# Heart trailer debuts ahead of 19 October premiere on Apple Podcasts

*Karen Kilgariff hosts the eight-episode true-crime series; subscribers get the full season immediately.*

**Key points**

- Apple TV Press debuted the trailer for Heart, an eight-episode Apple Original Podcast hosted by Karen Kilgariff, on 12 October 2026.
- All eight episodes premiere on 19 October on Apple Podcasts; Apple TV subscribers get the entire season that day, while others receive the first three episodes free and one new episode weekly until 23 November.
- The true-crime story follows Sonny Graham, who married his heart donor's widow and later died by the same method, both deaths officially ruled suicides.

[Apple TV Press released the trailer for Heart today](https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2026/10/apple-tv-debuts-trailer-for-heart-a-new-apple-original-podcast-hosted-by-karen-kilgariff-premiering-october-19/), an eight-episode Apple Original Podcast hosted by Karen Kilgariff. The series lands on Apple Podcasts on 19 October 2026.

All eight episodes will be available on premiere day for Apple TV subscribers. Non-subscribers can stream the first three episodes free, then receive one new episode each week through the finale on 23 November. The podcast draws on three years of reporting, using court filings, public records and personal accounts to explore the story of Sonny Graham, a heart-transplant recipient who married his donor’s widow, Terry Cottle, and later died by the same method. Both deaths were officially ruled suicides.

“Working with such a talented production team has made hosting ‘Heart’ an absolute dream. I’m so proud to be a part of this show,” Kilgariff said in the announcement.

*Heart* is produced for Apple by Plan B and Blanchard House. Kilgariff is best known as co-host of *My Favorite Murder*. The trailer is available to follow at apple.co/Heart on Apple Podcasts.

## Why it matters

In our assessment, Apple is steadily expanding its original podcast catalogue alongside its TV and film slate, signalling a long-term push to build an exclusive audio ecosystem. *Heart* joins titles such as *Extrasensory*, *Adrift* and *Run, Bambi, Run*, and marks another collaboration with Plan B, the production company behind *F1 The Movie* and other Apple projects.
