Streaming Services Publish Dense September Slate of Originals and Franchise Hits

Platforms are front-loading high-profile releases as a fall programming push that coincides with heavy catalog turnover due to expiring licenses.

Overview

  • Platforms publicly posted full September calendars by Aug. 31, with Netflix scheduling The Gentlemen season 2 for Sept. 3 and Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story for Sept. 17.
  • Disney+ will add Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on Sept. 2 and Toy Story 5 on Sept. 23 while Apple TV confirmed Mayday on Sept. 4 and Slow Horses season 6 on Sept. 16 and Prime Video announced originals such as Enfrentados: Marfil on Sept. 9 and Demon Slayer film on Sept. 29.
  • HBO Max released confirmed dates for titles including Anora on Sept. 5, 28 Years Later on Sept. 19, and Backrooms on Sept. 25 as part of its September lineup.
  • Netflix also published a long list of titles slated to leave the service in September, noting that those removals are driven by licensing agreements and remain subject to change.
  • The slate shows a clear editorial push toward crime, thriller, horror and franchise tentpoles to grab viewers at the start of fall and will force subscribers to check region-specific availability and 'last day' notices as licenses shift.
