Buy or rent movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app on Mac
The Store in the Apple TV app is your all-in-one destination to browse, buy and rent a wide variety of movies and TV shows.
Once you find something you want to watch, you can purchase it, rent it (if it’s a movie) or choose how to watch it if it’s available on multiple channels and apps.
