Is the Apple TV Series Renewed or Canceled?

Small Prophets is now streaming on Apple TV, and viewers may already be wondering if the new series will be back for another season.

The six-episode British comedy from Mackenzie Crook premiered on Apple TV in the U.S. on Wednesday (October 7) after previously airing on BBC Two in the U.K.

The first two episodes are available now, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday through November 4.

The series stars Pearce Quigley as Michael Sleep, a man whose life has been on hold since his girlfriend Clea disappeared seven years earlier.

After Michael’s father Brian, played by Michael Palin, gives him an unusual recipe involving alchemy, Michael tries to create magical spirits that may be able to answer questions about Clea’s disappearance.

Mackenzie Crook, Lauren Patel, Sophie Willan, Jon Pointing and Paul Kaye also star.

Is Small Prophets renewed for Season 2?

Yes! Small Prophets has already been renewed for Season 2.

The BBC announced in September that the series will return for another six episodes. The second season will also move from BBC Two to BBC One in the U.K.

Mackenzie will return to write and direct the new season.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to tell the second half of this strange story and as intrigued as anyone else to find out what happens to Michael Sleep in his mystical quest,” he said while announcing the renewal.

The BBC said the first season reached up to 9.2 million viewers.

Season 2 is expected to debut in 2027, though an exact premiere date has not yet been announced.
