Forget Severance? Apple TV’s Hello Tomorrow! Gets a Fresh Push
A new review urges viewers to forget Severance and try Hello Tomorrow!, Apple TV's 2023 retro-futuristic sci-fi series starring Billy Crudup as a timeshare salesman peddling homes on the moon. The critic argues the show went unjustly under the radar.
A review published on November 9, 2026 tells viewers to forget Severance and look at another Apple TV science fiction series: Hello Tomorrow!, which first aired in 2023. The reviewer calls it "a great shame" that the show slipped past so many people.
What the show is about
Hello Tomorrow! is set in a retro-futuristic America. Billy Crudup plays Jack Billings, a traveling salesman who sells timeshares in a supposed residential community on the moon.
Jack is the classic salesman. He values the sale above all else and struggles to form meaningful connections because of it.
Doubt builds as the story goes on. Viewers start to question whether the moon residences exist at all, because Jack keeps pushing back his customers' launch dates. That also raises the question of whether he is a reliable narrator.
Why the reviewer rates it
The review credits the series with a fascinating premise and a touching narrative. It singles out Crudup's performance, which it says should have drawn far more praise than it received on release in 2023.
The argument rests on how crowded streaming science fiction has become. The review points to Netflix's 3-Body Problem, Prime Video's Fallout and Disney+'s large library of Star Wars content as rival attempts to dominate the genre.
Apple TV, the reviewer writes, is still the "undisputed champion" of streaming sci-fi. The review lists Severance, Silo, Foundation and Pluribus as shows that dominate both in-house streaming charts and wider audience discussion.
A deep catalog cuts both ways, the review says. The more projects a service releases in one genre, the higher the odds that some of them, however compelling, "go unjustly under the radar". Hello Tomorrow! is its example of that.
What it means for viewers
For Apple TV subscribers who have already worked through the better-known titles, the review offers a pointer to something less talked about. Its pitch is a retro-styled world, a salesman whose story may not add up, and a lead performance it considers overlooked.
The review is one critic's opinion, and the series has not been tied to any new release or renewal announcement.
