What’s coming to Apple TV in August 2026 — Apple TV has outlined its currently announced August 2026 slate, with returning favourites, international drama, sport documentary, family animation and science fiction all on the monthly schedule.
The headline title is Ted Lasso season four, which brings Jason Sudeikis back to Richmond on Wednesday, 5 August. The new season shifts Ted into a fresh challenge as he coaches a second division women’s football team.
For Australian Apple TV viewers, August is built around established titles rather than volume alone. The month gives the service a clear mix of comfort viewing, premium drama and genre television, with Dark Matter closing the slate on Friday, 28 August.

Ted Lasso Season Four
Ted Lasso season four premieres Wednesday, 5 August. Ted returns to Richmond, but his next job is not a simple repeat of the past.
This time, Ted takes on a second division women’s football team. Apple says the season follows Ted and the team as they learn to take chances they never thought they would.
Jason Sudeikis returns as star and executive producer. The returning cast also includes Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift.
New cast members include Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely.
Women In Blue Season Two
Women in Blue, also known as Las Azules, returns for season two on Wednesday, 12 August.
The Spanish-language drama follows María, played by Bárbara Mori, after she is promoted to lieutenant. The new season puts her between the rules she has sworn to uphold and her drive to uncover the truth.
The case begins with the body of a student activist. It soon pulls the Azules into an investigation connected to the student massacre of 1968.
Natalia Téllez, Amorita Rasgado and Ximena Sariñana also return. The new season asks what justice costs inside a corrupt system.
The Dynasty: UConn Huskies
The Dynasty: UConn Huskies premieres Friday, 21 August. The documentary series goes inside one of the most dominant programs in college basketball history.
The series follows Geno Auriemma and the culture that helped UConn build a championship dynasty. It also features voices from across the program’s history.
Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi, Paige Bueckers and others discuss what it takes to survive the UConn system and help build a winning era.
For sport documentary viewers, this is the month’s clearest unscripted highlight.
Stillwater Season Five
Stillwater season five also arrives on Friday, 21 August.
The kids and family series follows siblings Karl, Addy and Michael. Their neighbour is Stillwater, a wise panda whose friendship and stories help them see themselves and the world differently.
The series gives Apple TV another family-friendly entry in a month otherwise led by comedy, drama, sport and sci-fi.
Dark Matter Season Two
Dark Matter season two premieres Friday, 28 August.
The series stars Joel Edgerton as Jason Dessen, a physicist and family man who was abducted into an alternate version of his life in season one.
Season two picks up with the Dessens trying to settle into a quiet life in a world that finally seems safe. That stability does not last.
Jennifer Connelly returns as Daniela. Alice Braga, Jimmi Simpson, Amanda Brugel and Dayo Okeniyi also feature as the story expands around the Box and the search for a way home.
What To Watch First
For most viewers, Ted Lasso is the obvious first stop. It is the biggest brand in the August slate and arrives early in the month.
Drama viewers should move next to Women in Blue. The season two premise gives the show a darker and more politically charged investigation.
Sport fans have The Dynasty: UConn Huskies, while genre viewers can wait for Dark Matter to close the month. Families also have a reliable option with Stillwater.
