September doesn’t just mean it’s OK to drink pumpkin spice lattes — it also means a whole new roster of TV shows and movies hitting your favorite streaming services.
From star-studded dramas to creepy comedies, there’s something for every mood on Netflix, Peacock and HBO Max.
Whether you’re in the mood for a heart-pounding crime story, a spooky animated adventure or a biting workplace satire, this month’s lineup has you covered.
Watch With Us has rounded up the most exciting premieres to keep on your radar — here’s what you can’t miss this September.
‘Love Con Revenge’ Season 1 (September 5)
This follow-up to The Tinder Swindler puts victims of romantic fraud in the driver’s seat. It follows former romance fraud victim Cecilie Fjellhøy as she teams up with private investigator Brianne Joseph to help women and men who are being scammed and can’t find help through traditional avenues. The new docuseries will show you how to unmask scammers, protect yourself and seek help if you’ve been conned.
Watch Love Con Revenge on Netflix on September 5.
‘Haunted Hotel’ Season 1 (September 19)
Rick and Morty writers Dan Harmon and Chris McKenna created this new adult animated series for Netflix, which follows Katherine (Eliza Coupe), a woman struggling to run a hotel that is also haunted, but soon gets help from her estranged brother Nathan (Will Forte) — who happens to be a ghost.
We’re hoping that Haunted Hotel will do for horror what Rick and Morty did for sci-fi — in other words, skewer it while also offering some of the most creative storytelling in the genre.
Watch Haunted Hotel on Netflix on September 19.
‘Task’ Season 1 (September 7)
This new crime drama miniseries for HBO stars Mark Ruffalo as an FBI agent who leads a task force to solve a string of violent robberies in a small town. Tom Pelphrey plays the mild-mannered family man who is secretly behind it all.
Created by Mare of Easttown screenwriter Brad Ingelsby, Task promises to check a lot of the same boxes for character-based drama and suspense.
Watch Task on HBO Max on September 7.
‘I Don’t Understand You’ (September 12)
This underrated horror-comedy stars Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells as Dom and Cole, a married couple who are celebrating their 10th anniversary in Italy while waiting to learn if Candice (Amanda Seyfried) will choose them to adopt her baby.
Unfortunately, a few things on their Italian vacation take a bloody turn for the worse, leading to a chaotic comedy of errors that goes from bad to worse. It’s a high-stakes marriage story that swings for the fences, anchored by hilarious performances from Kroll and Rannells.
Watch I Don’t Understand You on Hulu on September 12.
‘The Paper’ Season 1 (September 4)
A first look at the upcoming The Office spinoff, The Paper, is finally here. “Several years ago, a documentary crew filmed the story of Dunder Mifflin [and] now they’ve found a new subject,” a title card on a Thursday, August 7, trailer reads. The Office, based on the popular British series of the same name, […]
The “documentary” team from The Office has a new subject — The Toledo Truth-Teller, a local newspaper which is tangentially related to the paper products sold by Dunder Mifflin. Though the Truth-Teller’s staff is cynical, underfunded and apathetic, a new editor-in-chief (Domhnall Gleeson) comes in with a quest to shake things up — by trying to bring “real journalism” back to the local news.
As writers, we wish him the best of luck. As TV viewers, we wish for the craziest, cringiest shenanigans possible. The Paper looks like a mix of the can-do optimism of Parks & Recreation with the understated visual style of The Office — plus a few original ingredients thrown in.
Watch all 10 episodes of The Paper on September 4 on Peacock.
