September Streaming Guide
Wolfs | Apple TV+

AS WE EMERGE from winter, with spring springing, some may say the season of binge-watching is coming to an end. But if you prefer hibernation to hayfever, don’t let the warmer temperatures fool you – there’s never really a bad time to cozy up on the couch with a drink in hand, snacks nearby and a plethora of top-notch streaming content to get through. You deserve it, don’t you?

If you’re looking for a reason to hold off on hitting the beach as we head into the warmer months – or you’re looking for a show to sink into after a long day of sunning yourself – you’ll find it in a streaming platform, because there’s a big month ahead. If you’re struggling with an Olympic-sized hole in your heart, the Paralympics have already kicked off and can be streamed on Stan. If a blockbuster film is what you’re after, Wolfs – starring not just one, but two Hollywood heavyweights in George Clooney and Brad Pitt – over on Apple TV+ should keep you satiated. While on Binge, The Penguin (a companion piece to The Batman) will make its long-awaited premiere.

The vast swaths of new content don’t make it easy for you though. The big hitters like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime are so packed with must-watch films and shows that it can be difficult to discern what’s worth your time and what’s best left on the backburner – especially when you’re prone to indecision and are paying for the luxury of choice with subscriptions to multiple platforms.

Not to worry though, Esquire has you covered. To help you avoid being paralysed with indecision during a dreaded doomscroll, we’ve rounded up all the very best films and shows coming to streaming platforms in September 2024.

What’s new on Netflix in September?

September Netflix Highlight – The Perfect Couple

Another routine month where a vast array of new content will hit Netflix is headlined by new series The Perfect Couple, starring Nicole Kidman. The Aussie actress plays the matriarch of a well-to-do Nantucket family who is none too welcoming to her soon-to-be daughter in law. The proceedings take a morbid turn when a body is discovered on the beach, turning a tense weekend of wedding prep into a whodunnit.

Also on Netflix in September, Uglies marks the triumphant return on the young adult dystopian genre that was so popular in the early 2010s. Based on a popular book series, the world of Uglies is an oppressive, looks-obsessed dictatorship where young people are given a surgical makeover once they become teenagers, resulting in a class system of ‘uglies’ and ‘pretties’.

September Disney+ Highlight – Agatha All Along

The long awaited follow up to WandaVision is finally here. In what will be a relatively soft month for Disney+, Agatha All Along will be a boon as the latest MCU series. In case you need a refresher, Agatha Harkness has been trapped in a lackadaisical New Jersey town since the end of WandaVision, but has managed to escape with the assistance of a few witches keen on utilising her power. Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone and Joe Locke are all slated to appear alongside Kathryn Hahn.

What’s new on Stan in September?

September Stan Highlight – From season 3

The highly anticipated third season of From will premiere on Stan on September 23rd. It’s a lowkey and downright creepy sci-fi drama. Set in a small town where nobody can leave and terrifying monsters emerge once the sun goes down, escape may finally be possible for the show’s protagonists. Although, they won’t be getting out without a fight with those aforementioned critters.

The Walking Dead’s Daryl Dixon will also be getting a continuation of his spin-off series in The Book of Carol on Stan next month. After scouring France during the first season of the show, Dixon has made some friends and is heading to Spain on a zombie-killing quest. It’s not your typical Euro summer, but who are we to judge?
