September brings a strong mix of returning favourites, high-profile new releases and a few unexpected gems to settle in with as summer draws to a close. From Guy Ritchie’s latest crime capers and a long-awaited Oasis reunion to lavish historical drama and a fresh take on one of gaming’s biggest horror franchises, there’s plenty competing for your attention this month. Whether you’re after something gripping, nostalgic or simply a great excuse to stay in, these are the titles worth adding to your September watchlist.

Guy Ritchie’s stylish crime series returns for a second season, with Theo James and Kaya Scodelario back as Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass. A year on, the pair have embraced their criminal partnership and are looking to expand their growing empire, but bigger ambitions bring bigger problems. As rivalries intensify and loyalties are tested, Eddie is increasingly comfortable in the world he once stumbled into. Expect the same blend of sharp dialogue, outrageous characters, aristocratic settings and underworld chaos that made the first season such a hit. With Ritchie’s signature style firmly intact, this is essential viewing for fans of British crime drama. Season 2 arrives on Netflix on September 3, with a third season already confirmed.

Forget the merry outlaw of traditional folklore. Michael Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood offers a darker, more brutal interpretation of the legendary figure, with Hugh Jackman playing an ageing and battle-worn Robin Hood and Jodie Comer as a mysterious woman who offers him a final chance at redemption. Gravely injured after what he believes will be his last battle, Robin is forced to confront the life of violence and crime that made him a legend. With Bill Skarsgård also starring as Little John, the film promises something considerably more sombre and visceral than previous adaptations. It’s a fascinating reinvention of one of Britain’s most enduring myths, and a particularly intriguing September cinema choice.

For anyone who remembers the cultural phenomenon that was Oasis, this documentary is almost impossible to resist. Don’t Look Back in Anger follows Liam and Noel Gallagher as they reunite for Oasis Live ’25, offering unprecedented access to rehearsals, backstage moments and the band's triumphant return to the stage. Most significantly, it features the brothers’ first joint interviews in more than 20 years, giving fans a rare glimpse behind one of music’s most famously complicated relationships. Created by Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the film captures both the spectacle of the reunion and its emotional significance for generations of fans. It arrives in UK cinemas in September before its later Disney+ release.

The battle for control of London’s criminal underworld continues when MobLand returns for its second season. Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren all reprise their roles as Harry Da Souza, Conrad Harrigan and Maeve Harrigan, with the Harrigan family facing fresh threats to its already fractured empire. Following the explosive events of season one, alliances are becoming increasingly unstable and the family must attempt to present a united front as rivals circle. Expect more violence, betrayal and dark humour from Guy Ritchie’s crime saga, with the ten-episode season rolling out weekly rather than dropping all at once. Season 2 premieres on Paramount+ on September 18, making this one of the month’s biggest returning dramas.

If you somehow missed Steven Knight’s lavish historical drama when it premiered last year, September is the perfect excuse to catch up. Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, House of Guinness follows the family behind one of the world’s most famous breweries after the death of patriarch Sir Benjamin Guinness. With his four adult children left to navigate their inheritance, ambitions and increasingly complicated relationships, the series plays like a Victorian-era family power struggle, complete with political unrest, secrets and plenty of scandal. Starring Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge and Emily Fairn, the eight-part drama combines the historical sweep of a period piece with the addictive family intrigue of a modern prestige drama.

Sometimes the best thing to watch in September is something you may have overlooked the first time around. Tom Hooper’s The Damned United remains one of the best football dramas of the past two decades, with Michael Sheen giving a memorable performance as the famously outspoken Brian Clough. The film follows Clough’s ill-fated 44-day tenure as manager of Leeds United in 1974, where his uncompromising personality quickly clashes with the players, board and legacy of his predecessor Don Revie. Written by Peter Morgan and featuring a superb supporting cast including Timothy Spall, Jim Broadbent and Stephen Graham, it is as much a character study of ambition and ego as it is a football film.

September brings a new cinematic chapter for one of gaming’s most enduring horror franchises. Directed by Zach Cregger, the filmmaker behind Barbarian and Weapons, Resident Evil is an entirely new story rather than a straightforward adaptation of one of the games. Austin Abrams stars as Bryan, a medical courier who finds himself caught in a terrifying race for survival as a catastrophic night unfolds around him. Cregger has promised a film that captures the spirit and mechanics of the games while telling its own story, making this an intriguing proposition for both longtime fans and newcomers. With its combination of survival horror, action and the familiar threat of a viral outbreak, Resident Evil arrives in UK cinemas on September 18.
