Briefings

Apple TV acquired the global streaming rights to the Australian crime series Dustfall, marking the second time the platform has moved away from its exclusive original content strategy. This acquisition occurred in October 2026, following a similar shift with the acquisition of the global rights to the Australian series 'The Last of Us' in 2025. The decision represents a strategic pivot for Apple TV, which previously maintained a strict policy of only licensing its own original productions.

Key points

• Apple TV acquired the global streaming rights to the Australian crime series Dustfall in October 2026, becoming the second major deviation from its exclusive original content strategy.
• The acquisition of Dustfall's global rights in 2026 follows a similar shift in October 2025 when Apple TV secured the global rights to the Australian series The Last of Us.

Context and limitations

Evidence is limited to the title and date of the acquisition; specific details about the content of Dustfall, the nature of the strategic shift, or the financial implications are not provided.
