Apple TV+ September Lineup: Reynolds, McConaughey, and More

From Ryan Reynolds' Cold War comedy 'Mayday' to McConaughey and Harrelson's 'Brothers,' here's what's hitting Apple TV+ this September.

Ready to clear your schedule? Apple TV+ just dropped its September lineup, and it's packed with star power. Whether you're into action-comedies, gripping thrillers, or just want to see Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson riff on their real-life bromance, there's something for you. Let's break down the highlights.

First up is 'Mayday,' an action comedy set during the Cold War. Ryan Reynolds stars as Lieutenant Troy 'Assassin' Kelly, a cocky Navy pilot who ends up stranded behind enemy lines. He's rescued—or rather, discovered—by an ex-KGB agent named Nikolai Ustinov, played by Kenneth Branagh. Ustinov has a weird fascination with American culture, which sets the stage for an unlikely buddy spy movie that blends laughs with high-stakes action. If the trailer hasn't sold you yet, there's also an exclusive clip floating around from IGN that gives you a taste of the chemistry between Reynolds and Branagh.

If you're in the mood for something darker, check out 'The Dispatcher,' a six-part series based on Ryan David Jahn's novel. It follows Ian Ridley (Patrick Brammall), a former detective still haunted by his daughter's disappearance over a decade ago. Now working as a police dispatcher, he gets a call from a teenage girl in distress, and he's convinced she might be his long-lost daughter. Brammall might look familiar—he played the Australian love interest in this year's 'Devil Wears Prada' sequel (yes, that's a thing).

And of course, 'Slow Horses' is back for its sixth season. If you haven't jumped on this train yet, now's the perfect time. Gary Oldman is absolutely phenomenal as the grumpy, disgraced spy Jackson Lamb, and the show is a sharp, darkly funny take on the spy genre. The new season brings back Olivia Cooke's fan-favorite character, which should make longtime viewers very happy. Plus, the show's already been renewed for a seventh season, so you know it's not going anywhere.

But the big one this month has to be 'Brothers.' McConaughey and Harrelson play fictionalized versions of themselves, leaning into those long-standing rumors that they're secretly related. The comedy explores their friendship and what happens when the world finds out they might actually be brothers. The premiere drops with the first two episodes, then new episodes arrive every Wednesday after that.

So, what are you most excited to watch this September? Will you be tuning into 'Mayday' for some Cold War hijinks, or are you all in on 'Brothers'? Let us know in the comments!
