Ryan Reynolds-Kenneth Branagh's 'Mayday' gets release date
Get ready: Mayday, a new action-comedy film starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh, lands on Apple TV+ September 4, 2026.
The first-look image just dropped at Apple's Press Day in Santa Monica.
What to expect from 'Mayday'
Mayday is a buddy comedy with a twist on classic spy thrillers.
Reynolds plays a US Navy pilot stranded in Russia during the Cold War, where he teams up with Branagh's ex-KGB agent who's got a soft spot for American pop culture.
Expect unlikely friendships and plenty of laughs.
The cast also features Maria Bakalova, Marcin Dorocinski, and David Morse.
Behind the scenes
The film comes from John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (the duo behind Game Night), with Reynolds also producing through his company Maximum Effort.
Mayday will stream only on Apple TV+, so no theater runs—just straight to your screen.
