Apple TV is making November 2026 one of its busiest months yet, mixing returning favorites with a new heist thriller, a food-focused docuseries, a disability-rights drama, and a family adventure led by Chris Pratt. The month begins with Owen Wilson’s Stick and closes with Way of the Warrior Kid, while the complete November schedule fills the weeks between them.
Stick returns November 4 with a 10-episode second season, launching with two episodes before moving to a weekly release through December 30. Wilson is back as Pryce Cahill, the former professional golfer whose attempt to guide teenage prodigy Santi gave the first season its emotional center. The new episodes push Pryce toward a more ambitious question: whether he can stop living through someone else’s golf career and mount a comeback of his own. Rhea Seehorn joins the returning ensemble in a supporting role. Apple TV has confirmed the season’s premiere pattern and cast additions.
On November 6, Awkwafina trades her usual comedy setup for a cross-country culinary education in Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook. The series follows Nora Lum as she explores Asian American foodways and meets chefs whose work connects cooking with family, identity, and regional tradition. It is less a conventional cooking competition than a deliberately uncomfortable learning experience for a host who starts with very little kitchen confidence. Apple lists the docuseries for a November 6 debut.
The month’s most overt genre play arrives November 13 with 12 12 12, an eight-episode crime series starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. Each story is built around three slices of a heist: 12 months of preparation, 12 hours of execution, and the 12 days afterward. Mackie plays a disgraced FBI agent pursuing Dornan’s career criminal across Europe, giving the series a cat-and-mouse framework that can examine both the crime and its consequences. Apple says the first two episodes will arrive together, followed by weekly installments through December 25.
That same day brings Being Heumann, a historical drama from Siân Heder, the Oscar-winning writer-director of CODA. Ruth Madeley stars as Judy Heumann, who helped lead the 1977 Section 504 sit-in at a San Francisco federal building, a landmark protest in the fight for disability rights. Mark Ruffalo co-stars, and the film will have a limited theatrical run beginning November 6 before its global Apple TV premiere on November 13. The project gives Apple another prestige drama rooted in real events while placing disabled activism at the center of a major original film.
November 25 brings the family adventure Way of the Warrior Kid, directed by McG and adapted from Jocko Willink’s bestselling novel. Jude Hill plays Marc, a middle-schooler struggling with bullying, while Pratt portrays his injured Navy SEAL uncle, Jake, who creates a demanding summer program designed to build courage and resilience. Linda Cardellini also stars as Marc’s mother. Alongside these premieres, Apple TV will finish seasons of Brothers, Small Prophets, and Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars, while continuing weekly episodes of Where’s Wanda? and Nocturne.
