Apple TV 2026: 5 New Movies to Stream This Year

Apple TV is poised for a significant content push in 2026, adding five original films to its lineup, according to announcements this week. While the streaming service consistently ranks as a top pick for quality content, particularly its series, Apple is bolstering its film offerings with a diverse range of projects, avoiding sequels, and remakes.

The first release, “Outcome,” scheduled for April 10, 2026, marks a departure for actor Keanu Reeves, starring in a comedy-drama written and directed by Jonah Hill. The film centers on Reef, a Hollywood star played by Reeves, grappling with the threat of compromising video footage from his past. Hill also appears in the film alongside Cameron Diaz, creating a high-profile cast. Currently, no official trailer has been released, with only AI-generated clips circulating.

Summer will bring “The Dink,” debuting on July 24, 2026, a comedy starring Jake Johnson and Ed Harris. The film follows Dusty Boyd (Johnson), a former tennis pro seeking his father’s (Harris) approval by attempting to undermine support for pickleball at his local club. A shoulder injury leads him to embrace the sport, with the support of his partner Candace, played by Mary Steenburgen, resulting in comedic chaos.

Ryan Reynolds will star in “Mayday,” slated for release on September 24, 2026. The action-comedy follows Lieutenant Troy ‘Assassin’ Brennan as he undertakes a secret mission over Russian airspace, ultimately crash-landing in a remote, snowy wilderness. A teaser image has been released, hinting at the film’s blend of action and humor. The project has been in development for several years under various titles.

October 9, 2026, will see the release of “Matchbox: The Movie,” based on the popular Mattel toy line. The film features John Cena as Sean, a former CIA agent who enlists a group of friends for a mission. After successfully completing the task, the group is kidnapped and framed, forcing them to reunite and clear their names in a globe-trotting adventure.

Rounding out the year is “Way of the Warrior Kid,” arriving on November 20, 2026. Starring Chris Pratt, the film tells the story of Marc, a middle schooler struggling with bullying and academics, whose life is transformed by a summer visit from his Navy SEAL uncle, Jake. Directed by McG, known for films like “Charlie’s Angels” and “Terminator Salvation,” the film is expected to be a family-friendly action epic.
