If your TV has the full Apple TV app, with a Library tab, then yes that is supported. (The specialized Apple TV+ app on some devices wouldn’t have a Library. Compare these app editions in: Get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app on your smart TV or streaming device - Apple Support.)

The purchase would get linked to your Apple ID account, so both devices would need to match for the account.
