Apple TV's 2024 World War II drama Masters of the Air, produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, has re-emerged as a streaming success two years after its finale, currently sitting in the global top 10 in more than five countries. The nine-part series is part of a strong run for Apple TV in 2026, which also includes a record-breaking fourth season of Ted Lasso, a third season of Silo, and a returning Dark Matter, reinforcing the platform's reputation for strong value among streaming services.

Masters of the Air marked Apple TV's first foray into World War II television, reuniting Hanks and Spielberg after their earlier collaboration on Saving Private Ryan. The show stars Austin Butler, Barry Keoghan and Callum Turner, the latter now considered a leading contender to play the next James Bond, and follows a mix of prestige drama and sci-fi output that has typically dominated the platform's slate.
