From its launch in November 2019, Apple’s streaming service has always focused on quality over quantity. That may not ever result in the most impressive viewership numbers, but there’s no denying that Apple TV+ consistently puts out some of the best movies and TV shows of any service. The company looks to continue that trend in August.
Some of the highlights on Apple TV+ in August 2024 include a crime comedy film starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck, the second season of the epic international drama series Pachinko, and a reboot of the musical kids show Yo Gabba Gabba!
