None of the Apple TV content is intended to leave.

  • Apple TV+ shows (Apple Originals) have no end date, and so far none have left. Most titles are bought by Apple/​produced for Apple, and those are expected to stay with Apple TV indefinitely.
  • iTunes Store movies and TV shows are licensed, and could possibly leave the Store, e.g. if the owner studio goes bankrupt. Rare but possible.
  • Apple TV app Channels have shows from other content providers, and those could leave if that content provider decides to, same as on their own platform. E.g. AMC+ channel might carry the current season of something, but the previous seasons might be licensed to another network.
