Small Prophets is already back. Apple TV has confirmed the British comedy’s renewal for Season 2, just weeks after its U.S. Debut. The six-episode series, which premiered on Apple TV in the States on October 7, follows Michael Sleep — played by Pearce Quigley, a man frozen in time since his girlfriend Clea vanished seven years ago. His father, Brian (Michael Palin), hands him an alchemical recipe. From there, Michael attempts to brew magical spirits that might answer the one question he can’t let go: what happened to her? It’s a premise that leans into whimsy with a side of melancholy, and it clearly landed. The BBC announced the renewal in September, citing strong viewership. Up to 9.2 million in the UK, and confirmed Season 2 will shift from BBC Two to BBC One. Mackenzie Crook, who created, wrote, and directed the first season, will return to helm the next chapter. He called it ‘the second half of this strange story’. A phrase that hints at deeper mysteries ahead. New episodes drop weekly on Apple TV, with the final installment arriving November 4. Season 2 is expected in 2027, though no date has been set. For now, the show’s momentum is real. And if you’re still waiting for a sign, the alchemy’s already working.
