Apple TV charges subscribers $14.99 per month, a price point that remains the baseline for its streaming service as it introduces a new slate of content for November. The month's schedule includes a returning comedy, a heist thriller, a historical drama, and several family-oriented features.

The programming calendar begins on November 4 with the second season of 'Stick.' Created by Jason Keller, the sports comedy follows Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a former professional golfer whose career ended two decades ago. After a divorce, Cahill works at a sporting goods store in Indiana. He discovers Santi, a 17-year-old golf prodigy played by Peter Dager, and decides to train the young man to secure his own future.

Two days later, on November 6, the docuseries 'Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook' premieres. The series tracks comedian Nora Lum, known professionally as Awkwafina, who comes from a family of restaurateurs but lacks cooking skills. She travels on a culinary road trip to master the craft and attempt to revive her family's Chinese restaurant.

November 13 serves as the peak release date for the month. The heist drama '12 12 12' airs, featuring Anthony Mackie as a disgraced FBI agent and Jamie Dornan as an American career criminal. The narrative spans three timelines: the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the robbery, and the 12 days of aftermath. The central plot involves a raid on a bank vault located deep beneath the streets of Zurich.

Also arriving on November 13 is 'Being Heumann,' a drama based on true events. The film is set in 1977 and stars Ruth Madeley as Judy Heumann, a disabled woman who leads a coalition of outsiders. Their protest becomes the longest occupation of a federal building in American history. Mark Ruffalo portrays the bureaucrat opposing them. Siân Heder, who directed the Academy Award winner 'CODA,' helms this project. The family special 'Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy' also debuts that day, depicting Snoopy's efforts to get off Santa's naughty list before Christmas.

The month concludes on November 25 with 'Way of the Warrior Kid.' Jude Hill plays Marc, a bullied middle school student. Chris Pratt portrays his uncle Jake, a decorated Navy SEAL recovering from an injury. Jake creates a training program called 'Operation Warrior Kid' to teach Marc courage. Linda Cardellini plays Marc's mother. The film is directed by McG and adapted from a novel by Jocko Willink.

Existing series will also release new episodes. 'Brothers,' starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, and the British comedy 'Small Prophets' continue through November 4. The docuseries 'Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars' runs through November 6. The German dark comedy 'Where's Wanda?' airs through December 9, and the Liev Schreiber thriller 'Nocturne' continues through December 25.
