The search for "Bad Apples 2026" is pulling up a Finnish drama series that debuted in 2021, not a new theatrical release. If you're hunting for a 2026 movie with that title, it doesn't appear to exist in the major databases yet—or the title you're looking for might be different.

What Bad Apples actually is

Bad Apples is a Finnish mystery-drama series created by Roope Lehtinen, Mikko Pöllä, and Mia Ylönen. It stars Satu Tuuli Karhu, Santeri Kinnunen, and Sonja Kuittinen. The show aired its first season in 2021 and is a mystery-driven drama—the kind of Scandinavian noir that's become a staple of streaming in the last decade.

The scores and what audiences say

On IMDb, Bad Apples sits at 6.9 out of 10 from 285 users. That's solid but not standout territory—it suggests the show has fans but isn't universally loved. The vote count is modest, which means it hasn't built a huge following in the English-speaking world.

Is it worth your time?

If you dig Scandinavian mystery dramas and have a couple of hours to kill, it's worth a shot. The 6.9 rating puts it in the "decent enough" zone—not a must-watch, but not a waste either. The real question is whether you have time for another mystery series when there are so many competing for your attention.

The problem: it's a 2021 series, not a new 2026 release. If you're looking for something current and fresh, this might not be what you're after. Double-check the title and year of what you're actually trying to find.

Where to watch

Check your streaming services—it's likely on a Nordic or European streaming platform, or possibly on a service that carries international content. Search by title and your region to find where it's currently available.

Bottom line

Bad Apples is a competent Finnish mystery series, but it's not a 2026 film. If you stumbled on this title while searching for something new, verify the title and release date before committing your time. There's too much good stuff out there to watch the wrong thing.
