2026 has been a busy year for Apple's streaming service Apple TV. With new content releasing on the service weekly, there has been lots to watch from the all-new Widows' Bay that premiered in late April to the return of fan favourites Ted Lasso and Slow Horses that released later in the year.

Now, as we enter the final weeks of 2026, there is still more to watch from the all-new crime thriller Nocturne to the return of comedy Bad Monkey with Vince Vaughn.

Here's everything on Apple TV this Christmas period.

The series tells the story of Jonah Lynn (Liev Schreiber), an ex-soldier turned homicide detective who, tired of working the tough streets of Philadelphia, moves to a small town in western Pennsylvania for a quiet life. But, as the town and his family come under attack from the diabolically cunning serial killer Jurek Walter (Stephen Graham), Jonah must protect all that he holds dear. When the desperate search for Jurek’s last missing victim forces Jonah to send his surrogate daughter, FBI Agent Saga Bauer (Zazie Beetz), up against Jurek, how far will Jonah go?

Way of the Warrior Kid

Way of the Warrior Kid is a new Drama coming to Apple TV in late November starring Chris Pratt as an American Navy SEAL. He runs a program for a middle school student who feels behind in his education.

Middle school has been a nightmare for Marc (Jude Hill), a good kid who’s bullied by his classmates and feels like he’s behind in everything, from academics to P.E. to just making friends. That changes when his injured Uncle Jake (Chris Pratt), a decorated Navy SEAL, comes to spend the summer and recuperate with Marc and his mom, Sarah (Linda Cardellini). To help Marc defend himself, Jake devises an ambitious program he calls “Operation Warrior Kid” based on his SEAL training. Instead of teaching his nephew how to fight, Jake shows Marc what real courage is, facing down his own demons along the way. Based on the bestselling novel by former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, “Way of the Warrior Kid” is directed by McG (“Charlie’s Angels,” “Terminator Salvation”) from a screenplay by Will Staples (“Without Remorse,” “The Right Stuff”).
