Shows to watch in September on Disney+, Netflix and more

With so many shows to choose from nowadays, at times it can feel almost impossible to settle on something to watch. We often find ourselves endlessly scrolling, caught between rewatching old favourites or simply giving up on the search altogether out of sheer indecision. Luckily, we're making it easier for you to navigate through the new shows that are coming up this month.

From the highly anticipated series Tempest on Disney+ to the return of Alice in Borderland (Season 3), here are some shows to watch this September.

Tempest

Play

Tempest follows Seo Munju (played by Gianna Jun), a former diplomat who finds herself entangled in a deadly political conspiracy after an attempt is made on a presidential candidate’s life. When whispers surface that the candidate was once accused of being a North Korean spy, Munju digs deeper, only to uncover a dangerous web of deception, state secrets, and international power plays that reach as far as the White House. Guarded by Paik Sanho (played by Gang Dongwon), a mercenary with a mysterious past and his own hidden agenda, Munju is constantly under fire as the truth edges closer. But as the stakes rise, can Sanho protect her and his own feelings before it’s too late?
