Apple TV is heading into November with a diverse slate of new releases, including a major sci-fi drama from one of television’s most respected creators, new seasons of ongoing series, and several original films. The platform—now dropping the “+” from its name—is clearly leaning into a mix of prestige storytelling and broader entertainment as it rounds out the year.
Leading the lineup is Pluribus, premiering November 7. Created by Vince Gilligan, best known for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, the series blends science fiction with dark humor. It follows “the most miserable person on Earth” who faces the paradoxical task of saving the world from happiness—a setup that suggests Gilligan’s signature mix of irony and moral complexity.
On November 12, Palm Royale returns for its second season. The comedic drama picks up after protagonist Maxine’s public breakdown left her ostracized from Palm Beach high society. As she plots her comeback, the series delves into themes of ambition, deceit, and social hierarchy, all wrapped in the show’s glossy 1960s aesthetic.
Come See Me in the Good Light arrives November 14, offering a personal and emotional counterpoint to the month’s scripted fare. The documentary follows poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley as they navigate a terminal cancer diagnosis with humor, creativity, and deep affection. Early descriptions suggest a tender exploration of art, love, and resilience.
On November 21, Apple debuts The Family Plan 2, an action-comedy sequel starring Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan. This time, the family’s European vacation takes a chaotic turn when a figure from Dan’s past, played by Kit Harington, disrupts their holiday. The film promises a blend of family drama, slapstick chaos, and action-heavy escapades across scenic locations.
Rounding out the month are two November 26 premieres. Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age expands the acclaimed nature documentary series from producers Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton, featuring narration by Tom Hiddleston and music by Hans Zimmer. This new chapter moves beyond the dinosaurs to explore the megafauna that dominated the frozen landscapes of the Ice Age. That same day, WondLa returns for its third and final season. The animated family adventure concludes with a large-scale conflict between humans and aliens as Eva fights to restore balance to her world, Orbona.
Several ongoing series will continue dropping new episodes through November and beyond, including The Morning Show(through November 19), The Last Frontier (through December 5), Loot (through December 10), and Down Cemetery Road (through December 10).
Apple TV’s November schedule demonstrates the company’s ongoing push to balance auteur-driven storytelling with mainstream appeal—pairing a high-concept drama like Pluribus with accessible titles such as The Family Plan 2 and family fare like WondLa. The variety reflects Apple’s continued effort to expand its audience while maintaining a curated, cinematic feel across its programming.
