Here are all the new TV shows and movies you should binge in September 2021

By Tim Augustin - 5 Sep 2021

Sex Education, Doom Patrol, Star Wars and more!

Sex Education Season 3 (17 September) - Netflix

One of Netflix’s best dramedies is back at long last. Picking up after the events of Season 2, Mr. Groff is out and Moordale has a new headmistress who’s keen to change things up. Word of the ‘sex school’ is getting around and while she does her best to control a rambunctious student body, Otis attempts to hide a secret hookup. Scandalous! Place your bets now - who’s Otis hooking up with this season?

 

Star Wars: Visions (22 September) - Disney+

Star Wars: Visions is a nine-episode anthology series, animated by Japanese animation studios like Kamikaze Douga, Geno Studio, Studio Colorido, Studio Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Science Saru and Production IG. Each episode tells a standalone story in a distinct visual style, ranging from gritty black-and-white animation to a more kid-friendly Astro Boy-like look. I mean, it’s Star Wars and anime. Were you actually going to skip this?

 

Doom Patrol Season 3 (23 September) - HBO GO/HBO Max

One of the best superhero shows ever is back, and still utterly bizarre. Picking up from Season 2’s big finale, this season sees our favourite band of misfit superheroes shattered in an amusement park after a devastating face-off with The Candlemaker. That’s just the start of their shenanigans, of course. When the team attempts to go their separate ways, Madame Rouge arrives in a time machine to set them on a new path. I wouldn’t trust this bunch with time travel as far as I could throw them, but it looks like we’ve got little choice in the matter. 

 

Foundation (24 September) - Apple TV+

Based on Isaac Asimov’s books, this sci-fi epic kicks off with the revolutionary Dr. Hari Seldon predicting the impending fall of the Empire, and venturing to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation with his followers. The Empire doesn’t take this kindly, fearing that their unrivaled reign might be weakening. Many consider these books to be fairly impossible to adapt in a live-action series format, so we’ll just have to wait and see if this works out for Apple. 

 

Midnight Mass (24 September) - Netflix

Mike Flanagan, the showrunner of The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, returns to Netflix with this new supernatural series. Midnight Mass takes place on Crockett Island, navigating an isolated island community experiencing miraculous events and frightening omens - following the arrival of a strange young priest. Kate Siegel, Henry Thomas and Rahul Kohli also star in this, returning from Bly Manor.
