Looking for something new to watch this week? The September 14–20, 2026 entertainment calendar brings returning TV favorites, new movies, animation, comedy, drama and family-friendly choices. This guide highlights the biggest releases and helps viewers in the USA, Canada, UK and Australia plan a smoother movie night using authorised platforms available in their region.
Quick note: Release dates and availability can change by country. Always check the official broadcaster or streaming service in your location before watching.
Top TV Pick: Dancing with the Stars Season 35
The long-running dance competition returns this week for season 35. It remains a strong choice for families who enjoy live performances, celebrity contestants and weekly results. US viewers should confirm the current ABC and Disney+ schedule, while viewers elsewhere can check local authorised listings.
Drama Pick: Slow Horses Season 6
One of September’s most anticipated returning dramas is Slow Horses season 6, scheduled for September 16 on Apple TV. The new chapter brings the Slough House team back into a darker spy story. Because episodes may release weekly, check the official episode schedule rather than expecting the full season at once.
Comedy Pick: Stop That Train
For a lighter movie night, Stop That Train is among this week’s new comedy releases. It offers an alternative to heavy crime dramas and action titles. Availability varies by region, so search the movie title inside your authorised services.
Animation Pick: Golden Axe
Adult animation fans have a new option with Golden Axe arriving on Paramount+. This is best suited to mature viewers rather than young children. Families should always review the age rating and content guidance shown by the official platform.
More Choices for September 14–20
- Tony: a coming-of-age film inspired by the younger years of Anthony Bourdain.
- Days and Nights in the Forest: a restored classic available through the Criterion Channel.
- Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story: a true-crime anthology option for mature audiences.
- The Paper season 2: a returning comedy choice for viewers who enjoy workplace stories.
How to Choose What to Watch
Start by choosing a mood: family, comedy, drama, action or documentary. Then check the age rating, episode length and whether the title is a weekly release. A short list prevents endless scrolling and helps everyone agree faster.
