The 9 Best TV Shows to Stream This Month (September 2026)

September is typically the time when television gets serious again. The summer's biggest TV shows have aired their finales, the fall schedule is kicking into high gear, and streamers are rolling out everything from high-concept sci-fi to prestige dramas. There's plenty of familiar IP in the mix, but also some genuinely original shows worth putting on your to-watch list. While plenty of outlets will tell you what everyone is watching (see:), that's not our goal. As always, the TV shows we're watching this month reflect the kinds of stories WIRED covers every day--shows that explore technology, science, politics, culture, and the sometimes unsettling ways they intersect.
