This fall brings a wave of new shows and movies to watch in September 2025 on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV Plus and other major streaming service. We're highlighting the biggest, buzziest new shows and movies premiering this month. Whether you’re craving the return of quirky detectives in "Only Murders in the Building" season 5, the sharp newsroom drama of "The Morning Show" season 4, or the spy action of "Slow Horses" season 5, there’s no shortage of big titles.
They also include returning favorites "Wednesday" season 2 part 2 and "Gen V" season 2," as well as new spinoffs "The Paper" (from "The Office") and "House of Guinness" (from "Peaky Blinders"). Whether you want mystery, scandal or just a good laugh, this month's lineup has you covered. Here's our guide on what to watch in September 2025.
‘The Runarounds’ (Sept. 1, Prime Video)
Another scrappy band of North Carolina youths are chasing money and success, only instead of golden treasures, they’re after platinum records: Prime Video’s “The Runarounds” is the latest from “Outer Banks” creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, and it was both inspired by and stars the real-life band of the same name who once performed on that aforementioned treasure-hunting Netflix series. (Season three, in case you Pogues fans forgot.)
The teen drama sees a group of Wilmington high schoolers come together the summer after graduation to form a rock band and make their musical dreams come true. Along with rock ‘n roll hijinks (the series will feature original music from the group), the usual coming-of-age complications arise, from romantic entanglements to rough family dynamics.
Along with IRL bandmates William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock and Jesse Golliher, “The Runarounds” cast will include Brooklyn Decker, Maximo Salas, Marley Aliah, Hayes MacArthur, Mark Wystrach and Shea Pritchard. — Christina Izzo
Premieres Sept. 1 on Prime Video
‘Wednesday’ season 2 part 2 (Sept. 3, Netflix)
The first half of “Wednesday” season 2 closed with a dramatic cliffhanger: Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) performed a rescue amidst a violent outcast uprising at Willow Hill. Amidst chaos caused by a blackout, the villainous Judi Spannagel (Heather Matarazzo) reveals her experiments giving “normies” dangerous abilities. In the aftermath, Wednesday is thrown from a window by Tyler (Hunter Doohan) in his Hyde form.
Of course, she’s not dead. In the second half, Wednesday lies critically injured in a hospital bed as new crises unfurl. The former principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) appears as a spectral guide, helping Wednesday navigate the fallout of the Willow Hill escape and the LOIS experiment catastrophe.
Still reeling from the attack, Wednesday must confront Tyler’s instability and fight to regain her fractured psychic abilities — all while protecting Enid (Emma Myers) from her worrying fate. — Alix Blackburn
Premieres Sept. 3 on Netflix
‘NCIS: Tony and Ziva’ (Sept. 4, Paramount Plus)
"NCIS: Tony & Ziva" is setting out to prove that romance isn't dead, at least in the "NCIS" world. This spinoff finds Michael Weatherly and Coté de Pablo back in action. It's been a decade since Ziva’s reported death, and she's back running a Paris-based security firm and reunited with both Tony and the couple's daughter Tali.
But things won't stay idyllic for long. The happy family's new life shatters when a frame-up for a high-stakes financial crime forces the trio to flee across Europe, dodging Interpol and some particularly irritating old enemies.
Though this is a typical "NCIS" tale, this time around it's set to mix undercover spy work, road-movie humor, and the long-promised “Tiva” romance fans have been waiting for in droves. The 10-episode season premieres on Paramount+ on Sept. 4, with the first three installments dropping opening day and new episodes rolling out weekly through October 23. — Brittany Vincent
Premieres Sept. 4 on Paramount Plus
‘The Paper’ (Sept. 4, Peacock)
Back in 2013, a documentary crew stopped documenting what went on in the Dunder Mifflin offices out in Scranton, Pennsylvania, when “The Office” rolled credits for the last time… but now that very same filmmaking crew has found their next subjects. In Peacock’s new spinoff (from “The Office” co-creator Greg Daniels and Michael Koman), the cameras start rolling at Enervate, who are the (not-so-proud) owners of the historic Midwestern newspaper, the Toledo Truth-Teller.
Newcomer Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson) has arrived on the scene, hoping to bring the paper back to prominence: cue a chaotic, underdog comedy story that’ll see us getting to know a whole set of fresh faces (and catching up with one returning “The Office” star) across 10 episodes, all dropping at once. If you’re looking for laughs, this could be your first binge-watch of the month. — Martin Shore
Premieres Sept. 4 on Peacock
‘Highest 2 Lowest’ (Sept. 5, Apple TV Plus)
Some actor-director duos you simply have to show up for: De Niro and Scorsese. Stone and Lanthimos. Murphy and Nolan. And, yes, Washington and Lee. Following “Mo' Better Blues” (1990), “Malcolm X” (1992), “He Got Game” (1998) and “Inside Man” (2006), “Highest 2 Lowest” is the latest Denzel-and Spike pairing, a bold American reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 Japanese film “High and Low.”
Premiering on Apple TV+ on Friday, September 5 (following a theatrical release on August 15 by A24), the crime drama sees Washington as David King, a mega-successful music mogul in New York City who is on the brink of buying back majority ownership in the record label he founded.
However, on the day the deal is set to go through, King receives a ransom call from kidnappers demanding $17.5 million in exchange for his son. What follows is a race-against-time thriller that will see Washington’s character confronted by painful moral truths. — CI

Mark Ruffalo takes the lead as Tom Brandis, a former priest now working as an FBI agent, drawn into a wave of brutal robberies orchestrated by Robbie (Tom Pelphrey), a suburban dad hiding a dangerous double life.
When their paths cross, sorrow, rage, and reckless choices ignite, pulling families and communities into the fallout. Joined by Emilia Jones, Thuso Mbedu, and Raúl Castillo, "Task" delivers a gritty, character-focused drama that lingers long after it ends. — Kelly Woo

‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’ season 3 (Sept. 7, AMC)
Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) — once more cast adrift in a world ravaged by walkers — find themselves landing not in America but on the sun-baked coasts of Spain, far from home and facing new threats.
Dreaming of a return to familiarity and loved ones, they instead become entangled in the arcane workings of a local village ruled by a corrupt system where protection comes at a perilous cost — women exchanged for supposed safety.
As they navigate this alien landscape, the duo also encounters Antonio (Eduardo Noriega), a figure whose bond with Carol evolves under strain, while Daryl confronts the expanding horror of the apocalypse in its many forms across land and society. — AB

As danger mounts, they witness the city split between gritty crime and extravagant ambition, while Charles’s romantic entanglement with a suspect raises the stakes even higher. — AB

Laura (Robin Wright) looks like she leads a perfect life; she’s got a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel (Laurie Davidson). When Daniel brings Cherry (“House of the Dragon’s” Olivia Cooke) home for the first time, that perfect life is turned on its head.

Yee-haw! Could there ever be a "wrong" Paris when one is home to the Eiffel Tower and the other to horses, ranches, and hot cowboys? Apparently! "The Wrong Paris" flips your usual dating show fantasy on its head. Dawn (Miranda Cosgrove) packs her passport for what she thinks is a reality TV romance in Paris, France, only to touch down in Paris, Texas.
Determined to get voted off and buy a ticket home, she schemes to sabotage every moment until the show’s cowboy bachelor (Pierson Fodé) actually turns out to be worth sticking around for. So Dawn might have found herself in the wrong location geographically, but in the right location for love ... and all of those other romantic tropes. — BV

New faces, including Marion Cotillard’s cunning Celine Dumont and Boyd Holbrook’s charismatic podcaster, shake up the newsroom, while returning favorites Jon Hamm, Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass are up to their usual scheming. It’s classic “Morning Show” drama. — KW

Taylor Sheridan’s crime drama is back for its third season in late September, and it sounds like Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) is about to face his biggest challenge yet. While his empire is growing, so too is his threat level, and, naturally, that means Dwight and his unlikely crew encounter new crises.
This time, trouble finds Dwight in the form of the Dunmires, who Paramount describes as “his most dangerous adversaries in Tulsa yet.” They’re a powerful old-money family who don’t play by old-world rules, and they’re about to force Dwight to fight to protect his loved ones and everything he’s built for himself out in Oklahoma so far. — MS

Don’t expect this to put a bow on things, though: even though showrunner Will Smith’s departing the show after this season, Apple has already renewed “Slow Horses” through to season 7, so we’ll be seeing plenty more from the Slough House crew yet. — MS

Arisu plunges into a Borderland that feels bigger, stranger, and crueler than the arena he thought he’d escaped. New faces lurk behind every challenge and the stakes are much higher than before. Of course, that's always seemed to be the case with each new set of games in the "Alice in Borderland" world.
With love on the line and memories bleeding through the cracks, Arisu will have to weigh out whether a second escape is even possible or if the Borderland was never finished with him at all. Knowing this cryptic series, he's probably in for a new world of pain. — BV

The eight-episode season will chart the aftereffects of that monumental loss on Guinness’s four adult children, Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn) and Ben (Fionn O'Shea), as well as the personal and professional pressures of the siblings having to work together to maintain their legacy as one of the country’s most successful and enduring dynasties. — CI
