Apple TV is on a roll. The streamer is now undeniably the premier destination for sci-fi fans seeking engaging, well-crafted thrillers. With heavy hitters like Silo, Severance, and Pluribus, Apple TV is delivering every year. However, production for these shows can take a long time, sometimes years between seasons, and one of the major ways to bridge the delays is by having a consistent output of new shows. That also covers the gap left by those that are ending, like For All Mankind and Silo.

Back in 2022, Fire Country was the hottest new show on television. The CBS drama was an immediate hit, averaging eight million live weekly viewers. That number got even bigger when streaming across Paramount's services was factored in, pushing it past the 10 million mark. The Max Thieriot-led drama was a no-brainer for renewal, consistently securing one with each new season. However, the show has seen a natural decline in viewership over the years, with Season 4 delivering a sharp drop. CBS puts viewership at approximately 6 million.

Movies about the two World Wars forever remain in fashion. The sheer scale of destruction, sacrifice, and loss makes for a great spectacle, with films like All Quiet on the Western Front and Dunkirk offering a visceral portrait of the wars. While WWII is more "popular" than its predecessor, which leads to more movies and TV shows, some creators also tackle the complicated events of WWI. At this point, it seems like there is nothing more to say, but Lukas Dohnt has another angle to explore.
