Everything British Worth Streaming in September 2023
Welcome back to autumn and the traditional kick-off to the television season. Don't let people tell you that streaming has won that war and made the television season a year-round event; our lists say otherwise. For the first time since May 2023, nearly every major streaming service is represented with at least one new arrival across the pond, from Acorn TV and AMC+ to Paramount+ and Showtime. Between ten different services, we've got a good dozen and a half titles in the September lineup coming to U.S. streaming this month.
Even those who don't have new arrivals (Starz, Peacock) have ongoing concerns fans care about, with Men in Kilts Season 2 airing once a week through September on Starz and Peacock's ongoing coverage of British sport. And, of course, don't forget to check out our PBS Passport streaming list, which has become so crowded that it now gets its own standalone post.
This month's offerings also run the gamut of genres, with reality TV favorites returning for new seasons, high-profile films hoping for Oscar gold, nature documentaries, fantasy, drama, comedy, true crime, and a few unexpected surprises. Whatever you're looking for in British entertainment, there's at least one title on this list for everybody. So let's run down the best of British TV coming to American shores and where to find it.
