Apple TV is offering a huge 50% Black Friday deal to new subscribers. If you want it, be quick as it expires on December 1.

Unfortunately, this discount does not apply to existing customers, so you can only take advantage of the offer if you've never had Apple TV before.

This deal is aimed at those wanting to try out Apple TV for the first time. Considering it's priced at just $5.99 / £9.99 down from $12.99 / £4.99, you really shouldn't miss this opportunity.

If you only watch one thing, though, make sure it's Pluribus. The new Vince Gilligan series has a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score, and in my interview, he explained how fans can expect to see ‘all the horror movie tropes’ in the pilot episode.

Apple has rolled out the best streaming service Black Friday deals – you can get Apple TV (formerly Apple TV+) for just $5.99 a month for six months. Considering it's regularly $12.99 a month, that's over 50% off and gives you instant access to a wide library of original shows and movies like Severance, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and later in December, F1 The Movie.

Best of all, new and select returning subscribers are eligible.

If you're in the UK, fear not, as Apple is matching the deal here as well. For Black Friday, you can get Apple TV for £4.99/mo for six months. And yes, that's still an excellent 50% off discount to access a massive library of TV shows and movies.

Why I'm focusing on Apple TV this month

Pluribus is in full swing right now. We're five episodes in at the time of writing, and this great Apple TV deal means you'll be able to watch all the way up to the season finale on this reduced monthly cost.

There's so much to enjoy on Apple TV, of course, but Pluribus has been a real standout for me. When I spoke to star Rhea Seehorn, she said of the series: "It's bananas, it's bonkers".

That's definitely one way to sum up this unique sci-fi show, which follows Seehorn's character Carol as she finds herself immune to a strange virus that has turned the rest of humanity into a single, compulsively happy hive mind. As she fights to change the world back, she finds it's more difficult than she realized.

It's different from Gilligan's other work and proves he's got some fresh ideas. As much as I adore the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul universe, it's also fun to see where else he can take us.

Pluribus is so unique that it's hard to know where the season finale will end up. But we do know that it's been renewed for season 2, so if you choose to keep your subscription beyond the six months, you know there are more episodes coming.
