Apple TV+ is expanding its streaming catalog from November 4 through November 25, 2026, with six major original releases spanning sports comedy, crime drama, culinary nonfiction, and family holiday programming. According to 9to5Mac, the upcoming slate features the second season of the Owen Wilson golf comedy Stick, a European heist series led by Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan, and the historical drama Being Heumann from Academy Award-winning director Siân Heder. Subscribers will also see a new culinary series hosted by Awkwafina, a Peanuts holiday special, and a family drama starring Chris Pratt arriving ahead of Thanksgiving, alongside weekly episode drops for several returning fall shows.

Early November: Owen Wilson's 'Stick' Returns and Awkwafina Hits the Kitchen

The November schedule opens on Wednesday, November 4, with the second season premiere of Stick. Created by Jason Keller and executive produced by star Owen Wilson, the sports comedy follows Pryce Cahill, a former professional golfer whose career derailed 20 years ago. Working at an Indiana sporting goods store following the collapse of his marriage, Cahill stakes his professional comeback and future on mentoring Santi, a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom played by Peter Dager. According to German technology outlet ifun.de, the second season adds actress Rhea Seehorn to the cast and consists of 10 episodes, debuting with two episodes on premiere day followed by weekly Wednesday releases through December 30.

Two days later, on Friday, November 6, Apple TV+ shifts to unscripted programming with the debut of Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook. The eight-part docuseries follows Hollywood actor and comedian Nora Lum—known professionally as Awkwafina—as she travels across the United States to learn culinary fundamentals. Despite descending from a family of restaurateurs, Lum cannot cook and sets out with the guidance of professional chefs and relatives to revive her family's historic Chinese restaurant in New York. The series launches with two episodes, with subsequent installments arriving every Friday.

November 13 Spotlight: '12 12 12' Heist Series and Siân Heder's 'Being Heumann'

Friday, November 13 represents the busiest release date on the streamer's November calendar, anchored by the premiere of the crime drama 12 12 12. Created, written, and executive produced by Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble, the thriller centers on a massive bank vault raid deep beneath the streets of Zurich. Each episode is structured across three distinct timelines: the 12 months of planning the operation, the 12 hours of executing the robbery, and the 12 days following the crime. While 9to5Mac refers to the project broadly as a heist thriller and K-tai Watch characterizes it as a crime-action series, industry coverage consistently confirms the project is an episodic television drama rather than a feature film.

According to Yahoo Entertainment, the eight-episode series reunites leads Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan, who previously starred together in the 2019 sci-fi film Synchronic. Mackie portrays a disgraced FBI agent locked in a pursuit across Europe against Dornan's American career criminal. Both leads also serve as executive producers alongside David Ellison. The supporting ensemble includes Kali Reis, Jack Kesy, Agathe Rousselle, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and Sallie Harmsen. Greenlit in May 2024 and filmed in Budapest during the summer of 2025, 12 12 12 debuts with two episodes on November 13 and continues weekly until its December 25 finale, arriving just ahead of Mackie's theatrical appearance in Avengers: Doomsday on December 18.

Also premiering on Apple TV+ on November 13 is the Apple Original Film Being Heumann, directed by Siân Heder in her high-profile follow-up to the Oscar-winning drama CODA. Based on true events from 1977, the film stars Ruth Madeley as disability-rights activist Judy Heumann, who leads a coalition of citizens in seizing government offices after officials repeatedly ignore their phone calls. The demonstration becomes the longest occupation of a federal building in American history, forcing a government bureaucrat played by Mark Ruffalo to respond. Prior to its streaming debut on November 13, Being Heumann is slated to open in select theaters on November 6, according to ifun.de.

Rounding out the November 13 slate is the family animated special Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy. The holiday installment finds the Peanuts children on their best behavior ahead of Christmas, while Snoopy discovers he has been placed on Santa's naughty list. With 12 days remaining until the holiday, the beagle attempts to clear his name and learns that the season extends beyond material gifts. While international schedule roundups such as Echos du Net omit the animated title from their regional listings, both 9to5Mac and K-tai Watch confirm the special for November 13.

Thanksgiving Programming and Continuing Fall Series

Closing out the month's major premieres on Wednesday, November 25, is the family drama film Way of the Warrior Kid. While ifun.de notes the movie was originally announced for November 20 before Apple adjusted the calendar to November 25, other outlets including news.lavx.hu directly list the Wednesday before Thanksgiving as the official premiere date. Directed by McG from a screenplay by Will Staples and adapted from the novel by former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, the film stars Jude Hill as Marc, a middle school student struggling with academics, physical education, and classroom bullies. Chris Pratt stars as Marc's Uncle Jake, an injured, decorated Navy SEAL who moves in for the summer to recuperate alongside Marc and his mother Sarah, played by Linda Cardellini. Rather than teaching his nephew how to fight, Jake establishes "Operation Warrior Kid" to build the boy's self-confidence and resilience.

For subscribers tracking week-to-week programming, several ongoing fall series will continue dropping new episodes throughout November. According to news.lavx.hu, the comedy Brothers—starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson—and Small Prophets both run through November 4, while the culinary series Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars wraps on November 6. Longer-running fall titles include the dark comedy Where's Wanda?, which continues through December 9, and the Liev Schreiber thriller Nocturne, which premieres on October 30 and releases weekly installments through December 25. Apple TV+ is currently priced at $14.99 per month as a standalone US subscription and is also accessible via the Apple One bundle.
