September is here and with it comes new films and TV shows to get into. While this month is not the content juggernaut that June and July were with House of the Dragon, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, among other releases, it offers a nice variety of films for everyone. From a witchy sequel to an iconic college drama revival to a dose of horror, these are the TV shows and films that we cannot wait to see this September.
Practical Magic 2
This long-awaited sequel will bring our beloved Owens women back to the big screen. This time, there’s a new generation in the mix as Sally, Gillian, their spinster aunts, and their daughters dive into family history that threatens the present and future. The trailer gave us that cozy magical vibe that will really help set the Fall mood.

Resident Evil
Zach Cregger is bringing Resident Evil back to the big screen with a fresh story. Raccoon City is more dangerous and diabolical than ever as we watch Bryan, a medical courier, try to survive a wild outbreak. We were lucky to see the opening minutes of the film, and it looks like it is off to a great start. And, what better way to get ready for Nerdoween than watching a horror movie?

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom
One of our favorite forms of art is stop-motion animation. It looks so cool and the level of work that goes into creating these types of films and shows is truly a marvel. Shaun the Sheep and his fellow flock members are back for an adorable yet creepy story that actually takes place not too long before Halloween. Shaun is trying to science his way through fixing a destroyed pumpkin patch but things go awry when the Farmer goes missing and a beast appears. Interestingly, it will arrive in theaters alongside Resident Evil, so maybe this could be your double feature this month.

A Different World
It’s a different worrrrllllddd, than where you come from! Back in the late 1980s, this Cosby Show spinoff series changed the game, immersing viewers in HBCU culture at the fictional Hillman College. The show inspired a generation of young Black people to attend HBCUs and tackled controversial issues like abuse, sexual assault, classism, and much more. Now, decades later, we are going back to Hillman in this series, which shows Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert-Wayne’s youngest daughter navigating her parents’ alma mater. Let the nostalgia flow.

American Horror Story: 13 (Season 13)
American Horror Story has been a TV horror staple for over a decade, and it is coming back for yet another season. This installment will wind in characters from beloved previous seasons, like Coven, for a story that will surely be deliciously wicked. It will focus on the number 13, which is known to be bad luck, and include a character called Twisty the Clown. We are totally in.

Primetime
To Catch a Predator’s Chris Hansen isn’t very happy about this A24 film about his life and how he created this series. But it is happening anyway and we are intrigued, especially considering that Robert Pattinson is portraying Hansen. His voice and the promise of complex behind-the-scenes drama is enough to make us want to watch it.
