September Preview: 22 TV Shows & New Movies to Watch at Home
In the gallery above, our editors have selected the coming month's most promising TV shows (including limited series and specials) as well as movies available to watch at home through VOD and digital purchases, listed in order by premiere date. Many of these titles haven't been reviewed yet (and we haven't seen them), but they are the most intriguing new releases on paper, at least, arriving in September.
Drama/sci-fi series debuts September 4 on Netflix. Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights), Matt Reeves (Felicity), and Andrew Hinderaker (Penny Dreadful) combine for a 10-episode Netflix drama series depicting the first manned mission to Mars, based loosely on a recent Esquire story by Chris Jones. Hilary Swank heads the cast as the astronaut in charge of the year-long international mission, while Josh Charles plays her husband (and NASA engineer) left behind on Earth to care for their teenage daughter. Ed Zwick directs the pilot.
