The Best Things To Stream In September

Sex Education Season 4

It’s nearly time for more Sex Education, but the occasion is a bittersweet one: the fourth season of the hit Netflix show is coming to an end. Still, there’s a lot to see in these last few episodes.

Otis (Asa Butterfield) is starting at a new college along with Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood) in tow. Their new home of Cavendish Sixth Form isn’t entirely welcoming though and Otis looks to continue his sex therapy clinic on the campus- even if he now has a rival. Maeve (Emma Mackey) is now studying in the US with her lecturer Thomas Molloy (Dan Levy) and Gillian Anderson returns as Otis’ sex therapist mother Jean.

The Changeling

Part horror, part thriller, part fantasy, The Changeling is one of Apple TV+’s boldest shows yet. Based on the novel of the same name by Victor LaValle, it stars LaKeith Stanfield as Apollo, a book dealer living in New York and in a happy marriage to his wife Emma (Clark Backo).

Shortly after giving birth to their first child, Emma commits an unspeakable, shocking act, and then vanishes without a trace, with Apollo left to pick up the pieces. As he ventures out into New York City, Apollo is taken on a twisting, turning voyage where his sense of what is real and what isn’t is questioned, and he finds himself journeying to places he never would’ve dreamed of.

The Other Black Girl

We can’t wait for The Other Black Girl, a new Hulu series arriving on Disney+ UK this month. Editorial assistant Nella Rogers is living a dull and isolated life at a prestigious publishing house and feels alienated as the only Black woman working there. When Hazel-May, another Black woman, joins the staff, Nella is initially overjoyed and makes fast friends with the new employee. But under the surface, things aren’t all as they seem.

Nella begins to suspect that Hazel-May is actively undermining her and trying to advance her own career. As she tries to unravel the mystery of both her co-worker and the publishing company, Nella finds herself in serious danger.

The Morning Show Season 3

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon’s hit series depicting the behind-the-scenes of a morning news show returns. This time, the future of Alex (Aniston) and Bradley (Witherspoon)’s careers seem to be in doubt.

The UBA network, which runs the show-within-a-show The Morning Show, is being eyed up to be bought by a tech mogul. Neither Alex nor Bradley are very happy with the idea and are prepared to do whatever is possible to make sure they’re not kicked from their very lucrative news desk. Secrets, plots and gossip abound, it’s set to be an even juicier season than the last.

Wilderness

Jenna Coleman might be known for her roles as the Doctor’s faithful assistant Clara in Doctor Who and Queen Victoria in Victoria, but in the new Amazon thriller Wilderness, she’s out for revenge.

She plays Liv, a woman in a seemingly normal marriage to Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), who is outraged and heartbroken when she finds that he’s been seeing another woman. But she doesn’t immediately leave him- not least because they’re set to go on holiday to the American National Parks, and the trip provides Liv with an interesting opportunity. The unwitting Will is secretly put through a series of trials to give him the chance of winning her back- but if he’s not careful, a breakup will be the least of his worries…

Love at First Sight

The airport is an ideal place to find romance, right? Netflix sure thinks so, and its new film Love at First Sight suggests it is. Hadley (Haley Lu Richardson) is on her way to London for a family occasion, but she misses her flight and ends up having to get another. While waiting for her plane, she bumps into Oliver (Ben Hardy) and the two very quickly hit it off.

Not only that, but they also find themselves sitting next to each other on the plane. As they get to know each other and begin to fall in love, everything seems to be leading to the perfect romance- until a mishap with Hadley’s phone means she loses contact with Oliver completely when she lands. But she’s counting on another twist of fate to find him again.

The Continental

The Continental is the first in several planned spin-offs of the action-packed John Wick series, anchored by Keanu Reeves. But how will that world work when John Wick himself is absent? In the form of a prequel series, coming to screens this September, that tells of the rise of Winston Scott (played by Ian McShane in the films and Colin Woodell here).

Set in the 70s, Winston comes to be the proprietor of the New York Continental Hotel, a place where assassins and hitmen can call home. Intriguingly, the series will explore “alternate history” versions of real-life events like the American mafia’s dominance and the Winter of Discontent in Britain.
