Sure, there are other things you could do, but you're probably going to put on your favorite streaming service and look for a little bit of escapism. But we're not talking about the tension of a mystery, the explosiveness of an action movie, or the blood-curdling thrills of a slasher. No, you're looking for intense romance, and maybe even some eye-popping sex scenes.

Apple TV+ may have a limited selection, but it doesn't mean there aren't some titillating titles that'll meet all your needs. So sit back and relax, because we've found the steamiest movies and series on Apple TV+.

Cha Cha Real Smooth

The 2022 romantic drama "Cha Cha Real Smooth" comes from Cooper Raiff, who writes, directs, and stars in the film opposite Dakota Johnson ("Fifty Shades of Grey"). The film tells the story of Andrew, a lively but struggling young man who forms an unlikely friendship with a weary mother. Brad Garrett ("Everybody Loves Raymond"), Leslie Mann ("This is 40") and newcomers Vanessa Burghardt and Evan Assante round out the cast.

With a touch of comedy, the romantic tale begins with the directionless Andrew who, having just graduated from college, attends the Bat Mitzvah of a family friend. He becomes the unexpected life of the party and helps bring young autistic Lola (Burghardt) out of her shell. Andrew finds himself with a full-time gig as a party host, while Lola's mother Domino (Johnson) is also beguiled by his charm. The only problem is that Andrew is still hoping to get back together with his girlfriend Maya, who has left for Barcelona, while Domino also has a fiance in the picture.

"Cha Cha Real Smooth" is a smooth, sexy rom-com about a pair of young lovers-to-be that are constantly dancing around their feelings for each other. The sexual tension is off the charts, and the chemistry between Raiff and Johnson is so palpable you'll be screaming for them to finally make the big move. When and if they do, however, is the real question.

Ghosted

Put Captain America together with a Bond girl, and you're likely to have a winner, and that's exactly what "Ghosted." Billed more as an action comedy and spy movie, you might not expect just how sexy "Ghosted" really is, but when you put Chris Evans and Ana de Armas together, how could it be anything else? What makes this one so surprising, though, is that the movie puts them in genre-defying roles, with Evans as a clumsy, bumbling everyman, and de Armas as the headstrong, tough-as-nails CIA agent and action hero.

The story opens with farmer's market vendor Cole (Evans) scoring a date with customer Sadie (de Armas), which leads to one seriously passionate evening together. But just as Cole thinks he may have found the one, she seems to ghost him, disappearing off to London. As a romantic gesture, Cole tries to track her down, but soon discovers that Sadie is actually an intelligence agent with a world-saving agenda, and suddenly Cole is an unwitting player in her mission to stop a ring of diabolical international terrorists.

Directed by Dexter Fletcher and written by "Deadpool" scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, "Ghosted" has all the first-rate comedy and action, adventure, and guns-blazing shootouts you could possibly want, and with Evans and De Armas, the sparks fly romantically too. This one isn't so much a will-they-won't-they kind of movie, though — it's more of a will-they-won't-they survive.

Drops of God

"Drops of God" is a curious series with an unusual subject matter, focused on the world of wine tasting. The series is based on the Japanese manga of the same name, which has actually been adapted already — twice, in fact. In 2008, it became a series in Korea starring Bae Yong-Joon, and a year later a series was made in its native Japan, starring Kazuya Kamenashi. This version, a multinational production that debuted in 2023 on Apple TV+, stars Tomohisa Yamashita and French actress Fleur Geffrier.

"Drops of God" revolves around Camille Leger, whose father has just passed away, leaving her the presumptive heir to his extensive wine collection worth nearly $150 million dollars. Unfortunately, she has a challenger to her claim in the form of Issei Tomine, her father's former student, and the two must compete for the right to win what is considered the world's greatest collection of wine in the world. To win it all, they must complete a series of tests designed by Leger's father that will take them around the world and back again, and while Camille's bloodline could give her the edge, Isse's experience gives her a run for her money.

A lushly produced, luxurious drama dripping with atmosphere and sexual tension, the story turns up the heat as we see both Camille and Issei involved in passionate romances that could endanger their chances of coming out on top.

City on Fire

A quirky and eccentric drama set in 2003 New York, "City on Fire" received positive reviews, with Arizona Central calling it "entertaining as all get out" and its characters "weird enough to keep viewers engaged." An eight-episode series from 2023, it introduces us to Samantha (Chase Sui Wonders), a young college student who is shot on Independence Day at the beginning of the series, with much of the story flashing back to the days before the crime while she rests in a coma, her life hanging in the balance.

With various plotlines running side by side, we meet Charlie (Wyatt Oleff), a Long Island native who lost his father on 9/11 and meets Sam right before her injury. It also features Regan (Jemimma Kirke) and Keith (Ashley Zukerman), a haughty uptown couple enamored with their own real estate wealth, as well as a story about the flourishing underground New York music scene. But the heart and soul of the series is the blossoming romance between new friends Charlie and Sam. In the past, we see the pair bond and their sizzling romance slowly grow, while in the present day, the police work diligently to find out who left Sam for dead. 

The series captures the look, feel, and mood of New York City in 2003, weaving together multiple complex stories, with the burgeoning passion between Sam and Charlie at its center.

Tehran

Another international effort, "Tehran" features Israeli actors Niv Sultan and Liraz Charhi, Iranian star Shaun Toub, and Hollywood icon Glenn Close as a British intelligence officer. A spy series that has run two seasons so far, "Tehran" centers around Tamar Rabinyan (Sultan), an agent for Mossad, who must go undercover on a classified mission to Iran — where she was born — to stop the nation's nuclear ambitions.

Hoping to shut down their nuclear reactor and slow their air defenses to help pave the way for an Israeli attack, Tamar takes on a false identity as a run-of-the-mill electric company worker. But her critical mission is jeopardized by an unexpected assault at the hands of her boss, which forces Tamar on the run. Thankfully, she's able to take refuge with members of her family who still reside in Iran, while being pursued by Revolutionary Guard investigator Faraz Kamali (Toub). But lest you get the impression that "Tehran" is all business, her relationship with boyfriend Milad (Shervin Alenabi) provides some seriously steamy moments.

A taut cat-and-mouse thriller, "Tehran" isn't quite an erotic thriller, but it has its moments. The romantic and sexual chemistry, when it hits, will have your heart racing as much as any action sequence.

The Essex Serpent

Based on a steamy novel from Sarah Perry (author of "After Me Comes the Flood"), the 2022 Apple TV+ miniseries "The Essex Serpent" stars a pair of superstar sex symbols in Tom Hiddleston and Claire Danes. A mix of pulse-pounding romance, nail-biting suspense, and gothic mystery, the six-episode series puts Danes into the leading role of an investigator of the unknown whose latest case involves the apparent arrival of a mythical beast. But the series goes to unexpected places, exploring the rift between science and faith.

Representing the faithful is Pastor Will Ransome (Hiddleston), the Essex religious leader who meets London archeologist Cora Seaborne (Danes) when she arrives on the search for the supposed serpent that has been seen in the region. As Seaborne looks for a rational explanation, the locals believe the creature has come to exact penance for their sins. At first, Ransome is skeptical of the creature's very existence and attempts to tamp down the mounting frenzy in town, but Seaborne's arrival only stokes their fears further.

As the two work together, though, an intense attraction forms, and while Ransome can't forget about his wife Stella (Clemence Poesy), he finds it increasingly hard to hold back his lust for Cora.

WeCrashed

One of a growing number of TV series based on a podcast, "WeCrashed" sprang from an audio documentary that chronicled the meteoric rise and precipitous downfall of the co-working space company known as WeWork. It was a sudden sensation when it first launched, making its founders rich beyond their dreams of avarice, but after being rocked by scandal after scandal, the company found itself floundering in one of the most famous corporate crashes of the decade.

Debuting in 2022 on Apple TV+, the series boasts an all-star cast with Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway as company founder Adam Neumann and his wife Rebekah. The series sees the young couple on the rise — both in business and in love — and while their passions inflame, so does their bottom line. As WeWork turns into a business juggernaut, Adam and Rebekah become an industry power couple. But when the company faces a crisis, can their love endure, or is it destined to fall apart as well? 

An engrossing corporate thriller and a steamy love story rolled into one, "WeCrashed" may on the surface be about a business gone wrong, but it's really about the love affair between the company's two principal founders. That's where the series shines, as Leto and Hathaway give mesmerizing performances that earned them both rave reviews.

Servant

A show that some may have overlooked, "Servant" is an underrated horror thriller series executive produced by the modern-day master of suspense, M. Night Shyamalan. He has directed at least one episode in each of its four seasons so far, while his daughter Ishana made her directing debut on the series, and Nimrod Antal ("Predators") contributed to a number of episodes.

"Servant" tells the strange story of Dorothy and Sean Turner (Lauren Ambrose and Toby Kebbell) who lost their infant son. Dorothy is suffering from a mental health crisis, and the only way to bring her out of her catatonic state is an unusual form of therapy that involves a lifelike infant doll. To cope, Sean helps her pretend that their child is still alive, but this also means bringing in a nanny, Leanne Grayson, who is suddenly confronted by the unsettling nature of the Turners' home life. But things go sideways when the Turners realize that Grayson isn't all she seems, with supernatural abilities that seem out of her control. As Leanne's powers begin to increase, her love affair with Dorothy's brother Julian (Rupert Grint) throws an unexpected wrinkle into the situation. 

A gripping mystery, there's some steamy action involving "Harry Potter" star Grint that you might not expect. As their relationship turns physical, one memorably steamy moment sees Julian getting down and dirty with the family therapist in the cellar while everyone else sits upstairs, unknowing.

See

"Aquaman" star Jason Momoa has never been shy about appearing in hot and heavy projects, from his jaw-dropping sex scenes in "Game of Thrones" to his balletic love scene with Rachel Nichols in 2011's "Conan the Barbarian." Suffice it to say, Momoa knows how to get the steam rising, and he does it again in the Apple TV+ original "See," from the mind of "Peaky Blinders" creator Steven Knight. A post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama set in a dark future world where humans have lost their sense of sight, "See" begins with the emergence of a pair of twins who have regained this mythical lost ability.

Mankind has reverted back to a pre-industrial state when a young pregnant woman named Maghra (Hera Hilmar) takes refuge with the Alkenny, a small tribe in the mountains. She is pregnant by a fugitive named Jerlamarel, who has been accused of the crime of sight and hunted by the ruthless Payan Witchfinders. After Maghra gives birth to sighted twins, the Alkenny's leader, Baba Voss (Momoa), takes the children as his own, and fights to keep them safe from Queen Sibeth Kane (Sylvia Hoeks), the tyrannical ruler of the Payan Kingdom — and Maghra's sister.

Like Momoa's "Game of Thrones," "See" is rife with bloody violence, and some steamy love scenes too. Met with good reviews, most agree that Momoa's powerhouse performance and his red-hot chemistry with co-star Hera Hilmar keep the fires burning on-screen. 

Cherry

It's unlikely you'll be seeing Tom Holland get sexy on screen as Peter Parker in the MCU, but he did get his fans excited in his Apple TV+ movie "Cherry." From Anthony and Joe Russo, the directing team behind "Avengers: Endgame," came this dark story of a young military veteran who returns home and struggles to pick up the pieces. Based on a novel of the same name, "Cherry" is inspired by the life of its author, Nico Walker, who dealt with similar struggles as an Iraq war veteran in the mid-2000s.

In the film, Cherry is devastated by his girlfriend Emily (Ciara Bravo) going away for college, and he turns to the U.S. Army for solace. But when he returns to Emily's side after two years of service, Cherry is no longer the man he once was, having lived through horrific experiences that have left him with PTSD. Now abusing prescription drugs to deal with the pain, he inadvertently gets Emily addicted too, and to pay for their habit, Cherry takes to robbing banks. But as their love affair and drug addiction consumes them both, Cherry finds himself so deep in debt that there may be no way out.

For All Mankind

One of the first major hits for Apple TV+, "For All Mankind" comes from the mind of Ronald D. Moore, former "Star Trek" writer and showrunner of "Outlander." But despite its evocative title, it isn't the dramatization of the Apollo moon landings that some might have envisioned. Instead, it's a science fiction drama set in a world where the Soviets got to the lunar surface first, sparking a decades-long space race that continues into the 21st century over the course of the show's four seasons. During that time, humankind doesn't just land on the moon, but on Mars, too.

More than just an alternate history lesson, "For All Mankind" also delves into the personal lives of its characters, which include American astronauts Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman), Gordo Stevens (Michael Dorman), and Ellen Wilson (Jodi Balfour). The series doesn't hold back from digging into the most private parts of their lives, with plenty of steamy moments throughout as they face the rigors of rising political tensions and turn them into hot and heavy sexual tension.

From married couples to swinging single bachelors, the show's cast of charismatic men and women aren't shy, and the audience gets to see it all. If you're looking for a solid mix of sci-fi, history, and bone-rattling romance, "For All Mankind" should get your blood pumping. While it's certainly not wall-to-wall sex scenes, the drama in between is more than enough to keep you coming back for more all night long. 

The Buccaneers

When it comes to 19th century novelists whose work would make for some steamy entertainment, one might think of Jane Austen. But alongside her is Edith Wharton, whose best-known tale, "The Age of Innocence," was adapted by Martin Scorcese into one of the '90s' hottest romantic dramas. Now, however, Wharton's final, lesser-known book — the unfinished novel "The Buccaneers" — has made its way to Apple TV+.

In "The Buccaneers," Kristine Froseth, Alisha Boe, and Imogen Waterhouse star as Annabel George, Conchita Closson, and Virginia St. George, a trio of young, wealthy socialite women from America who travel to England in search of husbands. It's debutante season in London, and their hope is that by marrying an Englishman they'll each earn a British title and accompanying status, while providing their family wealth to a new house. Once they arrive across the pond, though, the series becomes as much about the clash of cultures as it is about their search for husbands. They also find themselves beating off potential suitors, with the drama escalating as proposals begin to fly.  

Though "The Buccaneers" isn't the most sexually explicit series on this list, there's enough sizzling beneath the surface to send even the most chaste viewer running for a cold shower. The series, unlike the 1995 TV movie (starring Carla Gugino) also dips its toe into the world of LGBTQ+ love affairs, adding a layer of eyebrow-raising salaciousness in the more conservative Victorian era setting.

Fingernails

Blending disparate genres seems to be something Apple is doing well these days, and in 2023 they struck again with "Fingernails," a romance with some science fiction elements. The film, from writer-director Christos Nikou, takes place in a near future where DNA from a fingernail can determine whether a person is truly compatible and in love with their partner. It's an odd starting premise, but one that sets the stage for some heavy drama.

While the "fingernail test" may sound compelling to lovebirds, its success rate is actually quite low, with most couples discovering they aren't really in love at all. It's here that we meet Anna and Ryan (Jessie Buckley and Jeremy Allen White), a young pair who are seemingly the perfect match, and their test is one of the rare positive proofs of love. But when Anna starts working at a company that specializes in helping strained relationships, she discovers a new attraction to her supervisor Amir (Riz Ahmed), setting off a chain of events that will upend all of their lives.

"Fingernail" is a sexy character study, the story of a woman who is searching for true love even though everyone tells her she's already found it. Of course, that's not really why we're here; though the movie only has a few scant moments of physical romance, it's the unspoken — and often frustrating and unfulfilled — sexual tension between Ryan and Amir that will get the temperature rising.

Palmer

Growing up a Mouseketeer and cutting his musical teeth as a member of NSYNC, Justin Timberlake has broadened his resume in Hollywood with a number of dramatic roles. In 2021, he went for something a bit more grim than the likes of "Trolls," starring in the Apple TV+ thriller, "Palmer." Not only was it among his darker films to date, it's also one of his very best.

In "Palmer," Timberlake plays the beleaguered Eddie, who was once ticketed for stardom as a standout college football player. But before he could turn pro, Eddie got mixed up on the wrong side of the law, winding up behind bars for a 12-year stretch on attempted murder charges. Now a free man after a decade in prison, Eddie finds the world has changed and he's far behind where he wants to be as he struggles to put his life back together. All that changes, however, when he meets Sam Burdette (Ryder Allen), a young boy in need of guidance after his mother Shelly (Juno Temple) abandons him.

Admittedly, "Palmer" is not the movie to watch if you're looking for two hours of panty-ruffling excitement. But there are a few moments that will have viewers reaching for the Kleenex, and not to catch a sneeze. If you've ever wondered what a hot scene might look like between Justin Timberlake and Juno Temple, wonder no more, because this one will satiate any curiosity you may have, albeit in brief but pleasing spurts.

Physical

If you grew up in the 1980s you no doubt remember the emerging fad of exercise tapes, made popular by the likes of celebrities Jane Fonda, Suzanne Somers, and Olivia Newton-John. But while those stars were trying to help viewers get into shape, some people were watching them for another reason, and it's not hard to understand why. Their leotards that left no curve to the imagination and suggestive exercise moves combined to make these tapes borderline softcore pornography. In 2021, Apple TV+ decided to dramatize that trend.

Starring Rose Byrne, Ashley Liao, and Zooey Deschanel, "Physical" is a dark comedy set in 1980s Southern California. Here we meet Sheila (Byrne), a cheery housewife who from the outside would seem to have the perfect life. But in reality she's miserable: stuck in a bad marriage, struggling with staying thin, and desperately looking for an outlet for the frustration she feels in her uninspiring life. When she gets swept up in the emerging aerobics craze, she finally feels the strength and power she's been missing.

Sure, Sheila has a steamy affair with a Mormon mall owner (Paul Sparks), but there's so much more to this show's heat than the on-camera love scenes. Seeing the drop-dead gorgeous cast thrusting their hips and grinding their butts in skin-tight outfits — well, let's just say you might need to take frequent stress-relieving breaks if you're planning on binging the show's three seasons.

Foundation

When considering the steamiest movie or TV show on a streaming service, one might expect it to be an erotic thriller like "Basic Instinct" or "Fatal Attraction." For Apple TV+ though, the hottest piece of programming might actually be a science fiction epic. Based on one of the greatest masterpieces of the genre, "Foundation" comes from the mind of legendary author Isaac Asimov, whose canon laid the groundwork for many of today's biggest sci-fi franchises. 

Set in a distant future where a sprawling galactic empire governs most of known space, "Foundation" stars Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, a brilliant mathematician who has discovered a new field of science called psychohistory. With it, Seldon is able to predict the future, and soon discovers that the empire itself is facing cataclysm, and it's up to him to try and prevent it before it's too late. More than just an action show and space epic, relationships between the characters play a huge role in the series.

But while "Foundation" has a lot in common with "Star Trek" and "Star Wars," what sets it apart is its raw sex appeal. It never shies away from giving its scorching cast a chance to show off how sexy they are, from heartthrob Lee Pace to the red-hot Lou Llobell and sizzlingly sexy Leah Harvey. If you're looking for a sci-fi show with love scenes, this one's got them, including a now-iconic moment that starts in bed and ends in the thrusting of a blade.

Now and Then

A group of rowdy teens have a wild night of partying, but when something goes wrong and one of them winds up dead, they make a pact to keep it secret forever. Then, after they've all gone their separate ways, a mysterious message reaches them that threatens to expose their crime. Sure, you might be reminded of "I Know What You Did Last Summer," but the Apple TV+ thriller "Now and Then" takes a decidedly more serious, darker route with the material.

This time, it's been 20 years since that fateful night. The teens have all built successful adult lives since, but the threat against them is more than just a message of blackmail. Also hot on their tails is Detective Flora Neruda (Rosie Perez), who couldn't catch the killer decades earlier and is more determined than ever to finish the job. The story unfolds in two time periods, with dual narratives that make it even more gripping as dark secrets — both past and present — are slowly revealed.

Reminiscent of those tawdry paperback airport novels known for their cheap thrills and racy storylines, "Now and Then" is filled with nail-biting suspense and plenty of twists and turns. But the series delivers on steaminess too: There are plenty of titillating love scenes and a healthy dose of scantily-clad, good-looking young stars who always seem ready and eager to get down and dirty, whether in a bed, against a window, on a kitchen counter, or even on the beach.

Invasion

If Apple TV+ has done right by any genre, it's science fiction. From "Foundation" to "For All Mankind" and beyond, the streamer knows how to do sci-fi, and seems to enjoy infusing it with loads of steamy romance, sex, and nudity too. That's the case again with the 2021 series "Invasion," created by "X-Men: Days of Future Past" producer Simon Kinberg and featuring a multinational cast that includes Golshifteh Farahani, Shioli Kutsuna, Shamier Anderson, and Billy Barratt.

As its title suggests, the series is all about an invasion of Earth by a race of insidious alien monsters that seem to want nothing more than the destruction of mankind. Now at war with a race of beings from outer space, humanity must fight back against impossible odds to save itself from annihilation. What makes the series different, however, is that it's told largely in real time, a la "24," making the pressure all the more palpable.

The fight to save Earth isn't the only source of palpable tension, though. Because there's also plenty of scintillating sexual tension bubbling beneath it all, which explodes in a handful of key scenes throughout the series. Amid the chaos, there's still love to be had, and they show it, with temperature-raising romantic moments that will excite viewers as much as any explosive action scene or alien attack.

Losing Alice

Filmmakers seem to love telling stories about the movie business, whether it's a biopic of a famous star or a movie about the ins-and-outs of the industry itself. And with Hollywood a hotbed of sex and salaciousness, it's no surprise that such dramas about moviemaking can be just as steamy as any erotic thriller. Enter "Losing Alice," a psychological thriller out of Israel created by writer-director Sigal Avin that revolves around the titular Alice, a once-popular film director (Ayelet Zurer) who worries that her best days are behind her.

Concerned about being left behind by the movie business, Alice meets a young woman named Sophie (Lihi Kornowski). A fan of Alice's own work, Sophie is an aspiring screenwriter who wants Alice to direct her next screenplay. Alice becomes enamored with the young writer, who is youthfully vibrant and enviably talented. But it's more than just a professional collaboration that Alice seeks, and before long she's completely consumed by Sophie — professionally and physically — as their lives become deeply intertwined, Alice's infatuation slowly threatening to send her down a spiral of self-destruction.

A new twist on the erotic thriller, "Losing Alice" is a thoughtful exploration of love, obsession, and sexual thrills, but with the requisite amount of bawdiness. There's many comparisons to be made with some of the best in the genre, from "Black Swan" to "Single White Female," while the movie-within-a-movie adds another layer filled with sex, lies, and videotape.

Dickinson

Alena Smith was a writer on the Showtime erotic thriller series "The Affair," but in 2019 she struck out on her own to create "Dickinson," a drama based around the life of renowned author Emily Dickinson. With a fine mix of talent that includes "Halloween Kills" director David Gordon Green behind the camera for the first two installments, and "Hawkeye" star Hailee Steinfeld in the title role, the series has plenty of reasons to watch ... and that includes some seismically steamy elements, too.

When we first meet Ms. Dickinson she hasn't yet achieved her fame, and the series puts as much focus on her attempts to find love as it is about her burgeoning writing career. At first, she's none too happy that her family is trying to set her up with George, a friend of the family. But the real blossoming relationship is with her best friend Sue, who is engaged to her brother Austin, and before long the two embark on a secret love affair of their own. Now, the future legend Emily Dickinson must grapple with the truth of her own identity, all while trying to craft her next, great masterpiece.

A coming-of-age story, "Dickinson" isn't a biopic in the truest sense. Using anachronistic dialogue that makes it intentionally surreal at times, it delves into themes of sexual identity and the fight for gender equality. And it often uses arousing scenes of love and passion to explore those themes.

Napoleon

While "Dickinson" is intentional with its period mash-up, using modern-day language in a story set in the 19th century, Ridley Scott does so more minimally in the epic "Napoleon." A high-profile film from the director of "Gladiator" that was released both on Apple TV+ and in theaters, "Napoleon" stars Joaquin Phoenix as the legendary French leader. And like so many other biopics before it, the film doesn't hold back when it comes to sex and nudity.

An old school epic in the truest sense, "Napoleon" chronicles the life and times of Napoleon Bonaparte, mostly focused on his controversial rise to power. During that time, we witness the doomed French Emperor seek territorial expansion through conquest. But much of the story is actually centered on Napoleon's turbulent relationship with his wife, the Empress Josephine (Vanessa Kirby).  Brimming with sensuality, her allure is obvious, and her attraction to Napoleon's lust for power is undone when conflict arises between them over her inability to provide him with a suitable heir.

Equal parts dramatic love story and action-packed war movie, "Napoleon" drips with sexuality, even in scenes without any sex at all. That's thanks in large part to its impressively arousing performances, led by Phoenix and Kirby. But this isn't just a story infused with sexual tension — there are indeed a few explicit, steamy scenes in the bedroom that will also get you squirming in your seat.
