Apple TV+ continues its streak of critically acclaimed series with the launch of “Slow Horses” Season 5 on Wednesday, September 24. The Emmy-winning spy thriller, starring Gary Oldman as the curmudgeonly Jackson Lamb, picks up with the dysfunctional agents of Slough House facing a new, increasingly bizarre set of circumstances. This season’s mystery kicks off with tech whiz Roddy Ho revealing a glamorous new girlfriend, a development that soon entangles the team in a plot with city-wide implications. New episodes will roll out weekly every Wednesday through October 29.

The Guinness Dynasty Takes Center Stage on Netflix

From Steven Knight, the visionary creator behind “Peaky Blinders,” comes “House of Guinness,” a new historical drama premiering Thursday, September 25, on Netflix. The eight-part series delves into the tumultuous lives of the four adult children of Benjamin Guinness following the death of the patriarch in 1868. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Ireland and New York, the show explores the intense family feuds, business rivalries, and societal tensions that arose as they vied for control of the iconic brewing empire. While inspired by true stories and featuring real historical figures, the series also embraces dramatic license to fill in the narrative gaps.

Psychological Thrillers and Troubled Teens Arrive

Netflix also welcomes “Wayward,” a mystery thriller miniseries from creator Mae Martin, premiering Thursday, September 25. Starring Mae Martin as a police officer and Toni Collette as the enigmatic head teacher of a boarding school for “troubled teens,” the series unravels dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of a seemingly idyllic town. Inspired by real-world experiences within the “troubled teen industry,” “Wayward” promises a suspenseful and thought-provoking narrative that questions authority and manipulation.

Adding to the week’s suspense is “The Man in My Basement,” a psychological thriller arriving on Hulu and Disney+ on Friday, September 26. Starring Corey Hawkins and Willem Dafoe, the film adapts Walter Mosley’s acclaimed novel, delving into themes of race, family trauma, and buried secrets through the unsettling dynamic between a homeowner and his mysterious tenant.

Other Notable Releases

Also premiering this week is the second season of the popular Japanese thriller “Alice in Borderland” on Netflix, with all episodes dropping on Friday, September 26, promising more deadly games and high-stakes survival. Additionally, the romantic comedy “French Lover” makes its debut on Netflix on September 26, offering a lighter, Parisian-infused escape.

This packed week of releases ensures that fans of animation, espionage, historical drama, and psychological suspense will have no shortage of compelling content to explore. The diverse range of new Tv and Movies available highlights the continued expansion and variety within the streaming world.
