TV Series Highlights for September 2026
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (September 2)
The biggest Star Wars event of the month so far: Din Djarin and Grogu go into battle for the New Republic against scattered Imperial warlords. Alongside Pedro Pascal, the cast includes Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White, with Martin Scorsese directing and producing. To go along with it, “LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian”—a humorous recap of all three seasons to date—will be released on the same day.
City of Blood (September 16)
The eight-part series is set in a Berlin of the near future ravaged by the effects of climate change and is based on the graphic novel “Berlinoir” by Reinhard Kleist and Tobias O. Meißner. Two sisters stumble upon a network of vampires that controls the city’s organized crime and is reaching for political power. Produced by Amusement Park Film, directed by Philipp Kadelbach, and with Daniel Brühl serving as one of the executive producers. The cast features primarily German talent, including Lea Drinda, Soma Pysall, Franz Hartwig, and Jördis Triebel. For a German-language Disney Original, this is an unusually international crew behind the camera.
Chad Powers Season 2 (September 3)
The football comedy about Russ Holliday, who is building a second life for himself as quarterback “Chad Powers,” enters its second season. This time, the pressure is on as his team fights to make it into the College Football Playoffs.
The Simpsons Season 37 (September 27)
Springfield’s most famous family is getting a new season as scheduled: Season 37 of “The Simpsons” premieres at the end of the month, continuing its run as one of the longest-running series in TV history.
More Series Relaunches
Anime fans are in for a treat this September: “One Piece” kicks off with Seasons 1 through 3, “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War” delivers Season 4, and “Naruto Shippuden” also adds Season 2 to its lineup. Joining them is “FX’s The Drop: A Snowfall Saga,” a new Hulu original set in 1990s Los Angeles during the rise of West Coast rap.
Movie Highlights for September 2026
Toy Story 5 (September 23)
Pixar is following up with the fifth installment of the “Toy Story” series; for many subscribers, this is likely to be the real highlight of the month. Disney has yet to reveal specific plot details, but the release date on Disney+ has been set.
Marvel and Spider-Man in September
No fewer than four Marvel titles will be new or returning in September. On September 4, “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” will follow on September 4, and on September 13, the action-packed “Kraven the Hunter”—starring Peter Parker’s nemesis—will premiere. For younger viewers, the animated series “Marvel’s Spidey and the Avengers: Halloween Team-Up!” premieres on September 25.
Licensed Classics: The Hunger Games, Asterix, and Paddington
Disney+ is also digging deep into its catalog of licensed titles: Starting September 4, all four films in the “Hunger Games” series and both “Paddington” films will be available, and five classic Asterix films will be added starting September 18.

Conclusion: Is Disney+ worth it in September 2026?
What’s new on Disney+ in September 2026 is an unusually rich mix of major franchises and smaller discoveries. For Star Wars and Marvel fans, the month is practically a must-see, and with “Toy Story 5,” one of the biggest Pixar titles of the year is also coming to the platform. Those who prefer darker, European series should mark “City of Blood” on their calendars. It’s one of the few instances where a German production is deliberately aimed at an international audience. And if the infamous error code 83 pops up on Disney+ when you try to play a title, we have a solution for that, too.
