Brothers, Minerva Academy, Slow Horses and MobLand lead this week’s streaming choices. The schedule covers new premieres, returning thrillers, reality competition and major episodes arriving from September 22 through September 25.
The best starting point depends on whether you want a complete binge or a weekly conversation. Netflix offers full-season launches, while Apple TV and Paramount+ keep several high-profile stories on a one-episode schedule.
- Week: September 22 to 25, 2026
- New picks: 10 shows
- Genres: Comedy, drama, thriller and reality
- Services: Apple TV, Netflix and Paramount+
- Top premiere: Brothers
Start with the week’s new series
1. Brothers premieres with Episodes 1 and 2 on Apple TV September 23, pairing Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in a comedy about men whose lifelong bond may be even closer than they thought. 2. Minerva Academy released all eight episodes on Netflix September 22, making its elite-school mystery the week’s clearest binge.

5. Slow Horses Season 6 Episode 2 arrives September 23 as Slough House investigates the attack on its former agents. 6. MobLand Season 2 Episode 2 follows September 25, continuing the consequences of Jan’s confession and the new pressure around the Harrigans.
7. Ted Lasso Season 4 Episode 8 streams September 23 and turns attention toward Roy, Keeley and Richmond’s emotional direction. 8. Last Seen Episode 4 also arrives September 23, pushing Maggie’s search forward after the new evidence surrounding Ian, Don and the house.
Add science fiction and competition
9. Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 5, “Love and Be Loved,” streams September 25 after Episode 4 scattered its characters across dangerous choices and competing versions of home. 10. Physical 100: Mexico releases Episodes 8 and 9 on September 23, narrowing the remaining field as the competition approaches its endgame.
For a single-night choice, start with Brothers or the next Slow Horses. For a weekend binge, choose Minerva Academy or A Different World. Reality viewers can pair The Golden Ticket with Physical 100: Mexico and compare two very different ideas of competition.
Release timing also helps organize the list. September 23 is the busiest day, with Apple TV episodes and both Netflix competitions landing together. The college sequel follows on September 24, while Dark Matter and MobLand make September 25 the stronger thriller night. Spreading the choices across those dates avoids stacking several serialized dramas at once and leaves the full-season releases for a longer weekend session.
That mix gives the week a useful balance of complete stories and episodes that invite speculation. Which of these 10 shows is first on your watchlist, and what did we miss? Share your streaming pick in the comments.
