Apple TV Debuts Three New Original Projects
Apple TV subscribers can now access three new original titles. The platform has simultaneously released a crime thriller, a film based on real events, and a holiday-themed animation. This update further diversifies Apple's expanding library, which already features hits such as Ted Lasso and Severance.
12 12 12: A New Crime Thriller
The new series 12 12 12 is generating the most interest. Starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan, the plot centres on the robbery of a Zurich bank vault. The narrative unfolds across three distinct timeframes: 12 months of planning, 12 hours of the heist itself, and the 12 days that follow. The series depicts a confrontation between a former FBI agent and a criminal, with the action spanning across Europe. New episodes will be released every Friday until December 25.
A Socially Significant Premiere and New Technology
The platform has also debuted Being Heumann, a film dedicated to the life of Judy Heumann and the historic 1977 protests. The film is directed by Siân Heder, who won an Oscar for the film CODA. Alongside this premiere, Apple has introduced a new accessibility feature: a sign language interpreter. Viewers can now see an American Sign Language (ASL) or British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter in the corner of the screen, making the platform more inclusive. This feature is also currently available for F1 The Movie.
Festive Spirit with Peanuts
For the holiday season, Apple TV has launched Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy for younger viewers. This project is part of a collaboration between Apple and Peanuts, chronicling Snoopy’s adventures. Additionally, users can watch the classic A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for free as part of the platform's holiday activities. On December 4, another special release, Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift, will be added to the platform.
Apple TV is available via individual subscription or as part of the Apple One bundle. These updates represent a significant step for Apple in maintaining its competitiveness in the streaming market by offering users both entertainment and socially significant content.
