OPINION: It'll be worth splurging on streaming in September, with 'The Rings of Power,' 'Andor,' 'The Handmaid's Tale,' 'The Good Fight,' 'House of the Dragon' and much more on the way, writes mmmmurf.
From the well-rounded offerings of Disney+ — including “She-Hulk,” “Andor” and “Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” — to Amazon’s blockbuster “Lord of the Rings” prequel series “The Rings of Power,” to Hulu’s stockpile of quality comedies, to HBO’s compelling “House of the Dragon,” there is no shortage of must-see fall TV on the way. And the best of it can be had for less than $50 in total.
This month’s big addition is the long-anticipated “Rogue One” prequel “Andor” , starring Diego Luna as the spy Cassian Andor in the early days of the rebellion against the evil Galactic Empire. It’s a longer season — 12 episodes — than previous “Star Wars” spinoffs, and a second season is already in the works. One hugely encouraging sign: It’s helmed by Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote “Rogue One,” along with four “Bourne” movies and “Michael Clayton.
And don’t forget new episodes every week of Marvel’s breezy superhero comedy “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.” After a two-year layoff, the thoughtful clash-of-cultures comedy “Ramy” returns for its third season. Ramy Youssef stars as an Egyptian-American slacker navigating life in New Jersey, who, this season, will abandon his rather disastrous spiritual journey and focus instead on working at his uncle’s diamond business. Donald Glover’s “Atlanta” is also back for its fourth and final season, just a few months after the finale of an uneven Season 3.
Amazon’s Prime Video September is arguably the biggest month ever for Amazon’s Prime Video, which will premiere the long-awaited and massively expensive “The Lord of the Rings” prequel series “The Rings of Power” and kick off exclusive coverage of NFL Thursday Night Football. Amazon AMZN, -0.24% has committed even more money for exclusive rights to the most lucrative programming in the U.S. — NFL football. While Prime Video has streamed 11 Thursday-night games every season since 2017, this is the first time the games won’t air anywhere else. Prime Video will stream 15 exclusive regular-season games Thursday Night Football games starting Sept. 15, with the Chiefs hosting the Chargers.
The bilingual horror comedy “Los Espookys” is one highlight, returning for its second season, and Baz Luhrmann’s recent musical biopic hit “Elvis” , starring Austin Butler, will make its streaming debut. Max is also adding a selection of Magnolia Network programming , with a slew of home and lifestyle shows from Chip and Joanna Gaines, while “The Vampire Diaries” and “Gotham” will migrate over from Netflix.
UPDATE: Paramount+ is finally offering a Showtime bundle that features the premium cable channel within the Paramount+ app. It’s largely seamless and it does cost extra, but it’s better than two entirely separate apps. To mark the new feature, Paramount+ is offering a special bundle price of $7.99 a month or $12.99 a month through Oct. 2. But after that the price rises to$11.99 and $14.99 a month, respectively.
Peacock also has “Last Light” , a five-episode apocalyptic thriller starring Matthew Fox in his first big role since “Lost”; “Vampire Academy” , a YA fantasy series based on the books by Richelle Mead about two young women, played by Sisi Stringer and Daniela Nieves, as they prepare to enter vampire society; “Meet Cute” , an original rom-com starring Pete Davidson and Kaley Cuoco involving the use of time travel to recreate a perfect first date; and the streaming premiere of the objectively...
Play, pause or stop? Pause. If you’re a cord-cutter who likes NBCUniversal shows and/or live sports, there’s a strong case to be made.
