More about The Apprentice

Back in 2004, The Apprentice burst onto the scene, showcasing ambitious contestants battling it out in business tasks, all eyeing a coveted position at The Trump Organization with a hefty $250,000 salary. Each episode was a rollercoaster of strategy, drama, and, of course, Trump's signature phrase, "You're fired!"

This series reshaped reality TV and played a key role in redefining Trump's public persona, paving the way for his political journey. Now, two decades later, both longtime fans and curious newcomers can experience the intensity, the rivalries, and the successes that made The Apprentice a cultural touchstone.

Why was The Apprentice not available on OTT for all these years?

The answer lies in a complicated web of rights, politics, and branding concerns. Following Donald Trump's transition from reality TV star to U.S. President, The Apprentice became a controversial media piece. Networks distanced themselves from it, and licensing deals were never locked in for OTT platforms.

Additionally, MGM, which owned the show's distribution rights, kept the series off streaming due to ongoing negotiations and the show's evolving legacy. It wasn't until Amazon acquired MGM in 2022 that discussions about bringing The Apprentice to streaming resurfaced, finally leading to this much-awaited release.

Created by Mark Burnett, The Apprentice featured Donald Trump as the host and judge, with key advisors like Carolyn Kepcher and George Ross offering their insights. The winners of each season went on to secure high-profile jobs within Trump's business empire, including Bill Rancic (Season 1), Kelly Perdew (Season 2), Kendra Todd (Season 3), and Randal Pinkett (Season 4), among others.

While some winners thrived in their roles, others parted ways with Trump¡¯s organization sooner than expected. The show also had its fair share of unforgettable contestants like Omarosa Manigault, who became a breakout star and later ventured into politics. Excited enough?
