Headline originals anchor the month
Paramount+ will center its September 2026 schedule on a cluster of high-profile originals and premieres. MobLand Season 2, the Guy Ritchie crime drama starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, premieres September 18 as the marquee returning series. New Paramount+ Originals include workplace comedy The Varnell Hill Show, debuting September 1 with Tommy Davidson reprising a character from Martin, and the family-friendly superhero film Clash of the Thundermans on September 3. Later in the month, Tyler Perry's limited series Route 187, about a journalist tracking a suspected serial killer, and the animated adaptation of Sega's Golden Axe both premiere September 16, while the unscripted series Team Moms: Baseball arrives September 24.
Returning series and franchise revivals
Beyond the originals, September brings the final season of acclaimed comedy Colin From Accounts on September 10, BET Studios drama Sacrifice's second season on September 30, and Survivor Season 51 on CBS beginning September 23. South Park launches Season 29 on Comedy Central on September 16, with episodes streaming the following day on Paramount+ in the U.S. On the film side, the Scary Movie streaming debut on September 3 is billed with an exclusive extended cut. Star Trek's 60th anniversary on September 8 is being marked by a refreshed Star Trek Collection, and the Rocky boxing franchise is being added to the service. A refreshed One Mountain, Una Familia collection will spotlight Latino stories during Hispanic Heritage Month.
Live sports run alongside entertainment
Sports coverage is being woven into the September lineup, including NFL ON CBS coverage with doubleheaders in Weeks 1 and 3, college football matchups on CBS, and UEFA Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Women's Champions League, Barclays Women's Super League and Serie A soccer. Combat sports highlights include UFC Fight Night: Parnasse vs. Hooker on September 5, Noche UFC: Rodriguez vs. Silva and Zuffa Boxing: Garcia vs. Benn on September 12, UFC 331: Van vs. Pantoja 2 on September 19, and UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos on September 26. Additional live events include NWSL, WNBA, SailGP, PBR and the U.S. Open Cup Semifinals. The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards will air live on CBS on September 27, and The Amazing Race Season 39 is scheduled for September 30.
Awards-season positioning and competitive context
With MobLand Season 2 arriving mid-September and the VMAs closing out the month on September 27, Paramount+ is stacking its slate in the period that typically feeds into awards-season conversations. The combination of a returning prestige drama, a major live awards broadcast, and tentpole franchise moments such as Star Trek's 60th anniversary gives the service multiple leverage points against rival streaming competitors during the same window. The September launch of Survivor Season 39's successor cycle on broadcast, alongside Route 187 and Golden Axe as fresh originals, illustrates a strategy of pairing event television with library IP refreshes to drive both subscriber engagement and awards-eligible visibility.
Where the two reports agree and diverge
Both reports agree on the headline dates: MobLand Season 2 on September 18, Scary Movie streaming debut on September 3, The Varnell Hill Show on September 1, and South Park Season 29 beginning September 16 on Comedy Central with next-day streaming. They also align on Colin From Accounts final season (September 10), Golden Axe and Route 187 (both September 16), Team Moms: Baseball (September 24), and Sacrifice Season 2 (September 30). One outlet refers to the Scary Movie entry as "Scary Movie" and the other as "Scary Movie 6," indicating ambiguity about the installment number in the franchise.
What remains uncertain
Neither report specifies which day in September the full library additions such as the Rocky Collection and the refreshed One Mountain, Una Familia titles will become available, or how long the Star Trek 60th anniversary spotlight programming will remain featured. The Paramount+ September schedule is also presented as a U.S. lineup, and the reports do not clarify how the rollout will differ in international markets.
