Why Apple TV+ is not airing a new episode of Smoke tonight
Apple TV+ is not airing a new episode of Smoke tonight, as the series ended.
The series premiered on June 27, 2025, and concluded on August 15, 2025. Fans were eager to know if there were extra episodes lined up. This was due to streaming platforms’ new strategy of dropping their series’ episodes in parts to maintain hype. However, Smoke is not following this release pattern. All of its nine episodes have been released on their scheduled release date and time.
Additionally, fans have been curious about the show’s next chapters. However, Smoke is yet to be renewed for a second season. Nevertheless, it hasn’t been canceled either. Smoke was touted as a miniseries, so the chances for a new installment are less, but fans should not give up hope.
In a recent interview with Decider, creator Dennis Lehane opened up on the possibility of a Smoke Season 2. He stated, “We’ve planned a whole Season 2, now we’ve just got to find out if we get it. We’re ready to go for you.” Lehane further added, “We always saw the show as three seasons. And just so you know, I always have to know where I’m ultimately going. I don’t know how I’m getting there, but I know where I am going. So I know where the show’s going.”
Moreover, Smoke has a 6.6/10 rating on IMDb and 72% on Rotten Tomatoes. While possibilities are endless, fans need to wait for an official confirmation from the makers.
Smoke features Taron Egerton, Jurnee Smollett, Rafe Spall, and many others in key roles.
