From ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ to the new Nicole Kidman-fronted mystery series ‘The Perfect Couple’, this month promises plenty of addictive viewing.
As we enter the fourth quarter of 2024 and the Sun crosses the celestial equator, transformation is all around us. But just because the seasons are changing, doesn’t mean you need to change the channel!
From season 4 of Slow Horses to the new fashion forward docuseries In Vogue: The 90s to the salacious The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, there’s simply something for everyone to watch this September.
1. Emily in Paris, Season 4 Part 2
Where can I watch it? On Netflix
Season 4 Emily Cooper is more content than ever. She’s finally found her place in Paris, both professionally and personally. Or at least she had until Camille dropped her Part 1 finale bombshell, sending Emily and Gabriel’s series-long saga of will-they-or-won't-they into yet another spin. The next five episodes of Season 4 look set to sift through the aftermath of Camille’s confession, but as always, it looks…complicated.
2. Slow Horses, Season 4
Where can I watch it? On Apple TV+
Adapted from the Mick Herron spy novels, this darkly comic spy drama starring Gary Oldman promises to kick season 4 off with a bang – quite literally. Opening with a “bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House”, this latest six-episode run reminds us why Slow Horses has already been renewed for a fifth season, expected to premiere in 2025.
3. In Vogue: The 90s
Where can I watch it? On Disney+
The 90s were wild – but the 90s in fashion? Truly something else. This six-part retrospective spills the tea on the decadent decade as it partied its way through the pages of the world’s fashion bible, Vogue magazine. Told by those who lived and breathed it, including Vogue editors Hamish Bowles, Edward Enninful, Tonne Goodman, and Anna Wintour, the series also features fashion icons Sarah Jessica Parker, Naomi Campbell, Victoria Beckham, Miuccia Prada, Claudia Schiffer and many, many more.
4. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
Where can I watch it? On Disney+
Putting your keys in a bowl at a party is so passé. According to Mormon ‘mumfluencer’ Taylor Frankie Paul, “soft swinging” within your married friend group is where it’s at. At least that’s what she explains on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, a salacious eight-episode reality series following the drama between eight Mormon TikTok influencers who’ve been caught up in a swinging sex scandal exposed by the Big D. And yes, we mean divorce. Oh my God indeed.
5. How to Die Alone
Where can I watch it? On Disney+
Responsible for countless lols as Kelli in Insecure and just as many eyerolls as Belinda in White Lotus, Natasha Rothwell shines on screen. Now she’s gone ahead and created her own show in which she plays Mel, a broke JFK airport employee who’s spiralling that she’ll end up dying alone if she doesn’t find love soon. That is until a near-death experience transforms her way of thinking, and ultimately, living. Armed with a new lease on life, Mel combats loneliness with hope, delivering plenty of laughs along the way.
6. Agatha All Along
Where can I watch it? On Disney+
Marvelites, assemble! Kathryn Hahn is dusting off her purple cape to reprise her role as Agatha Harkness in this much anticipated WandaVision spinoff series. Also starring Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation, The White Lotus) and Joe Locke (Heartstopper), it follows Agatha as she embarks on a mystifying trip down Witches Road alongside a suspicious goth Teen. If she survives the journey, she’ll be rewarded with her missing powers. But will she?
7. The Penguin
Where can I watch it? On Binge
Colin Farrell was so transformative in Matt Reeves’ 2022 Batman film that he’s been promoted to top dog – or should we say, Penguin. In this crime thriller series, Oswald Cobblepot is set on filling the violent void left after Carmine Falcone’s death by taking control of Gotham’s underworld. Part Scarface, part psychological character study, this project delves deeper than ever before, offering insight into the man behind the penguin – including his relationship with his mother.
8. La Maison
Where can I watch it? On Apple TV+
Hot on the (stiletto) heels of its lauded Dior series, Apple TV+ is back with another fashion fable, this time telling it in French. Starring seven-time César Award nominee Lambert Wilson, the ten-episode series follows two rival fashion families à la Versace vs Gucci as they battle for dominance and relevance in the cutthroat world of couture. Centered around a Paris-based atelier, a viral video, and a former muse on a mission to save the century-old La Maison, high drama meets high fashion here.
9. Midnight Family
Where can I watch it? On Apple TV+
Inspired by the award-winning 2019 documentary of the same name, Spanish-language drama Midnight Family follows Marigaby Tamayo (Renata Vaca), a medical student by day, private paramedic by night. Along with her father and her siblings, Marigaby traverses a sprawling and contrasting Mexico City aboard her family's privately owned ambulance over ten action-packed episodes, attending intense medical emergencies to save lives while also trying to make a living.
10. Nobody Wants This
Where can I watch it? On Netflix
Kristen Bell and Adam Brody are a match made in rom-com heaven in this comedy series by Erin Foster. Loosely based on Foster’s real life love story, we follow the unlikely relationship between an unapologetically candid woman named Joanne (played by Bell), and an unconventional rabbi (Brody). Also starring Succession’s Justine Lupe and Veep’s Timothy Simons, Foster created the show as a way to humorously explore “all the ways that finding the right person can be so hard.”
11. Three Women
Where can I watch it? On Starz
Based on author and journalist Lisa Taddeo’s 2019 best-selling non-fiction book of the same name, this 10-part series is a powerful exploration of womanhood on screen. Shailene Woodley plays Gia, a fictionalised version of Taddeo, as she interviews women across the US, uncovering their complex relationships with sex, intimacy, and love while confronting her own. And true to its subject, the production was made almost entirely by women, from writers and cast, to directors, producers and crew.
12. Moonflower Murders
Where can I watch it? On PBS
Picking up in the aftermath of Magpie Murders’ captivating finale, this second adaptation of Anthony Horowitz’s bestselling Susan Ryeland/Atticus Pünd series is a classic British whodunit. Multi-hyphenate Susan (editor-sleuth-hotelier) is living the good Greek island life when an encounter with some English tourists turns things upside down. When they tell her of a murder committed at a British country hotel eight years ago and their missing daughter, Susan knows she has to pack up her sandals and return to London to crack the case.
13. The Perfect Couple
Where can I watch it? On Netflix
Finally, a show to fill the void Big Little Lies left behind. Starring Nicole Kidman and exploring moneyed society with something to hide (this time in the East Coast enclave of Nantucket), The Perfect Couple is Netflix’s buzzy six-episode series based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling novel. When a body washes up on the morning of Nantucket’s wedding of the season, suddenly, every guest becomes a suspect – and secrets bubble to the surface faster than you can pop the champagne.
