Forget 'Severance,' Apple TV’s 'Hello Tomorrow!' Is a Masterpiece From Start to Finish

The streaming era has seen several different studios attempt to create their own market-cornering science fiction show, from Netflix‘s 3-Body Problem to Prime Video’s Fallout, and Disney+’s plethora of Star Wars content. However, despite all of their efforts, the undisputed champion of sci-fi on streaming is Apple TV, with shows like Severance, Silo, Foundation, and Pluribus dominating both in-house streaming charts and wider discourse amongst audiences.

However, with this range of projects in the genre comes the higher odds that some of these shows, however compelling they may be, go unjustly under the radar. One of these shows was Hello Tomorrow!, and it truly is a great shame. Hello Tomorrow! not only created a fascinating premise and touching narrative, but also features a fantastic performance from Billy Crudup that should have been given far more praise than it garnered upon its release in 2023.

What Is Apple TV’s Sci-Fi Series ‘Hello Tomorrow!’ About?

Hello Tomorrow! is set in a retro-futuristic America and follows a salesman named Jack Billings (Crudup) as he travels the country selling timeshares for a supposed residential community on the moon. Jack is the classic idea of a traveling salesman, in that he values the sale above all else, and can struggle to form meaningful connections because of it. As the show goes on, we become more and more suspicious of the existence of these residences on the moon. Jack keeps pushing back customers’ launch dates, and our trust in him is challenged as we wonder if he is a reliable narrator or not.

• You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens
  you.

  can’t escape.

  chooses to bear it anyway.

• You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
• Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve
  earned it.

• That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.

• Paul Wesley’s Kirk took the center chair in Strange New Worlds season 4, which
  premiered July 23, 2026.

  she had already filmed.

• You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time

  monster isn’t there.

  the home planet.

• George Miller has a script for the next Mad Max, The Wasteland, but has said only that we
  will see whether it gets made.

Hello Tomorrow!‘s true emotional tale is about Jack’s relationship with his estranged son, Joey (Nicholas Podany), whom he hasn’t seen in 18 years after leaving him and his mother. After Joey’s mother is accidentally killed by an automated delivery drone, Joey tries to move to one of Jack’s timeshares, which Jack denies, and hires him as an assistant, trying to rebuild their relationship. However, the tension that underscores most of their narrative throughout the season is the fact that Jack doesn’t tell his son that he is his father, further complicating the audience’s relationship with him as we try to sympathize with his intentions.
