OTT releases in September 2026.

September 2026 has apparently decided that our watchlists were looking far too manageable. The month begins with two very different mothers racing to save their children, throws in aristocratic gangsters, ghosts, treasure hunters and revolutionaries, and then closes with a notorious bombing case and a coming-of-age romance. In short, there is no single “September mood” unless that mood is refusing to leave the sofa. For Indian viewers, the biggest attractions range from Taapsee Pannu’s action thriller ‘Gandhari’ and the riotous digital arrival of ‘Dhamaal 4’ to Nikkhil Advani’s ambitious period series ‘The Revolutionaries’.

Internationally, Guy Ritchie’s well-dressed criminals return in ‘The Gentlemen’, while ‘Slow Horses’, ‘Monster’ and the ‘Reacher’ spin-off ‘Neagley’ give franchise loyalists plenty to anticipate.

The list below brings together the month’s most notable streaming premieres.

1. The Runner - September 2, Prime Video

Before Taapsee Pannu begins her rescue mission in ‘Gandhari’, Gal Gadot will spend September 2 doing something equally stressful: running across London while following orders from the people who have abducted her son. Directed by Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald, ‘The Runner’ casts Gadot as high-powered lawyer Maia Marten, with Damian Lewis, Alfred Enoch, Rory Wilmot and Phoenix Di Sebastiani among the principal ensemble. The entire thriller is built around a viciously simple instruction – keep moving, trust nobody and do exactly as the mysterious caller says. Gadot reportedly trained with an Olympic coach for the physically gruelling role, which should ensure that this is not the kind of morning jog anyone will be eager to copy.

2. Gandhari - September 3, Netflix

Taapsee Pannu returns to full-throttle action as Bani, a mother whose daughter is abducted at a crowded railway station. A brutal assault leaves Bani temporarily blind, but grief soon hardens into vengeance as her search leads towards a child-trafficking network hidden within the mysterious town of Joypurra. Directed by Devashish Makhija and written and produced by Kanika Dhillon, the Hindi film also stars Ishwak Singh, Chhaya Kadam, Swastika Mukherjee, Mita Vashisht and Jatin Sarna. The title may evoke the blindfolded queen from the Mahabharata, but this Gandhari is not waiting on the sidelines while the battle unfolds – she is walking straight into it.

3. The Gentlemen Season 2 - September 3, Netflix

The suits remain immaculate, even if the business is anything but. Created by Guy Ritchie, ‘The Gentlemen’ returns with Theo James as Duke Eddie Horniman, Kaya Scodelario as the formidable Susie Glass and Ray Winstone as crime boss Bobby Glass. One year after Eddie and Susie joined forces, they are attempting to take Bobby’s criminal empire overseas, only to discover that bigger territory brings more enemies, shakier alliances and far more expensive ways to die. Daniel Ings, Vinnie Jones, Joely Richardson and Giancarlo Esposito are also part of the ensemble. Season 2 expands the action from the English countryside to Italy, giving Ritchie’s combination of old money, drug money and extremely sharp tailoring a larger playground. Netflix’s confidence is hardly subtle either: Season 3 was confirmed before the second chapter even premiered.

4. Mayday - September 4, Apple TV

Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh walk into a Cold War spy movie – and somehow turn it into a buddy comedy. Written and directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, ‘Mayday’ follows hotshot US Navy pilot Troy “Assassin” Kelly (Reynolds), whose secret mission over Soviet territory spectacularly collapses. Stranded behind enemy lines, he finds an unlikely ally in eccentric former KGB agent Nikolai Ustinov (Branagh). Maria Bakalova, Marcin Dorociński, David Morse and Clark Johnson also star. The directors behind ‘Game Night’ and ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ are once again mixing large-scale danger with mismatched-partner chaos, so expect missiles and misunderstandings.

5. Dhamaal 4 - September 4, Netflix

After its July 10 theatrical release, ‘Dhamaal 4’ brings its latest treasure hunt home. Director Indra Kumar reunites Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh and Jaaved Jaaferi, with Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Upendra Limaye, Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh and Anjali Anand joining the madness. A dying man reveals the location of Shaitaan Singh’s hidden fortune, but the map is scattered after a pirate called Adhoora crashes the party. Families, rivals and competing groups then race towards a mysterious island, proving that this franchise can turn a straightforward set of directions into a national emergency. The comedy arrives on Netflix on September 4.

6. Korean Kanakaraju - September 4, Netflix

Why settle for an ordinary haunting when your ghost can arrive with an international backstory? Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the Telugu horror comedy stars Varun Tej as Kanakaraju, a man possessed by a Korean spirit who must understand his strange supernatural identity, protect his family and solve the spirit’s murder. Ritika Nayak and Satya Akkala play key roles alongside him. The film originally reached theatres on August 7 and now gets a much larger multilingual audience through Netflix. Its blend of possession, revenge and broad comedy is delightfully difficult to place in a single box – which may be precisely the point.

7. Unmadham - September 4, SonyLIV

Kunchacko Boban plays Shelly, a frustrated civil police officer who would rather be writing movies than filing reports. A punishment transfer delivers unexpected inspiration when he discovers a closed file concerning a young woman’s mysterious death – and ignores his colleagues’ belief that the case is cursed. Lijomol Jose, Siddique and Sabumon Abdusamad also star in the Malayalam psychological crime thriller. Written by Shahi Kabir and marking editor Kiran Das’s directorial debut, ‘Unmadham’ combines the procedural pleasures of an old investigation with the dangerous temptation of turning real darkness into a good story. It streams in Malayalam, with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.

8. Jagamae Sangeetham - September 4, Prime Video

If the first Friday of September is beginning to sound murderously tense, ‘Jagamae Sangeetham’ offers a change of rhythm. Created and directed by Palnati Surya Pratap, the Telugu musical drama stars Prakash Raj, Meka Srikanth, Madhubala, Akshay Lagusani and Sushmita Shetty. Inspired by Prime Video’s Hindi series ‘Bandish Bandits’, it places love, ambition and generational conflict against a world shaped by Carnatic music and family legacy. The series is less about simply winning a competition than deciding which traditions deserve preservation and which rules need a remix. It premieres worldwide in Telugu with English subtitles and a Tamil dub.

9. The Paper Season 2 - September 9, Peacock

The documentary crew from ‘The Office’ has traded paper sales for the people trying to save an actual newspaper – and the workplace remains gloriously incapable of behaving normally. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, ‘The Paper’ returns to the Toledo Truth Teller with Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Ramona Young, Tim Key and The Office alumnus Oscar Nuñez. Following the paper’s surprise award in Season 1, editor Ned Sampson faces pressure to produce real journalism while secretly dating reporter Mare Pritti. All 10 episodes arrive on Peacock on September 9. Peacock is not currently offered as a standalone service in India, and a separate Indian platform for Season 2 had not been formally announced at the time of writing.

10. Chumbak - September 10, Netflix

Five neighbouring families, ten friends and absolutely no chance of keeping anybody’s business private – that is the warm, wonderfully nosy world of ‘Chumbak’. Written and directed by Aatish Kapadia and produced by Kapadia and JD Majethia, the team behind Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and Khichdi, the Hindi family comedy boasts a sprawling ensemble led by Neena Gupta, Deven Bhojani, Arjun Bijlani, Helly Shah, Sumeet Vyas, Manasi Parekh, Amyra Dastur, Anant V Joshi, Delnaaz Irani, Sumeet Raghvan and Sandeepa Dhar. Small marital disagreements, parenting problems and celebrations rapidly become full-colony events in a show that treats unsolicited advice as both an irritant and a love language. After so many September kidnappings and killers, this may be the comfort binge everyone needs.

11. The Revolutionaries - September 11, Prime Video

Nikkhil Advani turns the spotlight towards young freedom fighters who believed armed resistance was essential to ending British rule. Created and directed by Advani, the Hindi period action series stars Bhuvan Bam, Rohit Saraf, Gurfateh Pirzada, Pratibha Ranta and Sai Dibyajoti Behera. Inspired by Sanjeev Sanyal’s book ‘Revolutionaries: The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom’, it follows four figures whose courage, ideological conviction and sacrifices helped shape India’s struggle but did not always receive equal space in popular memory. The combination of a young cast and large historical canvas makes this more than a textbook brought to life; it is designed as an urgent thriller about people who knew that rebellion could cost them everything. The series premieres worldwide on Prime Video.

12. Ghamasaan - September 11, ZEE5

Arshad Warsi and Pratik Gandhi face off in a battle where charm is unlikely to save anyone. Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, ‘Ghamasaan’ casts Arshad Warsi as feared dacoit Maharaj and Gandhi as IPS officer Aditya, who is summoned to stop him. Ishita Dutta and Rajpal Yadav also appear in the Hindi action drama. Power, politics and survival collide as the officer enters a world where the law may have authority on paper but Maharaj controls the ground. Dhulia has spent much of his career exploring men who build kingdoms outside respectable society, while Arshad Warsi and Pratik Gandhi are both expert at making intelligence feel more dangerous than brute force. That combination gives this dacoit-versus-cop confrontation considerably more bite than a routine chase.

13. Neagley - September 16, Prime Video

Jack Reacher’s fiercely capable ally finally gets a case – and a series – of her own. Developed by Nick Santora and Nicholas Wootton from Lee Child’s fictional universe, Neagley brings back Maria Sten as Frances Neagley, now a Chicago private investigator. When a close friend dies in a suspicious car accident, she begins an investigation driven by grief and a very Reacher-like refusal to accept convenient explanations. Alan Ritchson will guest star as Reacher, while Greyston Holt, Matthew Del Negro and Damon Herriman are among the supporting cast. All eight episodes drop together, so viewers will not have to spend seven days wondering which unfortunate villain is about to discover that Neagley is every bit as dangerous without her giant former mentor standing beside her.

14. Slow Horses Season 6 - September 16, Apple TV

Jackson Lamb’s spies remain underfunded, underappreciated and somehow always standing between Britain and disaster. Gary Oldman returns alongside Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Christopher Chung, Rosalind Eleazar, Jonathan Pryce and Hugo Weaving, while Olivia Cooke makes a much-anticipated comeback as Sid Baker. Adapted by new showrunner Gaby Chiappe from Mick Herron’s novels Joe Country and Slough House, and directed by Adam Randall, the six-episode season sends the Slough House team on the run after Diana Taverner drags them into a lethal game of retaliation and revenge. The first episode arrives on September 16, followed by weekly instalments through October 21 – because unlike Jackson Lamb, Apple would apparently prefer viewers to practise patience.

15. Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story - September 17, Netflix

Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s controversial true-crime anthology turns its attention to one of America’s most infamous unsolved murder stories. Ella Beatty plays Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquitted over the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother, portrayed here by Charlie Hunnam and Rebecca Hall. Vicky Krieps and Sarah Paulson are also part of the cast. The season examines Lizzie’s restrictive Victorian household, the killings and the cultural mythology that subsequently grew around her. One important calendar correction: a few early Indian round-ups listed September 27, but Netflix has officially set the premiere for September 17. Expect another season that becomes part performance showcase, part historical debate and part argument about where dramatisation ends and exploitation begins.

16. The Scandal - September 18, Netflix

Son Ye-jin, Ji Chang-wook and NANA enter a Joseon-era game of seduction in which desire is entertainment until somebody’s heart becomes collateral damage. Directed by Jung Ji-woo and created by Jung with Kim Jae-joong, the Korean period romance reimagines Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s Dangerous Liaisons. Son plays the gifted and unconventional Lady Cho, Ji stars as notorious lover Jo-won and NANA portrays Hui-yeon, the woman drawn into their dangerous wager. The story previously inspired the 2003 Korean film Untold Scandal, but this series format offers more room for social restriction, manipulation and emotional consequences. Think gorgeous robes, whispered schemes and people making catastrophically poor decisions with exceptional elegance.

17. Brothers - September 23, Apple TV

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have joked for years that they might secretly be related. Creator Lee Eisenberg takes that running gag, removes the word “might” and builds an entire comedy around the consequences. The actors play fictionalised versions of themselves who discover they are brothers and attempt to merge their very different families under one roof in Texas. Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, Oona Yaffe and Holland Taylor round out the ensemble. With David West Read and Eisenberg among the executive producers, the series turns celebrity chemistry into a domestic pressure cooker. Watching two old friends discover that family familiarity can be far more exhausting than friendship may be the month’s most agreeably strange premise.

18. UNABOMBER - September 25, Netflix

Director Janus Metz approaches the Ted Kaczynski case through two converging timelines: the making of a deeply alienated young man and the long investigation that finally identifies him. Jacob Tremblay plays Kaczynski as a teenage Harvard prodigy, Russell Crowe portrays professor Henry Murray and Shailene Woodley stars as FBI agent Joanne Miller. Annabelle Wallis, Alexander Ludwig, Steven Ogg and Marc Menchaca also feature. Inspired by real events, the film connects the controversial psychological experiments Kaczynski experienced at Harvard with the decades-long mail-bomb campaign that killed three people and injured 23. Rather than selling a simple mastermind-versus-FBI chase, UNABOMBER promises to examine how intellect, isolation, institutional power and grievance became a lethal combination.

19. Don’t Be Shy - September 25, Prime Video

September closes on a considerably sweeter note with Shyamili “Shy” Das, a 20-year-old whose carefully organised future immediately begins ignoring her plans once college starts. Written and directed by Sreeti Mukerji, the Hindi coming-of-age romantic comedy introduces Aarushi Bajaj, Ansh Duggal, Bianca Arora and Piyush Khati, with Kunaal Roy Kapur, Neha Dhupia, Anurag Basu and Anju Alva Naik in supporting roles. Produced by Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions, the film explores friendship, first love, heartbreak and the frightening discovery that becoming an adult does not come with an instruction manual. After a month filled with gangsters, kidnappers, spies and murder investigations, Shy’s messy college life may feel almost restful – until one remembers what being 20 was actually like.

From ‘The Runner’ and ‘Gandhari’ turning maternal desperation into action spectacles to ‘The Gentlemen’ and ‘Slow Horses’ bringing back two very different breeds of British criminals and spies, September has a release for almost every kind of viewer. The real challenge will not be finding something worth watching; it will be convincing yourself that “just one more episode” is a responsible weeknight decision.
