All the Movies and TV Shows Apple TV+ Will Release Nov. 1
Brace yourselves, because TV as you know it may never be the same after this week. We rounded up all the movies and TV shows Apple TV+ will be releasing Nov. 1 (when Apple TV+ goes live) and we’re predicting quite a few binge-sessions ahead.
Don’t get us wrong: We’re not exactly dying to pay for another streaming subscription (and giving up Netflix is not an option). But some of these titles look so good, we may just have to take the leap.
If you really don’t want to commit to a new service, we have more good news: Apple TV+ is offering a free 7-day trial before subscription costs kick in. That means you could get a full week of new releases featuring Jennifer Aniston, Jason Momoa, Jane Krakowski, and more, all for free.
When Apple TV+ launches this Friday, we’ll finally start to find out just how disruptive these new streaming services will be. If these Apple TV originals become instant hits, subscribers will likely flood in — but if they’re met with mixed reviews, users might not be tempted enough to add on the service.
So, which movies and shows is Apple TV+ leading with at this crucial time? Check out the full list of Nov. 1 releases and their official descriptions below.
