Apple TV+ streaming in MacBook completely blank screen for the first few minutes.

Watching apple TV in my MacBook Air m1, just now after macOS Tahoe update, the movie or series ad and then the episode recap both appear completely blank but can hear the audio and see subtitles.

Like watching tv series severance, dark matter and movies too.

This issue occurs while watching on external monitor and on Mac screen while disconnecting from external monitor.

Have restarted Mac, cleared/ reset cache, etc nothing worked.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.0

Apple TV+ may show a blank screen on MacBook initially due to slow loading or caching; try updating macOS, clearing browser cache, or restarting the app to fix it.

Still same issue - tho I have fully updated macOS Tahoe, safari completely cleared browsing history/ cache, restarted Mac and reset apple tv

Nothing fixes the issue

Still doesn't play first 2 minutes of video

Also one more issue safari when I click on a link or webpage it throws an error as site cannot be reached this is happening for basic yt, google search and images etc.

Is this related to macOS 26 new update
