What’s the Story This Time?

Notably, the setting shifts partly to Kansas City, giving the show a fresh geographic contrast to its usual London backdrop, even as Richmond remains central to the story.
When’s It Coming Out?
Apple TV+ hasn’t confirmed an exact release date yet, but given the current production timeline, a 2026 premiere is expected.
