The 7 picks that redefine fall streaming and broadcast in 2025

1 – Stranger Things 5: The Final Ride That Will Break Group Chats

Netflix schedules the final chapter across Nov. 26, 2025, with a staggered episode rollout that forces appointment viewing. If you loved the highs and hogwash of previous seasons, expect the finale to dominate holidays – you’ll want to plan binge watch parties.

2 – Only Murders In The Building S5: A Star-Studded Mystery With Bite

Season 5 on Hulu returns Sept. 9, 2025, and the trio’s doorman mystery promises big guest turns and meta twists. If you liked sharp satire plus cozy puzzle-solving, this season keeps the show’s witty DNA while raising stakes.

3 – Gen V Season 2: The Superhero Campus That Gets Darker (and Weirder)

Season 2 launches Sept. 17, 2025, on Prime Video, and the show ties directly into The Boys’ endgame – expect crossover consequences. If you follow franchise threads, this is the midseason connector you can’t miss.

4 – The Girlfriend: Robin Wright’s Psychological Twist You’ll Talk About

Prime Video’s adaptation of Michelle Frances drops Sept. 10, 2025, and trades in slow-burn dread for glossy, unreliable perspectives. If you like domestic thrillers that double as character studies, this one will scratch that itch.

5 – The Paper: A Newsroom Reboot That Feels Timely Again

Peacock’s newsroom comedy-drama bowed Sept. 4, 2025, and its small-town press lens is unexpectedly sharp on modern media. If newsroom satire is your genre, this is a surprisingly warm, tempestuous ride worth bookmarking.

6 – Black Rabbit: A Nightlife Thriller With Major Leads To Watch

Netflix’s Black Rabbit premieres Sept. 18, 2025, starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman in a sibling-fueled crime drama. If you want a noir-ish set piece about power and danger in the city, drop this on your queue now.

7 – The Morning Show Season 4: Corporate News, Higher Stakes, Real Consequences

Apple TV+ returns Sept. 17, 2025, and the writers lean into deepfakes, mergers and newsroom ruin porn with a stacked cast. If you follow prestige TV power plays, this one’s built to provoke hate-tweet threads.
