I just updated to OS26 on all my devices and it doesn’t matter what Apple ID in my household or device a huge amount of movie covers in Apple TV app are in French. Hope it is just a bug, but anyone else having this issue?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 26
What is your country or country-like region (for your Apple Account)? Does this country have a significant French-speaking part of the population? Then it might be intentionally.
The movie artwork is supplied by the same studios as the movie, per country or region. Apple just specifies that they want 24×36 posters (again, after an all 16:9 period).
You can submit your feedback comments, and then Apple may be able to relay any concerns to the studios.
Please submit feedback to Apple -> Feedback - Apple TV App - Apple. Some of mine are in French and some have no titles at all when I click on details. Others are not even the movie in the image. F1 comes up as and plays as Ex Machina and Ex Machina is Elvis … and so on. The odd few are correct,
Are you in Canada? French is spoken here but mainly in eastern Canada in Quebec. The majority of us speak English Nationwide.
This is the movie Contagion on my iPad. No title.
I submitted my feedback as well. I see my iPad mini is the same way with the French. I just tested deleting the app and reinstalling from the App Store and this did not fix it. However I’ve not yet updated the mini again to iPadOS 26.0.1 My audio issues got fixed! That was really bad. I’m more annoyed I lost my aerial screensavers. It’s taking forever to acquire new ones.
It’s not fixed for mine either on iPadOS 26. tvOS 26 was ok for me. Did you let them know? -> Feedback - Apple TV App - Apple
Exact same issue, I’ve been talking with support over phone/email about it. No trouble shooting has worked, and I’ve been told it’s been escalated to engineers and that’s all I can do.
It’s really really annoying. This needs to be fixed asap, especially since they took away the title of the film underneath the tiles that they used to have so literally the only way to tell what movie it is is from the posters.
Just FYI I have factory reset my device and installed the tvOS 26.0.1 update and it did not fix this problem. All the posters that were French before loaded in the same way unfortunately.
Thank you for your response. Yes we are in Canada and we have people that speak French. I hope it gets fixed it makes my library look so weird.
Here’s another example of how it’s all muddled up. The Art Work is in English but when I tap on details it’s French in the title
Hi there, yes I did send in feedback. Thank you for your response. Nothing changed in 26.0.1
Yah it’s definitely not all movie covers but enough to be annoying
Pretty annoying that in my Library Weapons has the French poster but in the store in the French section it has the English poster.
