7 New Movies and TV Shows to Stream on Netflix, Apple TV Plus, Max, and More This Weekend (September 6)

Who’s ready for another month of new movies and TV shows to stream? The answer, of course, is you – and you’d better be a Netflix subscriber this week, or your streaming options will be comparatively spotty. For one thing, the usually reliable Prime Video has nothing new to offer this weekend, leaving other top streaming services to fill the gap.

And fill the void they have. Whether it’s the return of critically acclaimed Apple TV Plus and Hulu shows or the arrival of Studio Ghibli’s latest masterpiece on Max, there’s still plenty to hold your attention. So here’s what’s worth watching this weekend on the world’s best streaming services.

Rebel Ridge (Netflix)

When I first saw the official trailer for Netflix’s Rebel Crest, I couldn’t help but think it sounded like a modern version of the classic action movie Rambo – Mission, which spawned an entire franchise centered around its PTSD-ridden main character. Once you learn that the plot of one of the new Netflix movies in September is about an ex-Marine who passes through a small town and ends up clashing with the corrupt local police, which escalates by the minute, you’ll understand why this sounds so familiar.

Rebel Crest is Jeremy Saulnier’s first new project since he released two of his True Detectives first season. And after reading an interview with him on Netflix Tudum, I can understand why he wrote the script, as he is a fan of “action films of the 80s and 90s that not only offer spectacle but also manage to combine the chaos on screen with a real and true emotional component.” At the time of publication Rebel Crest sounds like one of the best Netflix movies of 2024, with critics giving it a whopping 98% rating. To say it sounds promising would be an understatement!

Slow Horses Season 4 (Apple TV Plus)

It confuses me that Slow horses hasn’t had much mainstream success in recent years. It’s undoubtedly one of the best Apple TV Plus shows out there, but it still continues to pass many people by.

Well, not anymore, I say! With its perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Slow horses Season 4 is the best entry yet in the acclaimed spy thriller series. In short, you no longer have a valid reason not to watch this television series led by Gary Oldman, Jack Lowden and Kristin Scott Thomas. It’s action-packed, dramatic and packed with that signature British humor that I love. Okay, you’ll have to stream the other three seasons first, but they’re only six episodes each, so you’ll have slogged through them and Season 4 in a couple of days. You won’t regret tuning in to this Apple TV Original, trust me.

The Boy and the Heron (Max)

Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, you have done it again. Just when I thought the legendary director and his animation studio could not outdo themselves again, they prove me wrong with The Boy and the Heron.

Miyazaki-san’s latest cinematic masterpiece is based on Genzaburō Yoshino’s 1937 novel of the same name, but does not adapt the story that unfolds within its pages. Nevertheless, Ghibli’s interpretation of The Boy and the Heronin which the young protagonist Mahito Maki is whisked away to a typically magical land (typical for a Ghibli film, anyway) with the help of a strange grey heron, is a visually gorgeous, thematically rich and beautifully executed film that deserves to be seen. I’d be shocked if it doesn’t immediately make our guide to the best Max films.

Tell Me Lies Season 2 (Hulu/Disney Plus)

If you are excited about the next episode of Tell me liesit is now available on Hulu (US) and Disney Plus (international). The series, produced by Emma Roberts, follows the turbulent relationship between Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White) over a period of eight years.

Season 2 begins with Lucy’s sophomore year of college, and if the trailer is to be believed, it’s off to an explosive start. Here we see her trying to just get through her all-important sophomore year of college, only to be hit with many obstacles, including trying to avoid Stephen even though he’s lurking around every corner. It’s the messiest relationship on TV right now, so even though it probably won’t make our lists of the best Hulu shows and best Disney Plus shows, you’ll still have front row seats to all the drama this weekend.

The Perfect Couple (Netflix)

I rave about The perfect couple for some time now (maybe you have already Praise for Nicole Kidman’s shady matriarchal character). I love a good crime thriller, especially when you have an ensemble of truly horrific characters who could all be capable of committing the crime the story is about. Trying to piece together the clues and figure out who the culprit is before The show is also always satisfying, although I’ve had mixed results so far.

If you’re in the mood to play detective this weekend, dive into this six-part series about Greer Garrison Winbury, played by Kidman, who makes visitors sign a non-disclosure agreement before spending time there. She’s supposed to be reluctantly watching her son marry his fiancée, but a dead body on the beach takes priority.

The perfect couple hasn’t had the best start, the mixed reviews seemed off-putting. But hey, when did we ever listen to them? Check it out for yourself and find out if it deserves a place in our guide to the best Netflix shows.

Wise Guy: David Chase and the Sopranos (Max)

Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney meets with The Sopranos creator David Chase in this must-see two-part documentary. Featuring conversations from some of the cast and archival footage, including clips from the late, great James Gandolfini, this is the perfect companion for anyone wanting to learn more about not only one of HBO’s most successful television shows, but one of the best series of all time.

And honestly, who could blame you? The Sopranos is still so ingrained in pop culture nearly two decades (!) after its final season aired that it regularly appears on lists of HBO Max’s best shows and is highly quotable – “all this from a slice of gabagool?”.

Selling Sunset Season 8 (Netflix)

With eight seasons under its belt, Sell sunset is one of the few Netflix reality shows that just keeps going. It seems like there’s no shortage of expensive, luxuriously designed homes in Los Angeles, so if you like seeing celebrities and unscrupulous real estate agents in your architecture digest, this series is for you.

I can also say that with conviction, because it’s one of TechRadar entertainment writer Grace Morris’s all-time favorite reality shows available to stream on Netflix. In fact, she’s a fan of the Oppenheimer Group agents, who “are style icons with their stunning outfits in every episode” – and she’s not alone, with critics giving season 5 a perfect 100% rating. As one of the highest-rated new Netflix shows coming in September, I’m sure there are many more fans out there who can’t wait to stream the 11 new episodes, all of which are available now. So, what are you waiting for?
