  • Apple released the first teaser Thursday, confirming the series will debut April 29 on Apple TV.
  • The 10-episode season will roll out weekly through June 17, with a special two-episode drop on May 27, though outlets differ on whether two or three episodes premiere on launch day.
  • Creator and showrunner Katie Dippold leads the series, with executive producer Hiro Murai directing five episodes alongside Ti West, Sam Donovan and Andrew DeYoung.
