Apple TV debuts trailer for Apple Original podcast, ‘Adrift’

Apple TV has announced “Adrift,” a new Apple Original podcast that shares the true story of the Robertsons, a young British family who sold everything they owned to sail around the world. 

When disaster strikes, their dream voyage turns into a desperate fight for survival in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The eight-episode podcast will premiere on Apple Podcasts on November 10.

Here’s how the podcast is described: 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.

“Adrift” is brought to life by a searing original score and ambitiously cinematic sound design, created with sailors and sound recordists from around the world to tell the most complete version of the Robertsons’ story. 

Hosted by award-winning journalist Becky Milligan, “Adrift” is the third Apple Original podcast produced by Blanchard House, following the award-winning series “Extrasensory” and “The Pirate of Prague.” Follow and listen on Apple Podcasts apple.co/Adrift.

Apple TV subscribers can connect their subscription to Apple Podcasts and access all eight episodes of “Adrift” on November 10. Nonsubscribers can access the first three episodes of the eight-episode podcast, with remaining episodes releasing weekly until the finale on December 15, 2025.
