Put these brand new Apple TV+ titles on your watchlist this month
Written by admin on September 3, 2024
Apple TV+ doesn’t have a very busy schedule this month in terms of new releases. That’s par for the course, though, given that the iPhone maker’s small streamer has professed a focus on quantity over quality from the very beginning. And, indeed, quality abounds for Apple subscribers this month thanks to a handful of new prestige dramas as well as a high-profile original film that reunites George Clooney and Brad Pitt for a mostly fun crime dramedy.
Below, we’ll run through the new titles you’ll want to add to your watchlist if you’re subscribed to Apple TV+, starting with a new season of an old favorite.
Slow Horses (returns Sept. 4)
Here’s the thing about Slow Horses, the Apple TV+ adaptation of author Mick Herron’s series of spy novels that was already absolutely magnificent. In the highly anticipated fourth season, which debuts this week, the Gary Oldman-led drama somehow managed to get even better.
Our review of the six-episode season has all the details, but suffice it to say that this new outing — based on Spook Street, the fourth book in Herron’s series — ratchets up the tension, the drama, the heroics, and the quality storytelling. The Slow Horses get pulled into an investigation regarding a bombing of a posh London shopping center, which also has a connection to the past of both River Cartwright and his grandfather, David Cartwright, the legendary ex-spy.

La Maison (debuts Sept. 20)
French elegance meets high fashion meets a juicy Succession-like tale in this 10-episode Apple TV+ drama starring Lambert Wilson as legendary fashion designer Vincent Ledu.
Ledu throws his family’s iconic fashion house into disarray and scandal thanks to a viral video, a consequence of which is that the future of his family’s haute couture house LEDU hangs in the balance. The ruthless CEO of a powerful luxury brand launches an offensive to acquire Maison LEDU, and “to achieve her goal,” Apple explains, “anything is fair game, as this is more than acquiring just another brand — it’s about revenge.” Meanwhile, Vincent’s former muse teams up with a visionary next-generation designer to evolve and save the 100-year-old Maison LEDU.
You can read more about the show in our preview here, but as noted above — this one definitely deserves a spot on your watchlist if you’re looking for something to fill the Succession-sized hole in your heart.
