New TV and Streaming This Week: 7 – 13 September 2026
Autumn is arriving early on British screens this year, and the week beginning Monday 8 September brings a genuinely eclectic crop of new TV and streaming arrivals across the UK’s biggest platforms. From the long-awaited, emotionally charged return of an Israeli action thriller to a teenage rowing drama with plenty of prep-school scheming, a Korean revenge saga entering its second act, and Jeff Goldblum stepping behind the Saturday Night Live UK podium, there is something for almost every kind of viewer. Netflix dominates the schedule this week with four new titles, Disney+ brings back one of its most acclaimed international dramas, and Sky and NOW deliver a starry comedy event. Amazon Prime Video and Paramount+, by contrast, are having a quieter seven days, with their next big originals landing just after this window closes. Here is a full rundown of what is worth clearing space in the diary for.
Netflix leads the pack
Netflix opens the week in dramatic fashion on Monday 8 September with the return of Fauda, now in its fifth season. The Israeli action drama, created by and starring Lior Raz alongside Avi Issacharoff, has always traded on tension and moral ambiguity, and this new run is set two years after the events of 7 October, following traumatised undercover operatives as they race to stop a catastrophic attack on Israel. Protagonist Doron Kavillio is pulled into a dangerous, unauthorised revenge mission in Marseille after an old friend goes rogue, and the eleven-episode season includes two instalments that directly depict the events of 7 October 2023 itself. Mélanie Laurent joins the cast for this run, which promises to be the show’s most emotionally raw yet.
Sharing its Monday release date is DANG!, a very different proposition: an adult animated comedy from Titmouse, the studio behind Big Mouth, produced with Mike Schur and Alan Yang among its executive producers. It follows a brother and sister whose chaotic, low-key lives in New York City are thrown into disarray when their high-achieving older sister turns up wanting to reconnect. Stephanie Hsu, Poppy Liu and series creator Andrew Law voice the three Dang siblings across eight roughly 30-minute episodes, promising the kind of sharp, character-driven humour Schur’s projects are known for.
Wednesday 10 September brings a double bill of new drama to the platform. Crew Girl is a glossy young-adult series starring Miku Martineau as Teagan Tao, a sixteen-year-old whose family scandal forces a relocation to the East Coast and enrolment at the elite Easton Prep. Determined to chase her rowing ambitions, she talks her way onto the school’s previously all-boys crew team as coxswain, and soon finds herself caught between two teammates: golden boy Josh Regis and outsider Cam Dillinger. Expect boarding-school politics, class tension and a slow-burn love triangle set against the backdrop of competitive rowing.
The same day sees the arrival of The Perfect Lie, a Dutch thriller adapted from Saskia Noort’s bestselling novel (previously known in development as The Dinner Club). The story follows Karen, who relocates with her family to the wealthy town of Bergen and is welcomed into an exclusive dinner club of seemingly perfect couples. When one member dies in a house fire, the group’s carefully maintained facade begins to crack, and Karen finds herself pulled into a web of secrets, half-truths and old resentments as she investigates what really happened. It is exactly the kind of glossy, secrets-among-friends thriller that has become a Netflix speciality in recent years.
Disney+ brings back a hit thriller
Disney+ is quieter on the volume front this week but delivers real quality with the return of Made in Korea, whose second season begins on Wednesday 9 September with two episodes, continuing weekly thereafter. Set nine years after the events of the first season, it follows Baek Kitae (Hyun Bin), now Deputy Director of the Korean CIA, as he continues to expand a criminal drug operation even as his old enemy, prosecutor Jang Geonyoung (Jung Woosung), resurfaces from hiding determined to bring him down. As political instability grows, the two men are drawn into an escalating conflict where neither is willing to hold back. With two of Korean cinema’s most recognisable leading men going head-to-head, this is shaping up to be one of the more purely entertaining returns of the autumn schedule.
Sky and NOW go live with Goldblum
The standout event of the week for Sky and NOW subscribers arrives on Saturday 12 September, when Saturday Night Live UK returns for its second series. The full original cast is back, but the real headline is the host: Hollywood star Jeff Goldblum, marking his first SNL hosting appearance in almost three decades, with Irish singer-songwriter CMAT booked as musical guest. The new series has been expanded to twelve episodes (up from eight in its debut run), airing live at 10pm on Saturdays, with the first half of the run concluding in October before the remaining episodes return in early 2027. Given the strong reception season one received, expectations are high for a livelier, more confident sophomore outing.
A quieter week for Prime Video and Paramount+
Amazon Prime Video and Paramount+ have both scheduled their biggest new UK originals for just outside this particular window. Prime Video’s Jack Reacher spin-off Neagley, starring Sopé Dìrísù as investigator Frances Neagley, lands on 16 September, while Paramount+ has new crime drama Route 187 arriving the same day. In the meantime, existing hits such as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Lioness continue their current runs on Paramount+, and The Grand Tour’s newly reformatted series carries on rolling out on Prime Video following its 4 September relaunch with new presenters Francis Bourgeois, James Engelsman and Tom Holland.
Taken together, it is a week that rewards viewers happy to sit with a subtitle or two: Fauda and The Perfect Lie both trade in tension born from language and culture as much as plot, while Made in Korea offers a slicker, more mainstream thrill. For something lighter, DANG! and Crew Girl provide the comedy and coming-of-age drama respectively, and Saturday Night Live UK’s live broadcast on Saturday night remains appointment viewing for anyone wanting to see a Hollywood A-lister let loose on a British sketch stage. Whichever platform you are logging into this week, there is little excuse to be bored.
