Top picks
Only Murders in the Building: Season 5 (September 9)
Streep! Zellweger! Waltz! The return of Nathan Lane and Richard Kind! In the most recent season of this frothy, star-studded whodunnit, a more personal murder than ever won’t get in the way of big celebs stopping and facing the clumsy interrogations of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. This time, the trio’s beloved doorman is the one who shows up dead, and the sad discovery leads into a deep dive into New York City’s criminal underworld. As if the kooky residents of the Arconia haven’t caused the podcasting pals enough trouble, warring mob families and corrupt billionaires present a grander threat than ever before.
FX’s The Lowdown: Premiere (September 24)
Made by the creator of FX’s brilliant Reservation Dogs, this shaggy trip into the history of Tulsa, Oklahoma features a grizzled Ethan Hawke as “truthstorian” Lee Raybon, loosely based on a real citizen journalist. The supporting cast is sensational, too, including Keith David, Tim Blake Nelson, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Keith David, Kyle MacLachlan and many more fab names.
Crime fiction writer Walter Mosley pens one of the episodes, which should tell you something about the pulpy, gritty sensibility the show’s aiming for: Hawke’s protagonist is one of those men who know too much, who are always getting tailed and trailed for the darkness they’re daring to uncover. Noir stuff with an eye for real, disturbing American history.
Chad Powers: Season 1 Premiere (September 30)
Glen Powell seems to regard himself as a man of many guises. In his Netflix film Hit Man, the actor and co-writer wasn’t afraid to bung on a silly wig or moustache to play an undercover agent, and here he is again in a prosthetic schnoz and Owen Wilson nose. Maybe all actors are big lairs and frauds and Powell’s just big enough to be real about it?
Also a co-writer on this sporty comedy, Powell’s disgraced quarterback realises the only way he can ever play college football (gridiron to us) again is by wearing a silly disguise and pretending he’s “Chad Powers”, a goofy yet extremely talented newcomer to his Southern uni. Expect charm supreme, and a whole lotta fist-pumping footy moments.
