New chart, category, celebration of essential series launches on Apple Podcasts

Apple Podcasts

Apple has announced that Apple Podcasts “is elevating series — narrative shows with episodes intended to be listened to in order — that captivate listeners across multiple genres.”

Apple Podcasts is launching a new Top Series chart that will be updated continuously and features the top 100 series, making it the first chart for series shows ever created. Additionally, a brand-new Series category will help listeners explore and discover shows they will love. 

Lastly, Apple Podcasts editors will introduce Series Essentials, recognizing and celebrating one series each month that best defines the category, beginning with “Ghost Story,” an original limited series from Wondery and Audacy’s Pineapple Street Studios. Details on all the Apple Podcast changes can be found here.
