For subscribers, these finales—and the announcements that follow—could shape what the platform looks like moving forward. Keep an eye out next week for renewal updates and new episode drops.
