The 8 Best Apple TV Thrillers You Can Stream Right Now

Severance

Initially released in 2022, Severance continues to keep audiences in a chokehold. The show feels like a commentary on work-life balance in 2025, albeit a super dark one. It centers on office employees whose memories are actually surgically divided to compartmentalize their work and personal lives. Starring Adam Scott, Severance will leave you questioning the demands of corporate life and their impact on your identity.

Disclaimer

Cate Blanchett stars as Catherine Ravenscroft in Disclaimer, a thriller built around irony. The character is a journalist who has spent her entire career exposing the "transgressions" of others. Nonetheless, she suddenly receives a novel from an unknown author that threatens to reveal her own darkest secrets. Disclaimer is a limited series with seven episodes.

The Shrink Next Door

The Shrink Next Door debuted in 2021 and has a stacked cast, including Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Kathryn Hahn, and Casey Wilson. Couple that with its ultra-intriguing plot, and you've got a thriller you won't be able to stop watching.

The series follows the true story of a man named Marty and his therapist, known as Dr. Ike. Marty initially seeks help with boundaries, but soon, his life is taken over by his own boundary-crossing therapist.

Black Bird

Taron Egerton (Smoke) stars as James Keene in Black Bird, a story centered around a potentially life-changing proposition. While serving out a 10-year prison sentence, James gets an opportunity to be a free man again, as long as he can get Larry Hall, a suspected killer, to confess to his crimes. Released in 2022 as a limited series, Black Bird will take you on a true survival mission.

Suspicion

We all loved Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, and now, you can get another dose of the iconic actress in Suspicion. After the son of a United States media mogul is kidnapped, a worldwide manhunt is launched, and four people are accused of being behind the abduction. This sets off a suspenseful race against the clock to prove what really happened. You can stream Suspicion's first and only season on Apple TV+.

Servant

Ever since its debut in 2019, Servant has gone on to have four successful seasons. Perhaps that's because acclaimed director M. Night Shyamalan is largely behind the psychological horror series. It's about a Philadelphia couple who experience an "unspeakable tragedy" that causes a divide in their marriage, and the gap allows a strange force to enter their household. The cast includes Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, Nell Tiger Free, Rupert Grint, and more.

Losing Alice

Ayelet Zurer portrays Alice in this mind-bending thriller that tackles jealousy and the fear of aging. In Losing Alice, the protagonist is a 48-year-old film director who feels like she's no longer relevant after raising her family. So, when she meets a young screenwriter named Sophie, she becomes obsessed, and it causes her to sacrifice her integrity. You can stream the eight-episode miniseries now.

Defending Jacob

Adapted from William Landay's 2012 bestselling novel of the same name, Defending Jacob is perfect for lovers of legal thrillers. Chris Evans stars as Andy Barber, an Assistant District Attorney who becomes the lead prosecutor in the murder case of his son's classmate. Then, his whole family's life is upended when his own son is actually accused of committing the crime. Defending Jacob is another miniseries with eight episodes, yet it still packs a gut-wrenching punch.
