The first two episodes of “Small Prophets” are now available to stream on Apple TV, following a wave of glowing reviews for the British comedy series. Watch the trailer below.
Earlier today, my colleague Ryan covered the raving reviews for “Small Prophets,” a British comedy series Apple TV acquired for international distribution earlier this year.
The move marked a first for Apple TV, as the streamer had never previously acquired an existing English-language series that had already aired elsewhere.
“Small Prophets” premiered on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two in the U.K. earlier this year, before Apple picked it up for international distribution in August.
It is now available to Apple TV subscribers globally, except in the U.K., where it will arrive on the service in 2027.
“Small Prophets” was created, written, and directed by Mackenzie Crook (Detectorists), who also stars alongside Pearce Quigley (The Way Back), Lauren Patel (The Effects of Lying), Sir Michael Palin (Monty Python), Sophie Willan (Ludwig), Jon Pointing (Big Boys), and Paul Kaye (Game of Thrones), among others.
Following the two-episode premiere, the show will run every Wednesday through November 4.
“Small Prophets” is a comic tale of the eccentric Michael Sleep (Pearce Quigley) who, since his darling Clea disappeared seven years ago, has lived a very ordinary life. He works in a DIY store, visits his dad Brian (Sir Michael Palin) and hopes for Clea to return.
