From the networks to streaming giants like Netflix and Prime Video, there’s a whole new crop of comedies, dramas and documentaries in the pipeline. Here’s what to look forward to in the coming months.
The Perfect Couple (Netflix, Sept. 5)
A rich Nantucket boy (Billy Howle) is about to get married, and his celebrated novelist mom (Nicole Kidman, 57) does not approve. When the maid of honor turns up dead on the beach just before the wedding, whodunit? Everybody is a suspect in a soapy mystery twistier than a spiral staircase.

Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist (Peacock, Sept. 5)
In a promising true-crime-inspired miniseries, Atlanta hustler Chicken Man Williams (Kevin Hart) and his tough partner Vivian (Taraji P. Henson, 53) throw a party after Muhammad Ali’s fabled 1970 comeback fight. A hundred people show up, including gangsters Frank “The Black Godfather” Moten (Samuel L. Jackson, 75) and Cadillac Richie Wheeler (Terrence Howard, 55), with Atlanta’s first Black detective, JD Hudson (Don Cheadle, 59), handling security. Gunmen order the guests to strip naked, and steal a million bucks. Can Chicken Man convince Hudson he’s innocent?
My Brilliant Friend, Season 4 (HBO/Max, Sept. 9)
As compulsively watchable as Elena Ferrante’s novels are readable, HBO’s Original Drama series kicks off its fourth and final season following the lives of Elena (Alba Rohrwacher) and Lila (Irene Maiorino), who first became friends as girls in Naples in the 1950s. Titled “Story of the Lost Child,” this season follows the grownup pair as they confront the challenges of careers, motherhood and political turmoil in late-1980s Italy.
The Old Man, Season 2 (FX, Sept. 12)
An ex-CIA man (Jeff Bridges, 74) and his long-ago colleague (John Lithgow, 78) race to rescue an FBI agent (Alia Shawkat) from an Afghan warlord who kidnapped her — and all three men claim she’s their daughter. “Think of it as Mamma Mia! but with a lot more murder,” wrote TheWrap’s Kayla Cobb.
Tulsa King, Season 2 (Paramount+, Sept. 15)
Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone, 78) is out of the hoosegow and back in the gambling and pot business, but now he’s got rivals muscling into his turf: A-list tough guys Neal McDonough, 58 (Justified) and Frank Grillo, 59 (Gangster Squad).
The Golden Bachelorette (ABC, Sept. 18)
Blond, beautiful grandma and former school administrator Joan Vassos, 61, had to quit as a contestant on The Golden Bachelor show to tend her ailing child, but she’s back as the star of the first grownup dating show starring a woman pursued by 24 guys.
