If you’ve ever wanted to dabble in the mystical arts while also enjoying a hearty chuckle, then Apple TV’s upcoming series Small Prophets should be right up your alley. Set to drop in October, this comedy-drama is already creating quite the buzz after its debut on BBC Two back in 2026. Yes, you heard that correctly—2026. Who knew time travel was a thing?

Starring the incredibly talented Pearce Quigley as Michael Sleep (which sounds like a character who might need a strong cup of coffee), the show revolves around his rather ambitious quest to create homunculi. Now, if you’re scratching your head, thinking, “What in the world is a homunculus?” don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s basically a magical spirit that can predict the future. So, if you’ve ever wanted a tiny, mystical buddy to tell you whether you should wear the blue or the green shirt tomorrow, this show has got you covered.

But wait, there’s more! While Michael is busy trying to whip up these little magical beings, he’s also dealing with some serious heartache. His girlfriend vanished seven years ago—yikes! That’s a long time to be in the ‘where did she go?’ phase. Talk about relationship drama! It’s like he’s juggling a magical recipe with a side of unresolved feelings.

The mastermind behind this quirky series is none other than Mackenzie Crook, who not only created the show but also wrote and directed it. If you’re wondering whether this is the same Mackenzie Crook from The Office and Pirates of the Caribbean, you’re absolutely right! He’s stepping into a whole new realm of creativity, and judging by the trailer, it looks like he’s ready to make us laugh and ponder the mysteries of life all at once.

And here’s the kicker—Small Prophets has already been renewed for a second season before the first one even airs. That’s some serious confidence from Apple TV! Either they really believe in this show, or they’ve got a crystal ball of their own predicting its success.

So, mark your calendars for October and prepare to dive into a world where magical spirits and personal dilemmas collide. Will Michael find his girlfriend? Will he successfully create his homunculi? And most importantly, will he ever figure out how to do laundry? We’ll just have to tune in to find out.

In the meantime, let’s just hope the homunculi come with a manual. Because, trust me, predicting the future is way harder than it looks!
