Season finale: Friday 24th June 2022 

Now and Then, which is set in Miami and shot in both Spanish and English, starts with a group of drunken college students on a beach. But when the partying leads to a fatal crash, the group are forever changed by a slew of dark events. 

Now, some 20 years later, the remaining five members of the group are forced back together – reluctantly reunited by a threat that puts their seemingly perfect worlds at risk.

Sounds good? The critics agree, calling Apple TV's arty take on I Know What You Did Last Summer a "captivating crime thriller", and heaping praise on Marina de Tavira's "sultry" performance.

The first three episodes of Now and Then debut globally on 20th May 2022. Follow our guide to get a 7-day free trial of Apple TV+ and watch Now and Then wherever you are.
