September 2026 is shaping up to be a monster month for streaming, with heavy hitters returning and fresh faces arriving across Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV+. Whether you're easing back into routine after summer or just looking for your next obsession, these platforms have you covered with a lineup that spans crime, horror, comedy, and spy thrills.
Crime and espionage take center stage
Netflix kicks things off with the highly anticipated second season of The Gentlemen, dropping September 3. Theo James and Kaya Scodelario are back, expanding their criminal empire far beyond British borders. The show's blend of sharp wit and high-stakes scheming made it a sleeper hit, and this season promises to raise the bar with international intrigue.
Over on Apple TV+, Gary Oldman returns as the scruffy, brilliant Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses season six, premiering September 16. The series has become a favorite for its dry humor and tense spycraft, and this new installment is expected to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. If you haven't caught up yet, now's the time to binge the earlier seasons.
Prime Video is also making a play for action fans with Neagley, the first spin-off of the Reacher universe, starring Maria Sten as the formidable Frances Neagley. The series lands September 16 and promises the same gritty, no-nonsense energy that made Reacher a hit. It's a smart move to expand that world, and Sten is more than capable of carrying her own show.
Horror anthologies and classic mysteries
Netflix continues its Monster anthology with Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, premiering September 17. After exploring Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez brothers, the series turns to one of America's most infamous unsolved cases. Expect the same meticulous, unsettling storytelling that has made the franchise a cultural touchstone.
Also on Netflix, El problema final arrives September 25, a literary adaptation starring José Coronado. Based on the novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, this Spanish-language production is a smart, classic mystery that should appeal to fans of cerebral whodunits. It's a welcome addition to the platform's international slate.
Disney+ is going all in on horror with the thirteenth season of American Horror Story, premiering September 25. This season is framed as a massive crossover, bringing back legends like Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson. For longtime fans, this is a dream come true, and for newcomers, it's a perfect entry point into the franchise's twisted universe.
Comedy and family fun
Apple TV+ lightens the mood with Brothers, a comedy starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, premiering September 23. The duo's real-life friendship translates to on-screen chemistry, and the show promises plenty of laughs and family entanglements. It's a feel-good option for those who need a break from the darker fare.
For those planning their viewing schedule, here's a quick rundown of key dates:
