Overview
- Apple TV subscribers and app-watchers spotted the new 'Great Movies Available Now on Apple TV' carousel on Thursday, August 13, 2026, which surfaced a batch of licensed films available to stream at no extra cost.
- The U.S. selection contains 19 films, including Titanic, The Martian, Arrival, The Sixth Sense and The Bourne Identity, while other territories show smaller, different lists.
- Apple has not said whether the additions are permanent or a limited-time promotion, and the company is not promoting the change outside the Apple TV app.
- Many of the titles were previously available only to buy or rent and are now labeled 'Just Added' for subscribers to stream across Apple TV apps and the web; Apple TV costs $12.99 per month or $99 per year in the U.S.
- The move follows past temporary catalog boosts such as a 2024 addition of 51 movies and fits Apple’s broader strategy of prioritizing originals while using occasional licensed drops to add subscriber value.
