Apple TV adds built-in ASL and BSL sign language interpretation for selected Apple Original titles
Apple has launched a Sign Language Interpretation option on Apple TV for a limited set of titles, starting with the biopic Being Heumann on Friday, November 13, 2026, according to the article. The interpreter appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen, is enabled as a setting rather than a separate film, and is designed with a group of DASLs (Directors of Artistic Sign Language). Apple says it is not using AI-generated interpreters. F1 gets ASL and BSL, and Way of the Warrior Kid and Greyhound are scheduled for later this year. Apple's support page confirms the November 13, 2026 availability date and the Sign Language toggle in the TV app settings (support.apple.com). The article ties the feature to iOS 27.2, while SlashGear reports it as part of tvOS 27.2 (slashgear.com). This is accessibility product news with no threat, vulnerability or exploitation involved, so the criticity is low.

The option is turned on in the TV app settings, and titles that support it carry a sign language icon next to closed captions and audio descriptions, with a languages entry that lists the available sign languages (support.apple.com). Supported titles are grouped in a "Movies & Shows with American Sign Language" editorial collection and can be found by searching terms such as "with ASL" (techcrunch.com).
