The Lovers (September 7)
If we took a rough poll of the world’s romantics, I feel like the lilting Irish brogue would come out on top as the sexiest accent of them all. See that horny theory put to the test in this Belfast-set rom-com series, following the enemies-to-duhhh-Lovers arc between a supermarket worker and a boastful political broadcaster. The show promises “dark comedy and unexpected romance”, so apologies if we’ve spoiled that second part for you right here. Oops.
American Horror Story: Delicate (September 21)
12 seasons in, does Ryan Murphy’s glamorous anthology of scares still have what it takes to surprise us? The show’s brilliance has waxed and waned over the last decade, but perhaps adding one Kimberley Kardashian to the latest cast is just the lightning strike needed. The season’s subheading ‘Delicate’ doesn’t give us much idea of what to expect, but so far there’s been plenty of promo imagery relating to fertility. Returning ensemble stars Emma Roberts, Denis O’Hare, and Billie Lourd might be up to some Rosemary’s Baby darkness with newcomers Kardashian and model Cara Delevigne.
The Following Events Are Based On A Pack Of Lies (September 22)
If you’re feeling a bit tired of true crime, this twisty love triangle series should still scratch that conspiratorial itch in your brain. It stars Rebekah Staton and Marianne Jean Baptiste as two very different women who both fall in love with the same eco-entrepeneur. The truth of what’s at the centre of their duelling infatuations could destroy them—will they work together, or both go down in flames? Made by the BBC, this five-episode thriller will hopefully leave you reeling.

Knock at the Cabin (September 3)
Shyamapocalypse now? Or is it just cultish paranoia? M. Night pulled out all the stops for this eerie, well-acted thriller that sees a gay couple confronted by a quartet of doomsday prophets: if they’re willing to sacrifice one of their lives, an impending, world-ending event can be stopped. The twist-addicted director avoids his most blockbustery impulses for a tighter, more thoughtful mode of filmmaking, getting a great performance from his lead child actor as usual. And Dave Bautista is awesome as one of our four horseman—the kind of burly yet noble bloke you’d actually trust to guide you through mysterious endtimes.
Babylon (September 8)
Damien Chazelle’s caricature of Hollywood’s evolution from talkies to the Golden Age is a mess. But! It’s a glittering, addictively entertaining mess, with some jaw-dropping scenes and big characters that actually befit the debauchery of the era in a strange way. Look at that picture of Tobey Maguire up top! He totally steals the waning final act of the movie! Babylon is long and unwieldy, but I promise you’ll have a blast while watching, with plenty of hefty, questionably-conveyed themes of race, gender and power to bitch about afterwards.
Cocaine Bear (September 24)
Our critic Rory Doherty wasn’t a fan of this 1980s-set, does-what-it-says-on-the-tin horror-comedy, saying that there’s only so much the familiar cast can do “with a film clueless about how to give us a wild, gonzo experience”. I personally though it was more than enough fun, with one especially awesome ambulance chase scene and goofy intersecting storylines that mimic the era’s trashy, creature feature exploitations well. And for a movie with that title? You certainly get more than enough scenes of a giant carnivore eating, sniffing, and dancing about in party powder.
