Tuesday nights on Apple TV+ just got a little funnier.

In addition to The Studio, new episodes of the new David Oyelowo surrealist comedy Government Cheese will also be coming out on Tuesdays through May 28.

The new Apple Original follows Hampton Chambers (Oyelowo), whose family reunion doesn’t quite go to plan after his release from prison. Discovering that his wife and sons have formed an unconventional family unit in his absence, Chambers’ return spins their lives into chaos as he attempts to start over — going from burglar to inventor.

When Does Government Cheese Come Out on Apple TV+?

Officially, new episodes of Government Cheese will drop on Wednesdays on Apple TV+, beginning with the April 11 two-episode premiere. However, Apple TV+ will often release new episodes the night before their listed premiere dates, so it’s likely you’ll be able to watch new episodes of Government Cheese as early as 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday nights.

How to Watch Government Cheese:

Government Cheese airs exclusively on Apple TV+, so you’ll need a subscription to watch the new episodes as they drop.

Right now, Apple TV+ is offering a major deal when you subscribe in place of its typical one-week free trial. Instead of $9.99/month, you’ll get your first three months for $2.99/month.

You’ll save 70% during the promo period and be able to watch the entire series before your subscription reverts back to the standard monthly price.
