Everything That’s Streaming in September 2026
The Unabomber and Agatha Christie come to the small screen; Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are reunited.
School’s back in session, and so is the fall TV schedule. This September on streaming is full of reboots, spinoffs and reimaginings — and there’s also a new reboot of a spinoff set at college. There’s also a new Unabomber film that’s largely about Ted Kaczynski’s time at Harvard, a new Ryan Reynolds movie from the folks who made Game Night and the Criterion Channel debut of Neon Genesis Evangelion. A streaming slate as varied as an undergrad’s first semester courseload.
Read on for Book & Film Globe’s definitive guide to the top titles this month.
