No. 1: Slow Horses: Season 5
Premiere Date: September 25, 2025 on Apple TV+
Apple TV+’s Emmy-winning spy series Slow Horses, starring Gary Oldman, has flown under the mainstream radar for years. Since its debut in 2022, it has remained one of the most consistently outstanding shows on TV. Our followers on social media voted it as their most anticipated show of the month. Fortunately for fans, the show has already been renewed through season 7, ensuring plenty of Slough House intrigue to consume over the next couple of years, starting with this month’s premiere of season 5.
No. 2: Gen V: Season 2
Premiere Date: September 17, 2025 on Prime Video
Fans of The Boys embraced its YA counterpart, Gen V, when it premiered in 2023. This spin-off focusing on younger “supes” at a university for aspiring heroes was just as entertaining, irreverent, and violent as its predecessor. Season 2 picks up after the events of The Boys: Season 4, making it a must-watch for anyone following the franchise.
No. 3: Alice in Borderland: Season 3
Premiere Date: September 25, 2025 on Netflix
We are finally getting the third season of the Japanese manga adaptation Alice in Borderland, a sci-fi thriller about survivors trapped in an alternate dimension Tokyo, forced to compete in deadly games. Season 2 became Netflix’s most-watched Japanese title ever (including anime), and it ended with an ominous reveal, making fans eager to see where the story goes when season 3 premieres on September 25.

Only Murders in the Building has earned the approval of both critics and audiences alike. While it may not be the water cooler conversation piece it once was, its clever writing, likable characters, and star-studded cameos keep fans returning for more. Season 5 adds talents like Bobby Cannavale, Dianne Wiest, Christoph Waltz, and Renée Zellweger, increasing the star power and giving audiences even more reason to tune in.
No. 5: Tulsa King: Season 3
Premiere Date: September 21, 2025 on Paramount+
Taylor Sheridan continues his TV hot streak that began with 2018’s Yellowstone. Tulsa King, a crime drama starring Sylvester Stallone as a mob lieutenant sent to Oklahoma to establish a new criminal headquarters, has been a hit for Paramount+. It’s not only renewed for a fourth season, but a New Orleans-based spin-off starring Samuel L. Jackson is also in the works.
