Apple TV Australia 19–25 October 2026: Where’s Wanda? and Slow Horses – A new mystery for the Klatt family leads Apple TV’s Australian line-up this week, while Jackson Lamb’s latest mission reaches its season-six finale. Where’s Wanda? season two has begun, and the final episode of Slow Horses season six is now available.
For Australian viewers, this is a week of both starting points and payoffs. Where’s Wanda? is beginning a weekly run that lasts into December. Slow Horses, by contrast, has reached the end of its six-episode season. New instalments of Brothers, Small Prophets, Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars and Dark Matter round out the current Apple TV selection.
The six titles span comedy, espionage, science fiction and food. The dates below refer to Australian Apple TV availability; a subscription is required to watch the service’s programmes.

Where’s Wanda? season two opens another Klatt family mystery
After the family endured the ordeal of finding Wanda, the second season starts with a fresh crisis. Wanda, played by Lea Drinda, is apparently caught standing over a dead body. Her parents, Carlotta and Dedo Klatt, must show she is innocent before their family is pulled apart again. Their search for the real killer takes them beneath the calm surface of their suburban town.
Heike Makatsch and Axel Stein return as the parents whose determination previously made them unlikely investigators. The premise shifts the series from a missing-person search into a murder mystery, but keeps the family at the centre. The question is no longer simply where Wanda is. It is whether the Klatts can establish what happened before suspicion closes in on her.
Apple TV released the season-two opener on Wednesday, 21 October. It will add one episode each Wednesday through 9 December. That makes this the clearest new-series entry point in the week’s line-up, although the first season gives context for the family’s earlier ordeal.
The German-language dark comedy comes from UFA Fiction, a Fremantle company. Oliver Lansley created, wrote and executive produced the series with executive producers Nataly Kudiabor and Oliver Ossege. It was co-created from a story by Zoltan Spirandelli, while Tobi Baumann and Christian Ditter direct. The combination of family drama, dark humour and crime investigation remains the show’s defining mix.

Slow Horses season six reaches Judgement Day
The week’s other headline moment is the sixth and final episode of Slow Horses season six. “Judgement Day” turns a place of refuge into a threat: the safe house becomes unsafe, forcing Jackson Lamb and Diana Taverner to join forces. It closes a six-part story in which Taverner draws the Slough House team into a dangerous cycle of retaliation and revenge.
Gary Oldman plays Lamb, the abrasive leader of MI5’s misfit agents. The series follows intelligence officers sent to Slough House after career-damaging mistakes. Although the assignment is supposed to be a professional dead end, they repeatedly find themselves at the centre of high-stakes operations. That contrast between their reputation and their actual work drives both the suspense and the dark humour.
Kristin Scott Thomas plays Taverner, with Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards and Rosalind Eleazar among the returning ensemble. The season also features Joanna Scanlan, Samuel West, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, Jonathan Pryce and Hugo Weaving, with Lenny Rush joining the cast.
All six episodes of season six are now available on Apple TV. Viewers who have been following week by week can go straight to the finale. Anyone catching up can instead watch the complete season without waiting for another release; that is the practical difference between this title and Where’s Wanda?, whose new season has only just begun.
Small Prophets episode four: Michael’s garden experiment continues
Small Prophets is the week’s offbeat comedy option. Its central character, Michael Sleep, has lived a quiet and rather stalled life since his partner Clea vanished seven years ago. He works in a DIY store, visits his father Brian and continues to hope for Clea’s return. Brian then passes on a strange recipe involving rainwater, horse manure and alchemy.
Michael tries to create homunculi: magical spirits said to predict the future. He hopes they can tell him whether he will ever see Clea again. The task gives him an unexpected ally in younger coworker Kacey. Their friendship develops as they navigate both the experiment and their frustration with store manager Gordon. Nosy neighbours, meanwhile, are increasingly curious about what Michael is doing in his shed.
This week’s fourth episode, “The Birds of America”, turns a delivery of horse manure into a fresh problem for Clive. Kacey also helps Michael bury the jars needed for his work. The details underline the show’s odd balance: a story about grief and hope is told through domestic comedy, eccentric neighbours and a genuinely unusual experiment.
Pearce Quigley plays Michael, Sir Michael Palin is Brian, Lauren Patel is Kacey and Mackenzie Crook plays Gordon. Sophie Willan, Jon Pointing and Paul Kaye also appear. Episode four is now streaming, and Apple TV will continue releasing new episodes on Wednesdays through 4 November.
Brothers puts Matthew and Woody on school-dance duty
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson play fictionalised versions of themselves in the eight-episode comedy Brothers. The set-up turns their real-life friendship into a family question: after a secret surfaces, the two men wonder whether they might actually be siblings.
The discovery begins after Woody’s daughter’s wedding falls apart. He brings his family to Matthew’s ranch in Austin for an extended stay, hoping the change of scene will help. Instead, Matthew’s mother Ma Mac accidentally exposes the long-buried possibility of a family connection. Woody becomes determined to find the truth, while Matthew also contends with a possible run for Texas governor.
In the new episode, “The Dance”, Wyatt asks Kai to a school dance. Matthew and Woody try to keep their composure while serving as chaperones. The smaller school event gives the two leads another situation in which their friendship, family responsibilities and competitive energy can collide.
Holland Taylor plays Ma Mac. Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan and Oona Yaffe are also in the ensemble. Episode six is now streaming on Apple TV. New episodes arrive each Wednesday through 4 November, when the eight-episode run concludes.
Knife Edge follows restaurants taking Michelin risks
For food-documentary viewers, season two of Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars follows 16 restaurants at consequential moments. Their ambitions are varied: one chef and family are trying to bring Michelin attention to a small island, a sandwich shop becomes a fine-dining restaurant at night, and a young couple wants to put Filipino cooking on the map in a fiercely competitive American dining scene.
Some participants are not simply chasing their first Star. Two chefs voluntarily surrender an existing Michelin Star when they open a new restaurant, then have only 52 days to win the recognition back. Elsewhere, different generations of a culinary family pursue acclaim on their own terms. The common thread is uncertainty: hard work does not guarantee how the Michelin Guide will judge a restaurant.
Episode six arrives on Friday, 23 October. In Stockholm, a duo gives up its Star to build a new restaurant. Farther north, a chef seeks new flavours in Lapland. Those two stories put the season’s bigger theme in focus: chefs may have to risk a reputation they have already earned to pursue the restaurant they actually want to run.
Food and travel presenter Jesse Burgess hosts the eight-part series. Gordon Ramsay and Studio Ramsay Global executive produce it. Apple TV will release the remaining episodes on Fridays through 6 November, giving viewers another instalment each week after this Stockholm and Lapland chapter.
Dark Matter season two approaches its finale
Science-fiction drama Dark Matter is nearly at the end of its second season. Its ninth episode, “How to Build the Box”, premieres on Friday, 23 October. Apple says a shocking arrival pushes Laurel towards a new purpose. The instalment leaves only one more episode in the season, scheduled for Friday, 30 October.
The series adapts Blake Crouch’s novel about paths not taken. In its first season, physicist Jason Dessen was abducted into an alternate version of his life and had to navigate different realities to find his way home. Season two begins with the Dessen family apparently safe again, but that stability proves fragile. Jason’s growing fixation on the Box threatens to draw him back into danger.
Joel Edgerton plays Jason and Jennifer Connelly plays Daniela, whose mounting concern adds pressure within the family. Amanda, played by Alice Braga, and Ryan, played by Jimmi Simpson, are trying to find their own way home. Blair, played by Amanda Brugel, is determined to stop Ryan, while Leighton, played by Dayo Okeniyi, continues to pursue his vision of an ideal world. Oakes Fegley also stars.
That makes this week’s episode an important lead-in rather than a standalone premiere. Viewers starting from the beginning have both seasons to explore; those following the second season weekly have the penultimate chapter now and the finale one week later.
What’s next on Apple TV?
Looking beyond this week’s releases, crime drama Nocturne is due to begin on Friday, 30 October with two episodes. Liev Schreiber stars as a former soldier turned homicide detective facing a serial killer played by Stephen Graham. The same Friday brings the Dark Matter season-two finale. Later, Stick returns for season two on Wednesday, 4 November, with Owen Wilson back as golfer Pryce Cahill.
