"Made in Korea" returns with season 2, as Baek Ki-tae (Hyun Bin) has risen through the ranks of the KCIA and expanded his drug operations, but Jang Geon-young (Jung Woo-sung) hasn't given up the ghost yet. The former prosecutor has had nine years to plot his revenge, key to which is Ki-tae's younger brother, Baek Ki-hyun (Woo Do-hwan).

Here's how to watch “Made in Korea" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN.

Ki-hyun is no longer the impressionable kid at Ki-tae's beck and call. While his wealth and status have made the now-deputy director of the KCIA almost untouchable, Ki-hyun has been hardened by his experiences in the military, which have helped him forge his own moral values and gain considerable clout.

What ensues is a symbolic battle for the soul of the nation, recast as a political noir interrogating greed and social responsibility. For Ki-hyun, turning on Ki-tae is the hard choice but ultimately the right one, especially as his older brother is fully prepared to "cross the Han River" in the manner of Julius Caesar marching an army over the Rubicon in an act of civil war.

That "Made in Korea" S2 is set in 1979 is no accident, either. Although the show features fictional characters, it's informed by the political turmoil of the time — and this particular year ended with a military coup, following the assassination of president Park Chung-hee.

Wanda's arc goes from the sublime to the ridiculous in “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga", a "Snowfall" spinoff that jettisons dope for West Coast rap. Only, the "new gold rush", as Wanda describes it, turns out to be a far cry from the clean path she'd envisaged going in.

Here's how to watch “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga" online from anywhere with a VPN.

“The Drop: A Snowfall Saga" picks up in '90s LA, shortly after the events of the mother series, a subplot of which saw Wanda descend into and then recover from a harrowing crack cocaine addiction effectively enough to hold down a steady job working for Franklin.

It was a bruising arc that was as heartening as it was grounded, so to see her now as a highly-polished prospective music mogul at the very forefront of rap's journey into the mainstream requires a leap of the imagination. In addition to providing a semblance of continuity, however, it makes for a mouthwatering new venture.

Her cousin Lamar has a gift that gets her noticed, but Wanda can't resist the allure of talented but combustible local rapper Artillery, a move that blurs the lines between music and gang warfare. Notoriety may be good for business, but it places Lamar and Leon firmly in the crossfire.

A new month means there's no shortage of things to watch across the best streaming services, but narrowing down which movies are worth your time can quickly become a headache. That's why I'm here every weekend, highlighting the best new movies on streaming so you don't waste your precious down time scrolling.

Leading the pack this week is Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh in an '80s-style spy caper called "Mayday" on Apple TV. You can get your dose of baby Yoda in "Star Wars: the Mandalorian and Grogu" now that it's finally on Disney+. Or, for a silly LEGO-fied version of the show's familiar beats, look no further than "LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian." Over on HBO Max, millennials will love "The Robot Chicken Adult Swim Special" for a nostalgia flashbang that brings back your favorite characters from the last 25 years of Adult Swim. Meanwhile, Netflix just got some new nightmare fuel in the form of "Smile 2," a surprisingly competent sequel.

So without further ado, let's dive into the best new movies to watch this weekend on streaming.

'Mayday' (Apple TV)

The vibe: A cross between an '80s action movie and buddy comedy back in the U.S.S.R

Why you should watch it: "Mayday" is a solid spy caper that cashes in on nostalgia for glossy '80s action flicks. Set in 1987, it stars Ryan Reynolds as a hotshot U.S. Navy pilot whose flying high since the blockbuster success of "Top Gun." That is, until he gets shot down and stranded in the Russian wilderness during a top-secret Cold War mission over Soviet territory. To have any hope of getting home in one piece, he has to team up with Kenneth Branagh's gruff ex-KGB agent with a soft spot for American culture.

Watch "Mayday" on Apple TV+ now

'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' (Disney+)

The vibe: More shenanigans with the galaxy's dreamiest bounty hunter and his pint-sized companion

Why you should watch it: If you ask me, this is where "The Mandalorian and Grogu" should have premiered instead of in theaters. It feels like a mini "Mandalorian" marathon retrofitted to the big screen, which might explain why it was the lowest-grossing Star Wars movie in history. Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu take on a mission for the New Republic to rescue Rotta the Hutt (voiced by "The Bear's" Jeremy Allen White), Jabba's heir, from a rival crime syndicate to dig up some intel on an Imperial warlord. Their assignment spirals into a galaxy-spanning adventure filled with all the blaster fights and Force magic you'd expect of a Star Wars outing.

Watch "The Mandalorian and Grogu" on Disney+ now

‘LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian’ (Disney+)

The vibe: Even more Mando and Grogu shenanigans (this time with LEGO!)

Why you should watch it: The LEGO video game and movie adaptations should be blatant cash grabs, but the goofy sense of humor and genuine artistry (you can tell the animators had fun!) always manage to steal my heart nonetheless. This animated special covers the entire three-season saga of "The Mandalorian," featuring a returning voice cast that includes Amy Sedaris, Rosario Dawson, Timothy Olyphant and Katee Sackhoff. And of course, plenty of LEGO Baby Yoda cuteness to melt your heart.

‘The Robot Chicken Adult Swim Special’ (HBO Max)

The vibe: A nostalgia flashbang of Adult Swim's biggest shows (and the ones we all forgot about)

Why you should watch it: If, like me, you spent your formative years staying up way to late watching "Adult Swim," this 25th anniversary special is for you. In the trailer alone, I counted like five shows I haven't thought about in years — and some, like "Assy McGee," that should have stayed forgotten. Adult Swim's weirdest characters over the years from shows like "The Venture Bros.," "Smiling Friends," and "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" all meet up on a cruise to celebrate the occasion, brought to life through claymation a la "Robot Chicken." It all culminates in a comedic whodunit that eventually lands in court, and you know Harvey Birdman's prepared to take the case.

'Smile 2' (Netflix)

The vibe: A shockingly good sequel to get you into the Halloween spirit (don't worry, you don't need to see the first to follow along)

Why you should watch it: Naomi Scott stars as pop star Skye Riley, who's finally setting out on a world tour after a difficult year. Her comeback's thrown off course when she witnesses a horrifying death and starts to experience increasingly disturbing encounters with people who seem to be smiling at her. With her mental health in tatters, she struggles to figure out what's real and what's all in her head. With her tour approaching, Skye seeks help from an emergency-room nurse who seems like the only person who understands what she’s going through — and better yet, might have the key to make it stop.

"Chad’s nose came off under his helmet!" Russ Holliday's double life is quite literally falling apart in “Chad Powers" S2, even if coach Jake Hudson's fixation on getting the South Georgia Catfish into the College Football Playoff has blinded him to the ever-growing rap sheet of weird signs.

Here's how to watch “Chad Powers" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN.

The irony, of course, is that Russ' alter-ego no longer runs skin-deep. The disgraced former Oregon quarterback is a changed man... unfortunately his path to redemption happens to be one of the absolute worst scandals in sports history.

He's leaned on Danny hard enough. Now, he needs to find a way to win over assistant coach Ricky, who feels a sense of betrayal on a personal level after they bonded and she unmasked him. Throw in their shared football philosophy, the fling with Wendy and Jake's heart-attack, and things start looking pretty complicated.

When Russ is sent a Chad Powers mask with the word 'liar' duct taped over the mouth, however, it appears as if Ricky might be the tip of the iceberg.

This week’s slate of new movies across the best streaming services offers a strong mixture, with fresh arrivals on the most popular platforms including Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV and Paramount+. Whatever your tastes, there’s (almost certainly) a movie for you.

Arguably the biggest new movie is the Disney+ debut of the latest “Star Wars” adventure, “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” but I encourage you not to skip the “smaller” stuff like “Fuze,” an overlooked action-thriller with a neat twist heading over to HBO Max. Other top picks include an acclaimed drama on Netflix, an action-thriller on Prime Video and a buddy-cop adventure flick on Apple TV starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh.

There are plenty of options this week, so to save you from spending your time scrolling through streaming service libraries, I’ve collected this week’s most noteworthy new movies below. Plus, we also have a guide to the top new TV shows this week.

‘I Want Your Sex’ (PVOD)

As the name implies, “I Want Your Sex” isn’t shy about its provocative intentions. Described as an “erotic comedy-thriller,” this movie explores BDSM practices, alongside dipping into an exploration of power dynamics and eventually murder. Director Gregg Araki is not above going for shock value. However, the filmmaker's first new feature in 12 years has the substance to back up its provocativeness, with critics rating it 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.

When Elliot (Cooper Hoffman) lands a coveted job as the assistant for a renowned artist, Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde), his fantasies come true when she also takes him on as a sexual partner. But the fresh-faced Elliot finds himself out of his depth when Erika brings him into an unfamiliar world of experimental bedroom activities, which eventually leads to obsession, betrayal and even murder. Let’s just say this movie isn’t one for the family!

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting September 1

‘The Runner’ (Prime Video)

Prime Video is closing out its summer original slate with “The Runner,” a new British action-thriller that stars Gal Gadot. Based on the trailer, it doesn’t appear to be trying anything especially new in the genre, but it should be good for 85 minutes of adrenaline-spiking action, and it’s always great to get more female-fronted thrillers. I’m not convinced of its quality (yet), but I’m pretty confident it’ll run straight into the Prime Video top 10.

Maia Marten (Gadot) is a successful attorney living in London. What should have been an ordinary day becomes a frantic race against the clock when her son is abducted. A mysterious caller (Damian Lewis) gives her a series of cryptic commands, and Maia has to race across the city in a desperate bid to save her son. It all sounds as generic as its name, but perhaps “The Runner” will be a pleasant streaming surprise to kick off September.

Watch on Prime Video starting September 2

‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ (Disney+)

The first big-screen “Star Wars” movie in seven years arrives on Disney+ this week, and there’s a certain irony, because I’d argue “this is the way” the Mandalorian movie should be experienced. “The Mandalorian and Grogu” never felt quite at home in theaters, playing out like a condensed fourth season of “The Mandalorian” show. So, if you skipped it in cinemas, you didn’t really miss out; this movie feels made for watching on streaming.

Set between “Return of the Jedi” and “The Force Awakens,” the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and his adorable ward, Grogu (aka Baby Yoda), take on a mission for the New Republic to rescue Rotta the Hutt (Jeremy Allen White), son of the infamous crime lord Jabba. Naturally, what was supposed to be a simple rescue job becomes a sprawling adventure in this feature-length continuation of the popular Disney+ original show.

Watch on Disney+ starting September 2

‘The President’s Cake’ (Netflix)

If review sites like Rotten Tomatoes determine your watchlist, and you want to know which new streaming arrival this week has the highest score, I’ll cut to the chase: it’s “The President’s Cake.” This Arabic-language drama scores a near-perfect 99% rating with RT’s Critics Consensus labeling it “a tenderly crafted, often devastating portrait of childhood in rural Iraq.” It’s been praised for its complex themes and rich characters.

Set during the Gulf War, where aerial bombardments are a daily occurrence for the Iraqi people, 9-year-old Lamia (Baneen Ahmad Nayyef) and her class are selected to prepare a cake for the upcoming birthday of the country’s leader, Saddam Hussein. In a country gripped by fear and with resources scarce, Lamia sets out to a nearby city to find ingredients.

Watch on Netflix starting September 3

‘Scary Movie’ (Paramount+)

“Scary Movie” returned this year, and the horror-spoof series hasn’t matured with age. It remains as lowbrow as ever. Its sights are set on lampooning modern horror trends, such as legacy sequels that drop the number in their titles (hence why this isn’t called “Scary Movie 6). Targets this time include recent genre hits like “Weapons,” “Sinners,” “Get Out” and “The Substance,” alongside poking fun at the series favorite target, “Scream.”

2026’s “Scary Movie” also marks the return of the Wayans, who originally left the franchise after 2002’s “Scary Movie 2.” Also back are stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall. The plot is simple, as you would expect from the franchise, and is merely a vehicle to cram in as many parodies and references as possible. In 2026, “Scary Movie” feels a little outdated, but those who long for the days when parody movies were released regularly might see this as a fun throwback.

Watch on Paramount+ starting September 3

‘Fuze’ (HBO Max)

Director David Mackenzie, the filmmaker behind last year’s excellent thriller “Relay,” is back in the genre already with “Fuze.” This crime-thriller doesn’t reach the same heights, but with an audacious heist at its core, it’s a movie that will keep you hooked. Plus, if you’re the type of person who demands shocking twists, I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I can confirm there’s a big reveal in “Fuze” that totally flips the script.

Set in present-day London, a portion of the city is forced to evacuate when an unexploded World War II bomb is discovered on a construction site. Among the military squad called in to defuse the bomb is Major Will Tranter (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). However, in the chaos, a group of criminals led by Giorgos "George" Karalis (Theo James) uses the evacuation as a distraction to pull off a bank heist. But as the authorities circle, alliances are questioned and morals tested.

Watch on HBO Max starting September 4

‘Mayday’ (Apple TV)

Apple TV has earned a reputation for quality original series in recent years, but it’s yet to find the same success with its direct-to-streaming movies. Perhaps “Mayday” could be the start of a hot streak in this area, as this Apple original movie features a solid pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh. At the very least, it can’t be as bad as “Ghosted,” right?

Apple is labeling “Mayday” a “genre-bending, action-packed buddy comedy that flips the spy thriller on its head,” which reads like marketing buzzword bingo. In this Apple original, Reynolds plays a hotshot U.S. Navy pilot, assigned to a top-secret mission in Russian territory during the height of the Cold War. When the mission goes wrong, he’s stuck behind enemy lines, but finds an unexpected ally in an ex-KGB agent (Branagh), who is obsessed with American culture.

• Prime Video top 10 movies — 3 you need to watch this week

Disney+ and Hulu may now be closely connected, but they still serve very different purposes. Disney+ remains the home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and other family-friendly franchises, while Hulu brings a much broader mix of current TV, FX hits, originals, reality shows and movies. That makes them interesting services to grade both individually and as a pair.

We’re grading these across pricing, library, original content, and more, without considering the ESPN/Live TV add-on to see how strong they are both individually and when combined as a bundle. I use both services regularly, and while they may not command quite the same attention as Netflix or Prime Video, they’re still very much streaming staples (particularly if you’re into Disney’s biggest franchises or Hulu’s wealth of content).

We're diving into Disney+ and Hulu today to evaluate whether they still hold their spot as top-tier streaming platforms or if rival services are officially leaving them in the dust.

Pricing

Disney+ and Hulu are among the better-priced streaming services, particularly when you look at what you get for your money. On their own, both Disney+ and Hulu start at $11.99 a month with ads, but the real bargain is the Disney+ and Hulu bundle, which costs $12.99 a month. That’s just $1 more than either service individually, while getting you both libraries, and works out to $10.99 less per month than subscribing to the two ad-supported services separately.

The premium bundle is similarly compelling at $19.99 a month, saving you $17.99 every month compared with paying $18.99 for each service individually.

For families, this is particularly easy to justify. Disney+ gives you the big Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars franchises, while Hulu fills in the gaps with a much broader selection of TV, movies and FX content. If you use both regularly, there’s very little reason to pay for them separately. The bundle is easily the best-value way to get the most out of both services, and even the ad-supported tier gives you plenty for the price.

Grade: A

Library

Over the past 12 months, Disney+ and Hulu’s libraries are arguably at their best when you look beyond their originals. Disney+ has the obvious advantage of being the home for Disney’s biggest brands, but it also regularly brings major theatrical releases to streaming once their cinema runs are over. Over the past year, that has included movies such as “Hoppers,” “Predator: Badlands,” and “Avatar: Fire and Ash,”, alongside Disney-owned franchises and older favorites.

Hulu, meanwhile, is where things get particularly interesting. Its library is much broader, with a steady stream of licensed movies sitting alongside Disney-owned titles. Recent additions have included “Jurassic Park,” “Despicable Me 2,” “All of Us Strangers” and “Greedy People,” showing that you’re not limited to Disney’s own catalogue. Hulu also benefits from Disney’s relationships with other studios, meaning it can sometimes land recent theatrical movies before rival streaming services.

The result is a library that works for far more than just Disney fans. Disney+ brings the major franchises, while Hulu fills in the gaps with adult dramas, comedies, and licensed movies. That variety is arguably their biggest strength.

Grade: B+

Originals

Disney+ and Hulu have had a pretty strong year for original content, although their strengths are very different. Disney+ has continued to lean heavily on its biggest franchises, with “Daredevil: Born Again season 2,” “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” season 2, “Wonder Man” and “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” giving subscribers plenty of recognizable names to latch onto. “Wonder Man” was even one of Disney+’s most-watched original series of 2026 so far, showing that the Marvel brand can still bring people in.

Hulu is where I think the pairing becomes much more interesting. Its original slate is more varied, with FX productions, documentaries, comedy and dramas sitting alongside Hulu-branded shows. “Alien: Earth,” “Only Murders in the Building” season 5, “The Shards,” “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice” and “Paradise” season 2 are just some of the originals added during the 12-month period. And honestly, they were all great.

There are definitely some misses (like “All’s Fair” and “Chad Powers” for example), but between Disney+’s franchise appeal and Hulu’s broader approach, there’s enough here to keep most subscribers interested, especially families looking for a wider range of content. Together, they make a much stronger original-content proposition than either service does alone.

Grade: B

Interface

The Disney+ interface is generally clean and easy to navigate, but bringing Hulu into the mix can make the experience feel more cluttered than it needs to be. Disney+ has done a good job creating dedicated hubs for its biggest brands, including Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar, but the sheer amount of Hulu content can make the homepage feel busier, particularly when recommendations and trending titles start mixing together. It can be difficult to separate Disney+ and Hulu content, especially when they open the app specifically looking for Disney’s franchises.

Hulu’s interface doesn’t quite make up for this, either. While it’s perfectly functional, the sluggish scrolling, slower loading and problems with titles sticking around in the “Continue Watching” row after they’ve already been finished. That can make browsing feel more frustrating than it should, especially when Hulu’s library is already so large.

The good news is that this should improve as Disney continues moving toward a unified Disney+/Hulu experience. For now, though, the combination can feel like two very different services awkwardly sharing the same space, rather than one seamless streaming platform.

Grade: C-

Live content

When it comes to live content, Disney+ and Hulu are a little more complicated than they first appear. You do get some live sports without paying for an additional add-on, but the selection is extremely limited. Disney+ subscribers can watch select live ESPN events, including certain college football games and ESPN College GameDay, but you don’t get anything close to the full ESPN offering.

If you want a much broader selection, you’ll need to pay extra for an ESPN plan, with ESPN Select starting at $13.99 a month and ESPN Unlimited costing $31.99 a month. There’s also Hulu + Live TV, which costs $89.99 a month and includes more than 100 live channels, including ESPN.

That’s where Disney+ and Hulu lose points for me. While the ability to watch a very small handful of live events without upgrading is welcome, I wouldn’t consider it a meaningful live TV offering. Most streaming services that promote live content tend to make it part of a specific plan rather than asking you to stack multiple subscriptions to get the full experience.

If you’re a big sports fan, the additional cost quickly adds up, and suddenly the affordable Disney+/Hulu bundle isn’t quite so affordable. For casual viewers, the limited free offering is a nice bonus, but our grade feels fair when it comes to live content overall.

Grade: D

Overall grade: B-

Overall, Disney+ and Hulu remain a surprisingly strong streaming combination, particularly if you make the most of the bundle. Disney+ delivers the big franchises and family-friendly favorites, while Hulu adds a much broader mix of movies, TV and FX content. The pricing is arguably their biggest strength, with the bundle offering excellent value compared with subscribing separately.

However, the experience isn’t perfect. Hulu’s interface lets the pairing down, while the limited live offering means you’ll need to pay extra if you want more sports. Still, with a B- overall, there’s plenty here to justify keeping both in your streaming rotation.

• New on Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026
• The best streaming services in 2026 to subscribe to right now
• 'Shogun' season 2: Everything we know so far

September is when the streaming calendar starts to get busy again. New seasons arrive, fall premieres begin rolling out, and there’s suddenly a lot more to watch. But that doesn’t mean every subscription deserves a permanent spot on your monthly bill.

A Tom’s Guide survey about streaming habits found that readers are spending more than $60 a month on seven or more streaming services. With subscriptions adding up so quickly, it makes more sense to think of streaming services as a rotating lineup rather than a collection you keep year-round. Cancel the ones that have gone quiet, then resubscribe when they have something you actually want to watch.

For September 2026, Paramount+ and the Hulu/Disney+ bundle are the two services I’d be most comfortable canceling. Both have plenty of recognizable franchises and occasional must-watch hits, but this month’s lineups don’t quite make the case for another recurring charge. Here’s why they’re the streaming services to cancel right now.

Why I'd cancel Paramount+

Paramount+ is one of those streaming services that can be surprisingly easy to love. Between its expanding lineup of original dramas (including "Yellowstone" spinoffs), comedies and movies, there’s usually plenty of good stuff to justify keeping it around. September, however, is looking a little parched.

The biggest draw is "MobLand" season 2, which brings back Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan for another round of ruthless gangster family drama. New episodes arrive weekly starting Sept. 18, making it the clear standout of Paramount+’s September lineup.

The only other notable drops are "Colin From Accounts" season 3 and the streaming premiere of the new "Scary Movie." But it's hard to argue that those offerings are worth another month of subscription fees.

The NFL is another big reason people might be tempted to keep Paramount+. But if you’re mainly there for CBS’s Sunday games, you can watch those broadcasts for you can watch for free the old-fashioned way — with a TV antenna. Same goes for CBS shows, though the network’s regular fall lineup doesn’t really get rolling until October; the earliest major return is "Survivor" season 51 on Sept. 23.

Why I'd cancel Disney+

If you're a parent, Disney+ feels like one of those subscriptions you have to keep paying for. There’s Bluey, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars and enough Disney movies to keep kids occupied for approximately the next 400 years. But September is also when school starts, schedules get hectic and free time becomes limited. If your family isn’t actually sitting down to watch Disney+ regularly, this may be a good month to cut it loose.

The standalone Disney+ lineup isn’t exactly making a compelling case to stay. The biggest new addition is "LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian," a cute animated special arriving Sept. 2. "Dancing With the Stars" also returns Sept. 22, giving reality-TV fans a weekly appointment to keep. But beyond that, there isn’t much on the Disney side of the service that feels essential this month.

There is one very important caveat: this recommendation is really for standalone Disney+ subscribers. If you get Disney+ as part of a bundle with Hulu, it's a slightly different story. Hulu has more going on in September, including the continuing seasons of "The Shards" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "Chad Powers" season 2 and "American Horror Story" season 13, among other titles.

But if you’re paying for Disney+ on its own and the kids are back in school, ask yourself how much use you’re realistically going to get from it this month.

How much you'll save by canceling Disney+ and Paramount+

Disney+ and Paramount+ both offer several pricing tiers, so your exact savings will depend on which plans you have. But if you're paying for the standard ad-supported plans, canceling both for one month can save you roughly $19. If you have the ad-free plans and get rid of them, you're looking at around $33.

That might not seem like a lot, but if you could cut around $30 a month from your streaming bill, that adds up to $360 for the year. That's a nice chunk of change you can put toward the holidays, a trip or just some peace of mind.

And remember: You don't have to give up these services forever. The whole point is to take advantage of the flexibility of streaming. Skip a month when the lineup is thin, then resubscribe when a show you actually want to watch makes it worthwhile.

Summer is sadly coming to an end, but at least there are plenty of buzzy titles coming to streaming to distract us from the fact that the days are swiftly getting shorter and the temperatures are getting cooler.

With the end of one season and the beginning of the next comes a fresh wave of films and television shows to the top streaming services, including Hulu and Disney+. September 2026 will see the return of popular series including Ryan Murphy's long-running anthology "American Horror Story" and the Glen Powell-led comedy series "Chad Powers." And the film side of things will be equally stacked, with the streaming premiere of the Star Wars flick "The Mandalorian and Grogu."

Want to see what else is hitting the platform? Keep reading to check out our top picks and the full list of everything new on Hulu and Disney+ this month.

New on Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026: Top picks

'The Mandalorian and Grogu'

After soaring into movie theaters this past May, the big-screen sci-fi epic "The Mandalorian and Grogu" will make its Disney+ premiere on September 2. Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Martin Scorsese and, of course, that adorable titular green alien, the film follows Din Djarin and Grogu as they hunt down ex-Imperial remnants and warlords for the New Republic.

But there's more Star Wars goodness where that comes from: The movie lands on Disney+ the same day as an official companion behind-the-scenes podcast, as well as the animated special "LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian," a comedic retelling of the live-action series.

'Chad Powers' season 2

Glen Powell's Chad Powers — aka the adopted, prosthetics-wearing alter ego of disgraced quarterback Russ Holiday — is back for a second round of the sports comedy, which premieres on September 3.

The six-episode season will see Chad's odd behavior start to raise suspicions in those around him, including Coach Hudson (Steve Zahn) and Gerry (Colton Ryan), which threatens to expose his secret identity and jeopardize the entire football season. He'll find some unlikely help both on the field and off in the form of Ricky (Perry Mattfeld).

Stream "Chad Powers' on Hulu now

'American Horror Story' season 13

The fan-favorite horror anthology from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk returns for lucky number 13 on September 24, with the first three half-hour episodes of the 13-part season. (Three more will follow on October 1, with a pair to follow on October 8, 15 and 22 respectively before the spooky finale on October 29.)

"Horror Story" regulars including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peter will all return to the freaky franchise for the momentous occasion, leading an all-star cast that also includes Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Jamie Brewer, John Carroll Lynch and Mena Suvari, among others.

"Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13 and what new terrors await?" teases the official season 13 logline. "Light your candles, draw your pentagrams and prepare for a supreme surprise."

"9/11 Reunited" promises to be an emotional watch as survivors of the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil come face-to-face once more, having first crossed paths as strangers on that fateful day 25 years ago.

Across three episodes, viewers will get to know survivors of the 9/11 attacks as they are given the chance to connect with people (or their relatives) who helped save their life a quarter-century ago.

There is plenty of talent behind the scenes of "9/11 Reunited", too. Academy Award winners Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin are involved as executive producers alongside David Glover and Mark Raphael of 72 Films.

Those old Disney Channel movie bumpers never fail to churn up plenty of nostalgia, making me misty-eyed over the golden age of DCOMs. Disney, in its latest bid to mine that highly profitable vein dry, released "Camp Rock 3" this week on Disney+ and Hulu. It's got all the catchy songs and feel-good teen drama that made "Camp Rock" such a beloved part of many childhoods to begin with. But if you're not ready to leave that world behind just yet, there's plenty more Disney Channel nostalgia to stream.

On August 1, Hulu added several cult made-for-TV classics that are worth revisiting if you're looking for another throwback this weekend. You can also find them on Disney+. From musical romances to high-school comedies, there's plenty of movies that capture the same fun, over-the-top energy as "Camp Rock 3."

For even more streaming recommendations, check out our round-up of everything new in August on Disney+ and Hulu. So without further ado, here are three Disney Channel movies worth watching next.

'The Lizzie McGuire Movie' (2003)

"The Lizzie McGuire Movie" was played on repeat in my house growing up, the closest thing to an aughts jukebox musical we had until "Mamma Mia" had us belting out "Dancing Queen" two years later. Based on the show of the same name, it stars Hillary Duff as the lovable but hopelessly out of her depth Lizzie, who heads to Rome on a school trip where a dreamy Italian pop star (Yani Gellman) mistakes her for his ex singing partner.

He convinces Lizzie to take her place on stage and lip-sync along to her parts, kicking off a whirlwind romance that's stuffed to the brim with early-2000s Disney charm. For more breezy, feel-good energy and catchy musical moments like in "Camp Rock 3," this is the one to watch.

Watch "The Lizzie McGuire Movie" on Hulu and Disney+ now

'High School Musical' (2006)

Of course, no Disney Channel movie marathon would be complete without "High School Musical." Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are iconic as Troy and Gabriella, a jock and a transfer student who fall for each other while auditioning for their school's musical. To everyone's surprise they land the lead parts, but drama class royalty Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) and her twin Ryan (Lucas Grabeel) won't be overshadowed that easily.

Between its huge musical numbers and cast of instantly memorable characters, it's probably the closest match to "Camp Rock 3" on this list. Director Kenny Ortega is behind several cult classic DCOMs, from "Hocus Pocus" to the first three "Descendants" movies.

'Halloweentown' (1998)

Sure it's August, but it's never too early to start celebrating Halloween. Especially with Hulu adding the first two "Halloweentown" movies this month. This holiday staple follows Marnie Piper (Kimberly J. Brown), a teenager whose widowed mother (Judith Hoag) refuses to let her kids celebrate Halloween.

When her kooky grandmother Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) leaves after her annual Halloween visit, Marnie and her brother (Joey Zimmerman) secretly follow her back to Halloweentown, a fantastical city they thought was only in storybooks. Packed with plenty of cozy Halloween vibes, it's a nostalgic pick for anyone looking for a blast from the past to reconnect with their inner child.

• 5 best new movies to stream this weekend on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and more (August 15-16)
• How to get Disney Plus and Hulu for free
• I’m saving over $50 a month on streaming with this trick — here’s how

Looking for your next watch this weekend? Summer's zipping right on by, and Netflix, Disney+, and the rest of the best streaming services are heating up with new releases worth adding to your watchlist. Leading the pack this week is one of the best flicks from the Sandler clan in years, "Don't Say Good Luck," on Netflix as well as Olivia Wilde's spicy comedy "The Invite" on paid video-on-demand platforms, which totally lives up to the hype if you ask me.

Disney adults and nostalgia-seekers will find the Jo bros and Demi Lovato back in the spotlight in "Camp Rock 3" on Disney Plus. Another flash from the past, the drummer of Blink-182 is back in a heartfelt new music biopic "Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear" on Hulu. Also over on Netflix, you can catch the streamer's latest true crime documentary "A Child of My Own," which you may find highly entertaining against your better judgement. As the kind of stranger-than-fiction tales that's catnip to Netflix subscribers, it's all but guaranteed to crack the top 10 this weekend.

So without further ado, let's dive into the 5 best new movies on streaming this week.

‘Don’t Say Good Luck’ (Netflix)

As someone who missed a lot of Adam Sandler's seminal works, I didn't plan on watching "Don't Say Good Luck" this weekend. Then my colleague Rory Mellon said it was one of the best Netflix original movies he'd seen in ages, and now my interest is officially piqued. Sandler's real-life daughter Sunny stars as 16-year-old theater kid Sophie (Sunny Sandler), who's hoping to land a part in her in her high school’s upcoming production of the popular Broadway musical “Waitress.

Sophie's so locked in on getting the role that she's blindsided when her mom ("Yellowjackets'" Melanie Lynskey) discovers her cancer has returned. Her home life gets more and more chaotic as her dad (Max Greenfield) struggles to hold down the fort, and her two opinionated grandparents (Bebe Neuwirth and Steve Buscemi) aren't making things any easier. With an impressive ensemble cast and a heartfelt conceit, "Don’t Say Good Luck" has all the makings of a low-key, feel-good watch to lighten your weekend. .

'The Invite' (PVOD)

My friends won't shut up about "The Invite," Olivia Wilde's English-language remake of the Spanish comedy "The People Upstairs." And I don't blame them. Written by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, this flirty comedy stars Wilde and Seth Rogen as a married couple with precious little patience left for each other. A dinner party with their hot upstairs neighbors (Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton) spirals into unexpected but not entirely unwanted territory.

Cue the social and sexual awkwardness. "The Invite" is every bit as much fun as people say it is. It's a silly and subversive comedy that's surprisingly moving in the end. The ensemble has instant chemistry, the sharp script will have you cackling, and it's one of Olivia Wilde's best films yet.

Buy or rent "The Invite" on Amazon or Apple now

'Camp Rock 3' (Disney+)

After 16 long years, "Camp Rock" (and the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato) return for a highly-anticipated threequel to Disney's millennial fever dream musical franchise. The biggest "Camp Rock" fan I know, my little sister, told me it doesn't hold a candle to the first two, but it's still a fun watch with plenty of catchy music.

When their opening act cancels last minute, Connect 3 hosts a competition at Camp Rock to find a new generations of talent for their upcoming tour. Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Hudson Stone and Lumi Pollack join the cast alongside the returning stars. Like a lot of unnecessary sequels, "Camp Rock 3" seems made in a lab to squeeze what nostalgia and magic is left out of a bygone franchise.

'Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear' (Hulu)

Travis Barker has been through a lot. Once a trash collector in Laguna Beach, he jettisoned to fame a drummer with the quintessential aughts rock band Blink-182, going on to star on the 2005 reality series "Meet the Barkers" and marry "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star Kourtney Kardashian. But despite spending decades in the spotlight, Barker’s new documentary offers a more intimate look at the personal battles he faced after surviving a near-fatal plane crash.

With appearances from collaborators, cultural icons, and those closest to him, "Louder Than Fear" explores Barker's answer to the question: If you were given a second chance at life, what would you do differently?

'A Child of My Own' (Netflix)

Netflix has been on a roll with shocking true-crime documentaries this summer, from "The Crash" and "Maternal Instinct" to "A Toxic Love Story." The streamer's latest, "A Child of My Own," is one of the wildest stranger-than-fiction tales yet. Directed by Maite Alberdi ("The Mole Agent"), the Spanish-language documentary revisits the case of Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza, who was arrested in 2009 for kidnapping a newborn from a hospital.

You'd be forgive for thinking this is "Maternal Instinct" all over again, but I promise you, you have no idea where this story's going. About halfway through, Mendoza and her husband sit down for interviews to share their side, and they have a very different account of what happened. It quickly becomes clear that systemic issues may be the real villain all along, as they so often are in these headline-nabbing cases.

Igby Rigney, Homer Gere, Hayes Warner and Kaia Gerber are the star attractions in this dark and thrilling drama series, while Wes Bentley and Evan Rachel Wood offer support to a young and exciting cast. From the mind of the man who wrote "American Psycho", it's not surprising the plot features wealth and vanity tangling with ambiguous intrigue and murder in this timeless tale, set in a 1980s Los Angeles high school.

Ryan Murphy, who delivered such shows as "American Horror Story" and "Pose", is the man at the helm of this small-screen project, which means vibrant visuals, surrealist vibes, and high theatrics are to the fore. With nine episodes to get stuck into, this is sure to be a wild ride.

If you're anything like me, Friday night arrives way too fast — and suddenly you're 20 (or 40) minutes deep into scrolling Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and every other streaming app instead of actually watching something.

Over the past couple of years, between price hikes and shifting priorities, even the best streaming services have become more akin to cable TV with prices to match, especially at the higher "ad-free" tiers.

Almost every streaming service, save Apple TV, has multiple subscription tiers, including one with advertisements. These ad-supported memberships tend to be less expensive than the higher tiers and in some cases offer fewer features, like a lack of live sports or no downloads.

With that in mind, how often are advertisements interrupting your movies or TV shows? We tested seven of the major platforms to find out.

Tom's Guide testing process

We tested seven streaming platforms with the same process for both movies and TV shows.

These are the streamers I looked at:

• Disney+
• HBO Max
• Hulu
• Netflix
• Paramount+
• Peacock
• Prime Video

We tried to test out shows and movies of similar lengths within five minutes on either side. For movies, we watched films that were 2 hours long. For shows, we tried to find two episodes of about 60 minutes each, within five minutes.

We charted how many advertising breaks were inserted into the media, including starting ads. We also tracked how much added time the advertisements added to the overall runtime of the shows and movies.

Movie advertising

Surprisingly, how platforms break up their movies varies wildly between the number of breaks and how much added time they have.

If you want to avoid advertisements, Paramount+ and Peacock may be the way to go with only one ad roll at the start of the movies and nothing while it plays.

Here's how it broke down:

Netflix had the most ad breaks with nine, but those breaks were typically only 30 to 45 seconds with one or two commercials.

HBO Max had five ad breaks, but like Netflix, they only totaled two minutes. There were a couple of times during "Howl's Moving Castle" when I looked away and almost missed a couple.

The longest ads came from Prime Video, which only had four ad breaks but each one typically lasted around a minute and a half. It added over eight minutes to the process.

Disney+ was close behind with five ad breaks that added seven minutes and 45 seconds to "Fantastic Four: First Steps."

We're not doing winners and losers with these tests, but Paramount+ and Peacock waste your time the least and actually let you watch the movie.

TV show advertising

Unlike movies, most streaming services insert the same number of ad breaks in shows — between four and five, including ads that run before the show starts. The big difference lies in the added time.

For this test, we picked a series and watched the first two episodes of the show as long as they were in the 55- to 60-minute range.

Here's how it shook out:

Of the streaming platforms, Disney+ comes out the worst again.

I will note that I was only able to sign up for Hulu and Disney+ as a bundle. The Disney platform is a mess, and Hulu stuff is jumbled in with Disney content, which can be quite annoying when you're trying to find just Disney titles or just Hulu titles. Even clicking the Disney+ tab still sees Hulu shows or movies shoved into the different panels.

I specifically watched the Disney+ original series "The Punisher" for this test, and found between the first two episodes an average of over eight minutes of added runtime. Paramount+ was second worst with exactly eight minutes of added time between the two episodes of "Halo" I watched.

During the Paramount test, I got an error code during the second episode of "Halo," and the ads all disappeared. I did check out "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and "Dutton Ranch" just in case and got similar results, though those shows' episodes don't exactly hit 60 minutes.

Netflix may be the best value at only two minutes added time per episode. While watching the recently canceled "The Boroughs," there were only four ad breaks, but they varied in length. One was a minute, but the shortest was a quick 15 seconds.

How much the ad-supported subscriptions costs

If you're considering downgrading or signing up for one of the ad-supported tiers, they cost about the same across every platform, save the Disney+ and Hulu bundle, which combines both for $12.99 a month.

Here's what watching all those ads will cost you:

Some services like HBO Max and Peacock offer annual subscriptions, which will save you a dollar or so per month. Plus, Amazon Prime Video comes with a Prime subscription if you subscribe to that for $139 a year or $14.99 per month.

Otherwise, beyond HBO, most platforms cost $8.99 for the ad-supported subscription. Peacock is the cheapest at $7.99 by itself.

It seems unfathomable how quickly summer is moving, but it's true: August is shortly upon us. And with the arrival of a new month comes a fresh wave of film titles and television shows to the industry's top streaming services. And as two of the biggest names in the streaming game, both Hulu and Disney+ will unsurprisingly welcome a hot batch of buzzy and brilliant new shows and movies to their already extensive selections this month.

Over on Disney+, August sees the very long-awaited (we're talking more than 15 years, ya'll) arrival of a new "Camp Rock" movie for the kiddos and the kids at heart. For more adult viewers, there's a new season of animated favorite "Futurama," as well as a pulpy new prep-school program from the Ryan Murphy camp, based on the 2023 horror novel by Bret Easton Ellis.

Want to see what else is hitting the platform? Keep reading to check out our top picks and the full list of everything new on Hulu and Disney+ this month.

New on Hulu and Disney+ in August 2026: Top picks

'Futurama' season 14

The folks behind the long-running animated sitcom — which follows a New York City pizza delivery boy (voiced by Billy West) who accidentally freezes himself in 1999 and gets defrosted in the year 3000 to find himself surrounded by hard-drinking robots, lovely cyclops and the like — promise "a non-stop onslaught of swaggering space pirates, lab-grown meats and sexy scams" in the upcoming fourteenth season of "Futurama," which premieres with two episodes on Monday, August 3. (Episodes will then be released one-at-a-time every subsequent Monday.) Along with West, the original voice cast will be back, including Katey Segal and John DiMaggio.

Stream on Hulu beginning August 3

'The Shards'

Based on Bret Easton Ellis' semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, FX's "The Shards" comes courtesy of Ellis himself as well as Ryan Murphy, so you know some campy TV fun is in your future if you choose to tune into the new teen thriller. Premiering August 5 on Hulu, the 1980s-set series follows a group of privileged high school seniors at an elite Los Angeles prep school whose universe gets rattled by a mysterious new student, Robert Mallory (Homer Gere), whose arrival unsettlingly coincides with the activities of a serial killer known as The Trawler. The cast also includes Kaia Gerber, Wes Bentley, Graham Campbell, Hayes Warner and Igby Rigney as Bret Easton Ellis.

Stream on Hulu beginning August 5

'Camp Rock 3'

OG "Camp Rock" fans are now well and grown, but they can introduce a whole new generation to the movie-musical franchise with the long-awaited sequel "Camp Rock 3," which arrives 16 years in the making (yes, 16!) on August 14. The latest chapter of the trilogy sees original stars Jonas Brothers and Maria Canals-Barrera reprise their roles from the previous films, starring alongside Sherry Cola, Liamani Segura, and Malachi Barton.

When the opening act for Connect 3 cancels at the last minute, the band decides to return to their beloved Camp Rock and host a competition to find new talent to join their national tour. Talented campers are soon ruthlessly vying for the chance to join the group's reunion tour, testing friendships, stoking tensions and leading to unexpected alliances.

You know all about the 'Manson Family', but Charles Manson's flesh and blood has largely kept a low profile — until Sophia Maddox discovered that she was related to one of the most notorious criminals in American history. “My Grandfather Charles Manson" chronicles the aspiring Hollywood actor's helter-skelter journey of self-discovery.

Here's how to watch “My Grandfather Charles Manson" online from anywhere with a VPN.

Sophia's father Daniel Arguelles, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Manson, broke the news to her in 2022. He'd been brought up by his mother Darlene, who at the age of 17 had had a fling with a man she'd met at a bus station. Daniel was 10 years old when Manson was arrested for orchestrating the Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969.

It was then that Darlene understood that the man who'd introduced himself to her as 'Charlie Dear' was in fact the cult leader who'd later claim to be the devil incarnate. She'd take the secret to her grave. However, Daniel uncovered the truth when a genealogy test matched him with Michael Brunner, one of several known sons of Manson.

It's fair to deduce that they took the news very differently. Whereas Daniel connected with Michael and embarked on a period of quiet self-reflection, Sophia spiraled, wholly convinced that she could go on to reflect her grandfather's image.

They fell out during the making of this film, which sees Sophia study Manson's traumatic upbringing, his mental health issues including schizophrenia and paranoid delusional disorder, and his sensationalist portrayal in the media. She also speaks with former members of the Manson’s Family, including Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme and Manson's last known girlfriend Stephanie Schram.

Read on as we explain how to watch "My Grandfather Charles Manson" online from anywhere.

The "King of the Hill" revival continues with season 15, with more animated fun and healthy realism to come from Hank Hill and his family, friends, and neighbors.

Here's how to watch "King of the Hill" season 15 from anywhere with a VPN and how to stream it from anywhere in the world.

When "King of the Hill" returned in 2025, the show took a novel approach to continuing an animated sitcom by actually allowing its characters to age and deal with storylines that made sense for their evolution. That means that now, in season 15, we'll see Hank and Peggy handling their retirement, Bobby trying to get to grips with his relationship, and everyone contending with the age-old dilemma of the life-work balance.

There are ten new episodes to sink your teeth into, and if the episode titles are anything to go by, we're in for a treat. There are movie references (like 'Failure to Hard Launch and 'Hank Encounters of the Nerd Kind'), puns (like 'Care of the Dog') and even song lyrics (like 'Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes') at play here, so you can probably take some guesses at what will occur throughout this latest season.

Ready to drop in on the residents of Rainey Street once more? This is how you can watch "King of the Hill" season 15 from anywhere in the world.
