Ordered by date. Where a show drops all at once versus weekly is noted, because it changes how you plan the month.
Week one
- Sept 3 — Chad Powers S2 (Hulu). 6 episodes, all at once — a switch from season one's weekly rollout. Glen Powell, Steve Zahn, Perry Mattfeld. Powell took a Golden Globe nomination for season one, which split critics (59%) and audiences (84%).

Two things to know before you plan
North of North season two is not a Netflix September title. The 8 September date is CBC and APTN+ in Canada. Netflix has announced nothing; season one took three months to cross over. Do not put it on your list.
Colin from Accounts has already aired in Australia, weekly on BINGE since 27 July. If you are avoiding the ending of a show you like, the finale is already out there.
The scheduling detail of the month: Apple put an Emmy-nominated drama two days after the ceremony. Win or lose on the 14th, Slow Horses gets the 16th.
