Apple TV just debuted three new originals, including a heist thriller series
Apple TV subscribers can now watch three new originals, including a heist thriller series, a film based on true events, and the first of two holiday specials coming to the platform this season. Watch the trailers below.
Apple TV premieres sometimes overlap, giving subscribers multiple new titles to watch on the same day. Tonight, however, the platform is seeing a triple debut.
Up first is “Being Heumann,” which tells the true story of how Judy Heumann led a 1977 protest that resulted in the longest occupation of a federal building in US history.
The movie is directed by Siân Heder, whose previous film, “CODA,” earned Apple its first Academy Award for Best Picture, in addition to winning Best Adapted Screenplay for Heder and Best Supporting Actor for Troy Kotsur.
The premiere of “Being Heumann” also marks the debut of Apple TV’s new sign language accessibility feature, which allows viewers to watch select titles with an American Sign Language (ASL) or British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter appearing in the corner of the screen.
In addition to “Being Heumann,” the feature is also available for “F1 The Movie,” with “Greyhound” and “Way of the Warrior Kid” gaining support later this year. The latter premieres November 25.
The first two episodes of Apple’s anticipated heist thriller series “12 12 12” are now available.
Starring Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Brave New World) and Jamie Dornan (Belfast), the series also features Patrick Fabian (Better Call Saul) and Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country), among others.
Here’s Apple TV on the new show, which will release new episodes every Friday through December 25:
Each episode of “12 12 12” unfolds across three timelines of a heist: the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist and the 12 days following it. The series follows a disgraced FBI agent (Anthony Mackie) and an American career criminal (Jamie Dornan) as they play a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe. At the center of it all is the daring, epic raid on a bank vault deep beneath the streets of Zurich.
