Apple TV subscribers can now watch three new original films, including a heist thriller series, a film based on true events and the first of two holiday specials coming to the platform this season. Watch the trailers below.
Apple TV previews sometimes overlap, giving subscribers multiple new titles to watch on the same day. Tonight, however, the platform sees a triple debut.
Being Heumann
The first is “Being Heumann,” which tells the true story of how Judy Heumann led a 1977 protest that led to the longest occupation of a federal building in U.S. history.
The film is directed by Siân Heder, whose previous film, “CODA,” earned Apple its first Academy Award for Best Picture, as well as winning Best Adapted Screenplay for Heder and Best Supporting Actor for Troy Kotsur.
The “Being Heumann” premiere also marks the debut of Apple TV’s new Sign Language accessibility feature, which allows viewers to watch select titles with an American Sign Language (ASL) or British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter appearing in the corner of the screen.
In addition to “Being Heumann,” the film is also available on “F1 The Movie,” with “Greyhound” and “Way of the Warrior Kid” getting support later this year. The latter will debut on November 25th.

12 12 12
The first two episodes of Apple’s highly anticipated thriller series “12 12 12” are now available.
Starring Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Brave New World) and Jamie Dornan (Belfast), the series also features Patrick Fabian (Better Call Saul) and Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country), among others.
Here’s Apple TV on the new show, which will release new episodes every Friday through December 25:
Each episode of “12 12 12” takes place along three timelines of a heist: the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist and the 12 days afterward. The series follows a disgraced FBI agent (Anthony Mackie) and an American career criminal (Jamie Dornan) as they play a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe. At the center of it all is the daring and epic bank vault raid deep in the streets of Zurich.

Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy
The first of two holiday specials coming to Apple TV this season, “Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy” is now also available for streaming, the other being “Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift,” which arrives on December 4.
The premiere marks the latest release under Apple’s ongoing partnership with Peanuts and joins a growing collection of original Peanuts productions, along with classics like “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”
In fact, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” can be streamed for free on the platform this weekend, meaning even those without an Apple TV subscription can watch it.
Returning to “Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy,” it follows Snoopy as he tries to get off Santa’s naughty list in the 12 days leading up to Christmas, learning along the way that “there’s more to Christmas than just receiving presents.”
