United Airlines passengers can anticipate a unique in-flight entertainment: a complete serving of the series "Severance" on their upcoming flights.
United Airlines is taking a significant step forward in improving its in-flight entertainment offerings, partnering with Apple TV+ to stream several of its popular Originals. Starting from September 2025, passengers can enjoy the first seasons of The Morning Show and Bad Sisters, joining already available hits like Severance, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, and Silo[1][2][3][4][5].
The content can be streamed for free on personal seatback screens or via the United app during flights. The Apple TV+ channel offers the flexibility to start a show on one flight and continue it on another. The lineup currently includes full first seasons of the mentioned series, and new titles are expected to keep being added over time[1][3][5].
In addition to this, United Airlines is also working on improving its in-flight Wi-Fi experience. The rollout for the Starlink-powered Wi-Fi is a longer process, but promises much faster speeds and the ability for passengers to stream their own content[6]. Although not yet available on all United Airlines aircraft, the promise is for much-improved in-flight experiences.
The installation of Starlink-powered Wi-Fi is exclusive to MileagePlus members on United Airlines[7]. This partnership is a significant addition for United Airlines, marking the first time a major streaming service, other than Apple TV+, has been announced for partnership with the airline.
Meanwhile, Delta Airlines has partnered with Crunchyroll to stream select anime while in-flight, providing another option for passengers looking for entertainment during their flight[8].
United Airlines also offers additional content and access to popular podcasts, audiobooks, and playlists on Spotify, further enhancing its premium in-flight entertainment experience[9].
Apple TV+ has secured a record 81 Emmy Award nominations in 2025, adding another feather to its cap[10]. This partnership is a step in the right direction towards improving the in-flight entertainment options, making United Airlines a more attractive choice for passengers seeking an enjoyable and engaging flight experience.
