While many Bostonians may choose to spend their few remaining summer evenings outdoors, the temptation to chill on the couch is immense thanks to intriguing new streaming options available on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney Plus.
Amazon Prime Video is leading the pack this month with the premiere of its long-gestating “Lord of the Rings” series. Given the success of Peter Jackson’s films and that “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is the most expensive TV series ever made, expectations are immense.
Netflix, meanwhile, has the NC-17 Marilyn Monroe drama “Blonde” and Season 5 of its popular “Karate Kid” spinoff series “Cobra Kai,” while HBO Max brings us Baz Luhrmann’s delightfully daffy biopic “Elvis.”
Hulu’s September slate is loaded with returning shows, including the final season of Donald Glover’s “Atlanta” and the Season 5 premiere of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Following Amazon’s example of making up its own holiday with Prime Day, Disney has declared September 8 to be Disney Plus Day, and is celebrating with the release of Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” the live-action “Pinocchio” movie, and the premiere of its new Star Wars series “Andor,” among other new titles.
Here’s the full list of new movies and TV shows now streaming on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney Plus in September 2022.
