Apple has announced the streaming premiere date for their family drama WAY OF THE WARRIOR KID, which will launch on its Apple TV platform globally on November 20th, 2026.
Way of the Warrior Kid is directed by McG and is based on the novel by Jocko Willink. It stars Chris Pratt, Linda Cardellini, Jude Hill, Ava Torres, Levi McConaughey, Darien Sills-Evans, Carl McDowell, and Parker Young.
In the film, middle school has been a nightmare for Marc (Hill), a good kid who’s bullied by his classmates and feels like he’s behind in everything, from academics to P.E. to just making friends. That changes when his injured Uncle Jake (Pratt), a decorated Navy SEAL, comes to spend the summer and recuperate with Marc and his mom, Sarah (Cardellini).
To help Marc defend himself, Jake devises an ambitious program he calls “Operation Warrior Kid” based on his SEAL training. Instead of teaching his nephew how to fight, Jake shows Marc what real courage is, facing down his own demons along the way.
