Apple TV’s “Way of the Warrior Kid,” is a new original film based on the bestselling novel by former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink. The inspiring drama is set to premiere globally on Apple TV on November 25, 2026. The story follows Marc (Jude Hill), a middle schooler struggling with bullying, academics, and self-confidence. His summer takes a transformative turn when his injured uncle Jake (Chris Pratt), a decorated Navy SEAL, moves in to recuperate. Rather than simply teaching his nephew to fight, Jake launches “Operation Warrior Kid” — a rigorous, SEAL-inspired program that builds character, resilience, and real courage. Along the way, both uncle and nephew confront their own personal challenges.
The film also stars Linda Cardellini as Marc’s mom, Sarah, and features Levi McConaughey in the cast. McG (Charlie’s Angels, Terminator Salvation) directs from a screenplay by Will Staples (Without Remorse, The Right Stuff). “Way of the Warrior Kid” blends heartfelt family drama with themes of discipline, mental toughness, and personal growth —c ore elements from Willink’s popular book series beloved by parents, educators, and young readers. This marks another high-profile addition to Apple TV’s 2026 slate of star-driven original films. With Chris Pratt leading the charge and a timely message about overcoming adversity, “Way of the Warrior Kid” has the potential to resonate with families and audiences of all ages.
