September will see a lengthy list of new and returning TV shows hit streaming services.
Prime Video arguably has the most-anticipated project of the month with the debut of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” The series is a prequel, taking place thousands of years before the original trilogy and “The Hobbit” films.
Disney+ is also offering a new fantasy series in September — “Star Wars: Andor,” which follows the franchise’s titular captain on a journey to make a difference.
Hulu will be debuting the fifth season of popular dystopian series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which picks up from characters June killing Commander Waterford and Serena trying to raise her profile as Gilead’s influence continues to grow.
