‘The Guest’ (2025)

I just got a sneak peek at this new Colombian drama arriving September 24th, and it’s a real slow-burn. It focuses on a couple desperately trying to rebuild trust after an affair, but their fragile peace is shattered when someone from the wife’s past shows up. The series, starring Carmen Villalobos, Laura Londoño, and Jason Day, is a tense, psychological thriller – think secrets, shifting alliances, and a lot of underlying tension. It’s definitely one to watch if you enjoy a good domestic drama with a bit of mystery.

I just finished watching this new show by Lina Uribe and Darío Vanegas, and I’m really impressed. It’s a tightly focused story, all happening within one family, that beautifully explores how much our past relationships shape who we are today. The show really builds slowly, and by the season finale on September 24th, everything comes together in a way that feels incredibly emotionally resonant. Each episode adds another layer to the mystery, and honestly, it just kept me more and more invested.

‘Spartacus’ (2010–2013)

I’m so excited to revisit this incredible show! It’s a historical drama about Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who led a major slave revolt in ancient Rome, and it starts back up on September 23rd. Throughout the series, we follow his journey. Andy Whitfield originally played Spartacus, and later Liam McIntyre took on the role. The supporting cast is amazing too – Lucy Lawless, John Hannah, Manu Bennett, Peter Mensah, and Katrina Law all deliver fantastic performances.

Created by Steven S. DeKnight, this series combines thrilling action with complex political maneuvering, following the shifting relationships between gladiators and those in power in ancient Rome. Filmed in New Zealand with a distinctive visual style, the story spans the first season, a preceding miniseries, and later storylines – all of which will be available to stream again starting September 23rd.

‘Blippi’s Job Show’ (2025– )

The new season of Blippi and Meekah starts Monday, September 22nd, and it’s perfect for families! In each episode, Blippi and Meekah visit different workplaces to show preschoolers what people do on the job. They’ll explore careers like pilots, mechanics, vets, and zookeepers, demonstrating the tools they use, how to stay safe, and the importance of working together.

The popular series, created by Moonbug Entertainment and starring Clayton Grimm as Blippi and Cashaé Monya as Meekah, returns with new episodes on September 22nd. Continuing the show’s signature style, each episode takes viewers on a field trip, explaining jobs and concepts in a way that’s easy for kids to understand. The show also features interviews with professionals, helping children – and their parents – see how everyday work connects to important skills like curiosity, responsibility, and problem-solving.

‘Crime Scene Zero’ (2025– )

Premiering on Tuesday, September 23rd, this Korean reality show combines mystery and investigation. Players become both detectives and suspects, working through carefully created cases. Each episode presents a case file, evidence, and interviews, challenging the panel to reconstruct events, understand motivations, and ultimately identify the guilty party.

The show stars Jang Jin, Park Ji-yoon, and Jang Dong-min. Created by Yun Hyun-joon and Hwang Seul-woo, it’s the latest installment of the popular ‘Crime Scene’ series. Premiering on September 23rd, the program focuses on solving mysteries through deduction, checking alibis, and analyzing evidence, encouraging viewers to play detective alongside the cast and guess the solution as the story unfolds.

‘Alice in Borderland’ (2020– )

I’m really excited for the return of this Japanese sci-fi thriller on September 25th! It’s based on a manga, and follows Arisu and Usagi as they’re thrown into another round of dangerous games in an empty version of Tokyo. They’re desperately trying to figure out where these games come from and what the point of all the card-themed challenges is.

Shinsuke Satō directed the series, also collaborating on the writing with Yoshiki Watabe and Yasuko Kuramitsu. Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya reprise their roles as Arisu and Usagi. The new season, arriving September 25th, continues the exciting combination of challenging games, thrilling action, and compelling character stories, with familiar faces both helping and hindering the protagonists.

‘House of Guinness’ (2025)

I just got a sneak peek at a new historical drama hitting screens this Thursday, September 25th, and it’s quite compelling. It begins in Dublin, 1868, with the passing of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the head of the famous brewery. What follows is a fascinating look at his children – Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben – as they navigate the complicated world of inheritance, fight for power, and try to live up to their father’s legacy. But it’s not just a family saga; the series brilliantly weaves in the dramatic social and political changes happening across 19th-century Ireland and beyond, creating a really rich and engaging story.

Created by Steven Knight and directed by Tom Shankland, the series features Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn, and Fionn O’Shea, with guest appearances by James Norton and Jack Gleeson. Produced by Kudos and Stigma Films, it premiered on September 25th and centers around a power struggle where family business, personal relationships, and public image all clash.

‘Wayward’ (2025)

This suspenseful film, released on September 25th, takes a disturbing look at programs for troubled teenagers. It’s set in a town that seems perfect on the surface, but hides a boarding school where students are secretly controlled. The story follows both the teens experiencing this control and the adults who start to realize something is wrong.

Mae Martin created and leads this series, which also stars Toni Collette, Sarah Gadon, Patrick J. Adams, Brandon Jay McLaren, and Alyvia Alyn Lind. Directed by Euros Lyn and others, and produced by Objective Fiction and Sphere Media, the show premieres on September 25th and explores themes of power, identity, and responsibility through the stories of a diverse group of characters.

‘Ángela’ (2024)

Premiering on September 26th, this Spanish series centers on Ángela, a woman whose seemingly ideal family hides a reality of abuse and manipulation. The arrival of Edu sparks a dangerous attraction and a tempting offer that could be her way out, but it pushes her to confront difficult choices and question who she really is.

This six-part miniseries, starring Verónica Sánchez, Daniel Grao, and Jaime Zatarain, is a gripping psychological thriller that explores themes of independence and staying alive. Directed by Norberto López Amado, the complete story is revealed over six episodes, airing weekly starting September 26th.
