The acquisition follows Apple TV's recent move to license non‑original series such as Small Prophets.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Apple TV announced on Oct. 8 that it has secured worldwide streaming rights to the Australian crime series Dustfall, starring Anna Torv, with a planned launch in 2027.
What happened
The streamer, which has traditionally focused on original programming since its 2019 launch, said the deal will add the series to its catalogue after an initial rollout in select overseas territories.
What the reports add
9to5Mac notes that this is only the second licensing deal after the British comedy Small Prophets, which premiered earlier this year following a similar acquisition.
What was said
The outlet quotes early reviews calling Small Prophets a “masterpiece” and suggests Apple TV’s strategy is evolving toward high‑quality third‑party content.
How it came about
Apple TV’s shift aligns with its broader services push, as seen in recent Felo coverage of Apple expanding Apple TV+ into iCloud+ bundles and launching new hardware discounts.
