10 new TV shows for September: The Gentlemen, Slow Horses, and the Brennan brothers
Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey in 'Brothers'; Kaya Scodelario and Theo James in 'The Gentlemen'
Donal Skehan heads to Italy to explore the dishes that have shaped his cooking, revisiting honeymoon memories in Florence, learning from two Nonne and sampling the Italian-American influence in Los Angeles. There’s pasta by the plateful, long lunches and a few speedy fixes thrown in for the less patient among us.
How did RTÉ help shape modern Ireland? This new documentary traces the journey from crystal radio sets to TikTok, examining the broadcaster’s influence on news, sport, entertainment, drama, comedy and, of course, the Irish language. It also asks what public service broadcasting might look like as Ireland heads into the next century.
Theo James returns for another round of Guy Ritchie’s impeccably dressed criminal shenanigans. Sharp suits, sharper dialogue and stylised violence are on the menu again. A third season has already been confirmed.
The Brennans are back, armed with business advice and a tolerance for others' problems. This season the brothers help a Cashel farming couple make the leap from dairy into hospitality, assist a mother and daughter in Shanbally with their country house, and try to save a struggling pub and restaurant in Louth.
Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb returns with the misfits of Slough House in tow, once again finding trouble where they least need it. This time, the team is dragged into a deadly game of retaliation and revenge. Six seasons in, it remains one of the rare spy thrillers that can make espionage feel both dangerous and enormously fun.
Another month, another monster for Ryan Murphy to dissect. This time it’s Lizzie Borden, accused of murdering her father and stepmother in 1892. The series digs into the notorious case and the theories surrounding it, including the question that has lingered for more than a century: why?
The Harrigans and Stevensons are still at each other’s throats, and nobody seems remotely interested in calling a truce. Tom Hardy is expected back as fixer Harry Da Souza, despite earlier rumours of his departure. Consider the family business very much open.
The nights are getting shorter, the sequins are coming out and Strictly is back with trademark spray tans and heroic attempts at the cha-cha. Josh Widdicombe, Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe take over from hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
Twelve years after True Detective, real life besties Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are back together. In Brothers the duo play fictionalised versions of themselves, with their friendship tested when they decide to live under the same roof. Two old friends, one house and a very good recipe for trouble.
Thirteen seasons in, Ryan Murphy’s horror factory keeps churning. Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates are among the fan favourites returning for another round of murder, mayhem and supernatural nastiness.
