Apple TV+ Pioneers a New Era of Rapid Season Production

This article offers an overview of the upcoming production phases of a popular series on Apple TV+, highlighting its efficient scheduling and impressive turnaround for forthcoming seasons.

Even though the upcoming installment for this series is set to premiere in September, the following season is already finished and another is set to begin filming in the fall. The pace and precision in which this show is produced could unsettle creators of other major series that require years to develop just one season. While these projects differ greatly in style and scope, their production timelines are not nearly as swift as the process seen here, and the latest updates only reinforce that distinction.

The fifth season is confirmed to debut on Apple TV+ this September, and due to long-standing greenlighting and the tradition of closing each season with a hint at what’s next, the completion of the sixth season was nearly a foregone conclusion. Recent news confirms that the upcoming season is ready for release, with the subsequent season following shortly after.

It has been reported that filming for what will be the seventh season will commence this autumn, likely between late September and early October, "with every stage of production taking place entirely within the United" Kingdom. As a result, the release of the sixth season—expected in autumn 2026—will be accompanied by promotional material hinting at the following season, which is projected to be unveiled in 2027.

Looking ahead, there remains an open question about whether an eighth season will be prepared for release in 2028.
