Why can´t I watch every show on apple tv+

I am trying to watch shows like pretty little liars and shameless but it says that I can only watch it from hbo max. Why is it and why do you even advertise that you can watch these shows from apple tv+ even though you can not.

On what device are you trying to watch this?

Please differentiate between the Apple TV+ streaming service and the Apple TV app. They partially overlap, but the app is also able to access other content as well.


In the Apple TV app on your smart TV or streaming device, you can access:


Additionally, on select Apple devices you may be able to access content from apps that support connecting to the Apple TV app, including HBO Max. The connection still depends on that separate app and the subscription for that service. It just links conveniently from Watch Now, Up Next and Search. Availability of supported apps in the Apple TV app (on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV box) - Apple Support


The Apple TV+ subscription doesn’t include the shows that you mention. Those are not Apple Originals (Apple produced or Apple exclusive). You can subscribe to a different service for that, or buy a season from iTunes Store if available there.
