Jon Stewart made his long-awaited return to television in September 2021 with the inaugural season of The Problem. The eight-episode first season tackled noteworthy topics like veterans, gun control, climate change, racism, and the stock market. According to the synopsis, “the series features tough, topical, and culture-moving conversations from the perspectives of stakeholders, experts, and individuals confronting these issues.”

Stewart also hosts a podcast with the same name as the series. The podcast goes in-depth on the show’s issues as well as investigates new questions that don’t make the air. Recent episodes covered the #MashaAmini protests, the Trump Justice Department, and the upcoming midterm elections.

After over a year away, Apple TV+'s workplace comedy Mythic Quest is coming back for its third season. But unlike the first two seasons, this year's episodes are following two different companies. Ian Grimm (Rob McElhenney) and Poppy Li (Charlotte Nicdao) have left Mythic Quest behind to form their own company, GrimmPop Studios. But as you can see in the new season 3 trailer, Ian's ego may be a bit out of control. He was once the creative director of the most popular MMORPG in the world, and now he believes that means he belongs among history's greatest trailblazers.

Return of The Morning Show: A spoiler-free preview of season 2

The Morning Show was one of the most heavily promoted original series on Apple TV+ before the streaming service officially launched. It garnered attention for its timely storylines that tied into the Me Too movement, as well as an A-list cast that includes Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, and Billy Crudup, whose performance won Apple TV+ its first Emmy.

The first season, which was met with mixed reviews, centers around the goings-on of a popular daytime morning news show and its home network, UBA, which gets hit with a dose of controversy when longtime morning show co-host Mitch Kessler (Carell) is accused of sexual misconduct. The feminist themes continue when his good friend and co-host, Alex Levy (Aniston), finds herself acutely aware that the network might be looking to replace her with a younger, up-and-coming, but unseasoned journalist named Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon).
