When it comes to deciding what to watch, it can get overwhelming. Fast. There are so many options out there. Even if you keep it to just the best streaming services, there are dozens of new shows and movies added every day. Lucky for you, it's my job to know exactly what's out there. So I've compiled a TV guide on what to watch tonight.
I've gone through everything from Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc. I've scoured the best free streaming services like Tubi. I've even added some movies you might have missed in theaters that are finally available to buy or rent to stream at home.
So let's dive into it. Here are all the new movies and shows (and live events) you can stream tonight (September 2), and where to watch them. For more picks, check out these free Prime Video movies you can stream right now.

Top shows and movies to stream tonight
'The Runner' (2026) (Prime Video)
Genre: Action thriller movie
What's it about? Gal Gadot stars in "The Runner" as Maia Marten. She's a successful London lawyer whose morning jog takes a scary turn when she learns her son has been kidnapped. To see him again, she must race across London on foot, meeting the kidnapper's increasingly dangerous demands.
Why you need to watch it: Is this just "Speed" but without the fast-moving bus?
Yes. Yes, it is. But "Speed" is an awesome premise, so why not repeat it? If you like a fast-paced action flick, this movie, included free in your Prime subscription, is worth checking out.

'Reacher' season 4 (Prime Video)
Genre: Crime thriller series
What's it about? Alan Ritchson is back for another "Reacher" adventure. Season 4 kicked off with the titular former investigator witnessing the death of a woman (Karen Kwong-Chip) in a Philadelphia subway car. Now, he, a Philadelphia cop (Tamara Green) and the woman's brother (Christopher Rodriguez Marquette) have teamed up to learn why she took her own life. They just have to steer clear of the CIA and even more dangerous killers.
Why you need to watch it: I reviewed the "Reacher" season 4 premiere for Tom's Guide, and I loved it. The show sticks to what made the past three seasons a success, and Ritchson has never been more perfectly cast as the hulking yet witty Jack Reacher. I can't wait to watch episode 6 tonight.

'The Mandalorian and Grogu' (Disney+)
Genre: Science fiction movie
What's it about? Taking place after the Disney+ series "The Mandalorian," this "Star Wars" movie reprises Pedro Pascal and a cute baby Yoda puppet as our titular heroes. This time, they're taking down a mysterious Imperial warlord on the orders of New Republic leader Col. Ward (Sigourney Weaver).
Why you need to watch it: In my review of "The Mandalorian and Grogu," I didn't praise the film for much. It's really just "The Mandalorian" season 4 condensed into a 132-minute movie. But if you like seeing Grogu be adorable, this movie will suffice. And now that it's part of your Disney+ subscription, at least you won't pay extra for it.
