When you finally log off from your marathon gaming sessions this weekend, a massive wave of new television premieres is hitting streaming services and traditional networks to fill the downtime. Polygon highlights a packed weekend lineup running from September 25 to 27 across Netflix, FX, Apple TV, and more. Horror fans have plenty to dig into as American Horror Story launches its landmark thirteenth season on FX, bringing back legacy heavyweights like Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters for a massive nostalgia trip that leans heavily into the anthology series' roots.
For those looking for high-stakes drama and thrillers, Jon Hamm stars in American Hostage on MGM+, a gripping true-crime series based on a tense 1977 radio standoff, while Apple TV drops a comedy pairing Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as fictionalized versions of themselves exploring a potential family connection. Meanwhile, Netflix expands its catalog with a heavy hitters list that includes a sequel series to A Different World set at Hillman College, all three seasons of Party Down, and Wonka's the Golden Ticket, a reality competition hosted by Howie Mandel, Nick Cannon, and Wayne Brady that drops contestants into a retro-futuristic chocolate factory.
Between the return of classic franchises and fresh concepts dropping on platforms like Peacock and Starz, there is no shortage of background viewing for your second monitor while grinding battle passes or queuing into ranked matches. Check out the original reporting over at Polygon for the complete breakdown of premiere dates and episode counts before your weekend watch parties begin.
