Netflix, Prime, Disney & Co.
The streaming autumn brings these highlights
Autumn is an important season for new films and series at the streaming services. A lot is in the starting blocks, including season two of “Maxton Hall” and the end of “Stranger Things”.
Streaming services like to go out successes, recycles a lot, produce sequels and prequels, but sometimes have completely new goods on offer. The celebrated racing film “F1” with superstar Brad Pitt at AppleTV+ and the very successful real film remake of the cartoon “Lilo & Stitch” at Disney+ will come into the program until the end of the year.
What the streaming year until New Year’s Eve brings – a selection:
“Wednesday” – season 2, part 2 (3rd 9th, Netflix)
The Netflix series “Wednesday” by Tim Burton is a pop culture phenomenon. The mix of mystery thrillers, fantasy, coming-of-age and black humor hits a nerve, especially in young people. Now the second part of the second season around the daughter of the Addams Family Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) and her life starts at the Nevermore Adademy.
It becomes dark again: In the first four episodes of the second season, which can be seen at Netflix since August, Wednesday loses her visual skills. In addition, she spends herself with her mother (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who wants to help her get her gift back. And as in season one, Wednesday has to clarify a mysterious series of murder.
“Tulsa King” – third season (from September 21, Paramount+)
Sylvester Stallone again slips into the role of New York Mafia-Capos Dwight “The General” Manfredi, who mixes up the province in Tulsa/Oklahoma. So far, little is known about the plot of the third season of “Tulsa King”. Manfredi is in the new episodes with the influential Dunmire family and in turn gets support from an old jail buddy.
With Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a top star punches for the line-up, who will soon get his own spin-off series with “Nola King”. Kevin Pollak (“Casino”) and Robert Patrick (“Terminator 2”) are also new in the humorous mafia series. The first of ten episodes can be seen on September 21 at Paramount+. Further episodes appear every week.
“The Savant” (from September 26th, Apple TV+)
This new thriller series is based on an allegedly true story and is about a woman who infiltrated online hate groups to prevent attacks and large-scale attacks. Film star Jessica Chastain plays the leading role and is also executive producer of the eight -part mini series. “The Savant” begins with two episodes on September 26 on Apple TV+, followed by a new episode every Friday to November 7th.
“Monster: The story of Ed Gein” (3.10., Netflix)
The previous miniseries from the “Monster” series – “Dahmer – Monster: The story of Jeffrey Dahmer” (2022) and “Monster: The History of Lyle and Erik Menendez” (2024) – are among the most successful series at Netflix. The fascination for true crime fabric is a worldwide phenomenon.
In the third season (“Monster: The History of Ed Gein”) with Charlie Hunnam in the leading role, tells of the serial murderer, grave robber, psychopaths Gein, who was said to have been up to mischief and films such as “Psycho” or “The silence of the lambs”, especially in the 1950s. Vicky Krieps also plays in the series.
“Maxton Hall – the world between us” – Season 2 (November 7th, Prime Video)
The second season is again about the big feelings. The first season became a global hit at Amazon Prime and triggered a hype. The new episodes now build on the love story between the ambitious student Ruby Bell (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and the arrogant school swarm James Beaufort (Damian Hardung).
The first season ended with James experiencing his mother’s sudden death. That changes everything. Ruby has no idea what problems you are now. While she wants to get her old life back, James tries everything to get her back. Can that work?
“Nobody Wants This” – second season (October 23rd, Netflix)
If a freshly separate rabbi and a sex podcasterin, for which religion does not matter, fall in love. Can that work? After Noah (Adam Brody) and Joanne (Kristen Bell) found themselves in the first season of the love comedy “Nobody Wants This”, in love quickly and fought with great obstacles, the question is still open.
“What kind of victim is it worth? What does growth mean, or what does it mean to take yourself back to be with someone else?” Brody describes the questions with which the series deals with. “It is a victim, but ideally you grow together and get better – you don’t have to chop on a leg yourself.”
An adult, more mature look at relationships than in many older Rome coms (Romantic Comedys) who were more aimed at younger spectators. The new episodes should still be something for the heart – or precisely because of that? And for fans of the “Sexy Rabbi” (that’s how the nickname is in the series!) Certainly for the eyes.
The ten episodes of the second season will be available from Netflix from October 23. Incidentally, the first season is nominated for an Emmy Award as the best comedy series (award is on September 14th).
“Down Cemetery Road” (from October 29th, Apple TV+)
Apple TV+ hires many stars and lets them realize projects that they have always wanted to do. The thriller series “Down Cemetery Road” deals with a woman who hires an investigator after there is an explosion in one and the same night in a quiet suburb and a girl seems to disappear without a trace.
The main actress and executive producer is Emma Thompson. The eight divider starts with two episodes on October 29 on Apple TV+, followed by a new episode every Wednesday to December 10th.
“Frankenstein” by Guillermo del Toro (November 7th, Netflix)
Guillermo del Toro makes films in which Monster are not just creepy, but have something vulnerable and often beautiful – including in his version of “Frankenstein”. He tells the story of a scientist who loses control of his self -made creature as an emotional drama. The monster, played by “Saltburn” star Jacob Elordi, is anything but monstrous – but a sensitive, longing being.
Del Toro also remains true to his style: his “Frankenstein” is visually opulent and impressive. Before its streaming start, the film can be seen in the cinema from October 23.
“Stranger Things” – final season (from November 27th, Netflix)
For three and a half years, the Duffer brothers have stretched the fans of “Stranger Things” on the torture. In November, the 80s saga finally goes into the fifth season, which also heralds the final. Hawkins went crazy from cracks to the other world in autumn 1987. A large military contingent shields the small town. The “Stranger Things” heroes finally want to find and kill Vecna. But it has disappeared. Elfi also has to dive so as not to fall into the hands of the authorities.
Netflix came up with something special for the last round: Linda Hamilton, known as Sarah Connor from the “Terminator” films, plays with – as a mysterious doctor. The episodes 1 to 4 will appear on November 27, the episodes 5 to 7 follow on December 26th. The large series finale goes online on January 1, 2026.
George Clooney in “Jay Kelly” (5.12., Netflix)
Noah Baumbach, man of “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig, tailored his new film to Hollywood star George Clooney. The 64-year-old plays himself in the Netflix film, so to speak: an older, charming actor with great success. In the film, however, his figure struggles with life and gets into an existential crisis on a trip to Italy.
Great on Clooney’s side: Adam Sandler and Laura Dern. Before the streaming start, “Jay Kelly” can be seen in the cinemas from November 14th.
“Emily in Paris” – season 5 (December 18, Netflix)
“Hate-Watching” is called the phenomenon to see media content that is actually bad, for example to make fun of it. A popular sperm goal for this is the perfectly fully kitsch series “Emily in Paris” with Lily Collins about an American in France.
At the end of season four, the audience was left behind with a lot of unresolved luxury problems. Does Emily actually go from the city of love to Italy, to the charming Marcello in Rome? Will the workers also become disappointed there by these work-life balance European Europeans?
Anyone who comes home after a hard day in the evening wanted to have it easy in front of the television, said the author and moderator Roger Willemsen, who died almost ten years ago. “He has that when he looks with contrary fascination.” Season five of “Emily in Paris” starts shortly before Christmas.
“Amadeus” – new mini series (late 2025, Sky/Wow)
Miloš Formans Mozart film drama “Amadeus” is considered a masterpiece, won eight Oscars in 1985. Now comes a mini series at Sky, which is also based on Peter Shaffer’s award -winning stage. Mozart (Will Sharpe) is shown as “rock star of the 18th century in a symphony of genius, rivalry and revenge”, as it is said. Paul Bettany plays the misplair court composer Antonio Salieri and Gabrielle Creevy Mozart’s dear Constanze. Start: in late 2025.
