Apple’s new original podcast tells an ‘unbelievable true story’

Apple has announced “Adrift”, an eight-part original podcast premiering on Apple Podcasts on November 10. Here’s what to expect.

Adrift premieres on November 10

As detailed by Apple, Adrift tells the story of the Robertsons, “a young British family whose dream to sail around the world becomes a fight for survival”.

In addition to a cinematic sound design and a “searing original score,” Adrift is hosted by Becky Milligan, who spent more than two decades at the BBC before joining Blanchard House as a producer and host. This is the third podcast collaboration between Blanchard House and Apple.

Here’s Apple on the new show:

“With immersive audio, first-person accounts and exclusive interviews revealing never-before-heard details, ‘Adrift’ takes listeners inside the Robertsons’ extraordinary journey, following parents Dougal and Lyn, their teenage children Douglas and Anne, and 12-year-old twins Sandy and Neil, as they find themselves hundreds of miles from land with no radio, few supplies and sharks circling. Stranded in the vast emptiness of the ocean, they must rely on ingenuity, instinct and one another to survive. But even surrounded by danger, the greatest challenges they face may come from within.”

The trailer for Adrift is already up on Apple Podcasts, and you can listen to it here.

If you’re an Apple TV subscriber, you can connect your subscription to Apple Podcasts and get all episodes on November 10. If not, you’ll be able to listen to the first three episodes on the same date, with new episodes being made available weekly through December 15.

Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Severance, The StudioThe Morning ShowShrinking and Silo.
