Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh‘s new movie Mayday is out now!
The film started streaming on September 4, 2026 on Apple TV. It is not a conventional theater release, but rather a streaming-only debut, meaning you can watch it at home right now if you are an Apple TV subscriber.
Described as a buddy comedy, Mayday follows Ryan and Kenneth‘s characters as they team up during a top-secret mission that implodes and leaves him stranded behind enemy lines.
Here’s the synopsis shared by Apple.
Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh team up in “Mayday,” a genre-bending, action-packed buddy comedy that flips the spy thriller on its head. When hotshot U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly (Reynolds) is sent on a top-secret mission into Russian territory at the height of the Cold War, the operation implodes, leaving him stranded behind enemy lines. Discovered by Nikolai Ustinov (Branagh), a gruff ex-KGB agent with a penchant for American culture, Troy thinks he’s toast — but could an unlikely alliance between the two lead to Troy’s rescue and a bond neither saw coming?
Maria Bakalova (Borat, The Apprentice, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Marcin Doroci?ski (The Queen’s Gambit, Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One), and David Morse (St. Elsewhere, The Green Miles, John Adams, House, Treme) also star.
Mayday is rated PG-13 and has a runtime of 1 hour and 51 minutes (111 minutes).
Apple TV is currently offering a 7-day free trial, and then the service costs $14.99/month in the United States.
