HBO's Youth Premieres September 20; Apple TV Lands Season 1 of Small Prophets
The HBO Original comedy series Youth, created by and starring Sharon Horgan, will premiere with the first two episodes Sunday, September 20 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. New episodes of the 8-episode season will debut weekly on Sundays at the same time, concluding with the season finale on Sunday, November 1.
Youth follows a 50-year-old divorcee’s search for sex and love whilst juggling caring for her ailing parents and parenting her should-be grown up son. Cast: Sharon Horgan (Alex), Rupert Friend (Patrick), Sharlene Whyte (Sam), Aran Murphy (Ruari), and Robbie Gee (Frank).
Apple TV announced it has landed season one of Small Prophets, the acclaimed six-episode comedy from BAFTA Award-winning creator, writer and director Mackenzie Crook (Detectorists) which premiered on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two in the U.K. earlier this year. The series will premiere on Apple TV on October 7, 2026, excluding the U.K., where it will be available to Apple TV subscribers in 2027.
The series features a host of beloved comedy stars including Mackenzie Crook, Pearce Quigley (Detectorists), Lauren Patel (Waterloo Road), BAFTA Award winner Sir Michael Palin (Monty Python), BAFTA Award winner Sophie Willan (Alma's Not Normal), BAFTA Award nominee Jon Pointing (Big Boys) and SAG Award nominee Paul Kaye (Game of Thrones).
The series is a comic tale of the eccentric Michael Sleep (Quigley) who, since his darling Clea disappeared seven years ago, has lived a very ordinary life. He works in a DIY store, visits his dad Brian (Palin) and hopes for Clea to return. One day Brian shares an old recipe involving rainwater, horse manure and more than a little alchemy. With recipe in hand, Michael sets out (albeit with some skepticism) to create homunculi - magical spirits that can predict the future - in the hope they have the answer to his burning question: "Will I ever see Clea again?"
Michael gets help from his young coworker Kacey (Patel), an unlikely friendship that blossoms partly, but not wholly, through their mutual dislike of store manager Gordon (Mackenzie Crook). Their friendship adds to the frustration and intrigue of his nosy neighbors (Willan, Pointing) who are obsessed with trying to find out what the hell is going on in the garden shed.
