The Best New Movies and Shows On Apple TV in November 2025
Apple TV might’ve dropped the “+” from their brand just in time for November, but that doesn’t mean their quality of content has changed one bit.
In addition to a fresh installment of a hit nature documentary, the streamer will also premiere an original documentary that’s really a love story about poets, and they’re hitting us with a new Mark Wahlberg movie. We’ll also see a new season of the popular Kristen Wiig series Palm Royale, the final season of animated sci-fi series WondLa, and the season premiere of the highly anticipated new series from Breaking Bad‘s Vince Gilligan, Pluribus—I’m particularly stoked about this one.
These are the best new Apple TV movies and shows coming in November 2025.
Pluribus (Season Premiere)
Famed showrunner Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is back with a new series, and this time, Rhea Seehorn is the star.
Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Pluribus is a genre-bending sci-fi drama that is also a dark comedy. It follows Carol Sturka (Seehorn), an historical romance author who’s also the most miserable person on Earth. When an unexplained virus seeps into the world’s population and transforms people into annoyingly content optimists, Carol is the only one unaffected. As the sole voice of dissension, she finds herself stuck in a world that wants not only to understand but also to replicate her immunity. As such, she’s tasked with saving the world from … wait for it … happiness.
Pluribus makes its two-episode premiere on Friday, November 7, 2025.
Palm Royale (Season 2)
Kristen Wiig returns in Palm Royale as Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons, a have-not who finds herself striving to claim a place with the haves of Palm Beach, Florida, and there aren’t many lengths she wouldn’t go to to get there.
Season two will posit Maxine as a social pariah in the aftermath of her very scandalous, very public breakdown in season one. Nothing stops her, though, as she works to regain her status in high society through cunning and determination. Furthermore, she aims to prove she has what it takes to rule the town, but will she even want to after uncovering the secrets, lies, and felonies the town isn’t just built on but thrives on?
Palm Royale, season two, premieres November 12, 2025, with one episode. The remaining nine episodes will drop weekly on Wednesdays.
Come See Me in the Good Light
A poignant, surprisingly funny love story about poets, Come See Me in the Good Light is a documentary about coming to terms with heartbreak, heavy realizations, and the true beauty that exists in loving relationships.
Based on the story of Colorado Poet Laureate Andrea Gibson and their partner, spoken word poet Megan Falley, the film explores how the couple faced Gibson’s terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis with honesty, art, laughter, and love. It follows Gibson as she works towards her final performance, where they use their spoken-word skills to breathe life into an otherwise grim topic: death.
Expect transformations of pain into purpose, grief into laughter and unwavering love, and mortality into a moving celebration of resilience.
Come See Me in the Good Light premieres on Friday, November 14, 2025.
The Family Plan 2
Mark Wahlberg has run the gamut of pop culture, all the way from the Funky Bunch to Family Man, and as a Gen-Xer, I must say, it’s weird.
In The Family Plan 2, Wahlberg stars as Dad Dan, whose name gives me flashbacks to Adrien Brody’s character in the underrated Jesse Eisenberg film Manodrome. Dan has planned the perfect holiday vacation for his family, which includes wife Jessica (Michelle Monaghan) and their three kids, and it’s all hunky-dory … until Jon Snow shows up.
Kit Harington plays a mysterious someone from Dan’s past who arrives with unfinished business, looking to engage in an international game of cat-and-mouse. You’ll enjoy watching Dan and his family bicker and bond as, per the logline, they battle their way through a series of bank heists, holiday hijinks, and car chases amid some traditional, scenic European terrain.
The Family Plan 2 premieres Friday, November 21, 2025.
Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age
I’m a huge fan of Apple TV nature documentaries, so I’m stoked about Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age. Mark my words: You will be both educated and entertained beyond expectation.
As a sprawling new—third—installment to the award-winning natural history series, Ice Age will give us a peek into a dramatic new era of prehistoric life. The five-part docuseries is narrated by Tom Hiddleston, who also narrated the mesmerizing Apple TV documentary Earthsounds, and will place us millions of years after the extinction of the dinosaurs, smack-dab in the middle of an era shaped by ice and the intense fight for survival.
Expect to meet the snow sloths of the Pleistocene and experience the rise of a new cast of giants: the megafauna.
Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age premieres just in time for Thanksgiving on Wednesday, November 26, 2025.
WondLa, Season Three
Animated kids and family sci-fi series WondLa is wrapping up its run with this third and final self-proclaimed epic season.
Season three will see war erupt between aliens and humans. As Orbona’s fate hangs in the balance, Eva sets out on her most dangerous mission to date. It’s up to her to recapture the stolen Heart of the Forest, and she’ll have to risk her life to do so. As she embarks on her journey, she calls upon old friends and unlikely allies to join her in making one last stand. However, to save Orbona, Eva must do a lot more than just find the Heart. She must also bridge two divided worlds and finally prove the ultimate truth: “There is no ‘them.’ There’s only us.”
WondLa, season three, premieres November 26, 2025, with six half-hour episodes.
November isn’t just bringing forth new titles on the streaming giant. You can also catch new episodes of The Last Frontier, Loot, Down Cemetery Road, and The Morning Show each week throughout the entire month.
