Apple TV announced its slate of new content for November, which includes six premieres and continued episodes of several ongoing series.
The month begins on November 4 with the return of 'Stick,' a sports comedy created by Jason Keller. Owen Wilson returns as Pryce Cahill, a former professional golfer who now works at a sporting goods store in Indiana. He bets on Santi, a 17-year-old golfing prodigy played by Peter Dager, to save his career.
On November 6, the docuseries 'Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook' airs. The series follows comedian Nora Lum, who is known as Awkwafina. Despite coming from a family of restaurateurs, Lum cannot cook. She embarks on a road trip to learn the skills needed to revive her family's Chinese restaurant.
November 13 marks the busiest day of the month with three new releases. The heist drama '12 12 12' centers on a raid on a bank vault in Zurich. Anthony Mackie plays a disgraced FBI agent and Jamie Dornan plays a career criminal in a cat-and-mouse game. Each episode covers three specific time periods: the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist, and the 12 days that follow.
Also arriving on November 13 is 'Being Heumann,' a drama based on true events. The film, directed by Siân Heder, follows Judy Heumann in 1977. She leads a coalition of activists in a protest that becomes the longest occupation of a federal building in US history. Ruth Madeley plays Heumann, and Mark Ruffalo portrays the opposing bureaucrat. The same day brings the family special 'Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy,' in which Snoopy attempts to get off Santa's naughty list.
The month ends on November 25 with 'Way of the Warrior Kid.' Jude Hill plays Marc, a bullied middle schooler, while Chris Pratt plays his uncle Jake, a Navy SEAL recovering from an injury. The film is based on the novel by Jocko Willink and directed by McG.
Several current shows will also add new episodes. 'Brothers' and 'Small Prophets' continue through November 4. 'Knife Edge' runs through November 6, 'Where's Wanda?' through December 9, and 'Nocturne' through December 25. Apple TV costs $14.99 per month and is available in the Apple One bundle.
