Stream ‘Scrubs’ Season 2, ‘War,’ ‘Lanterns’ finale, more this week
It’s a packed week of new TV show premieres, especially on HBO Max and Hulu.
The end of September and beginning of October were long considered peak TV season before streaming. With colder weather settling in, viewers are spending more time indoors, and that means more time to cozy up on the couch watching a new TV obsession. Streaming has largely thwarted the seasonality of new TV releases, but a large concentration of new releases still lands around this time of year. See which titles we recommend watching every day of the upcoming week if you’re overwhelmed with choice!
Something to stream every day this week
Monday, Sept. 28
‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle’ premiere | Hulu, Netflix
“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” follows Tanjiro Kamado, who must accompany an elite corps of master swordsmen into battle against Muzan’s top generals when they are pulled into the Infinity Castle. This ever-shifting, dimension-twisting labyrinth is Muzan’s playground, and his Upper Rank Demons will stop at nothing to defeat the Demon Slayer Corps.
First in the Demon Slayer Corps trilogy, this film has already become a global sensation. Earning more than $750 million at the global box office, it holds the record for being the highest-grossing R-rated animated film of all time, and now it’s available to stream in the U.S. on a service that’s more mainstream than its previous home of Crunchyroll.

‘Miller Night Football’ documentary premiere | HBO Max
In 2026, it’s hard to imagine “Monday Night Football” not being enough of a draw in and of itself to pull massive ratings. But there was a time not so long ago when “MNF” felt the need to shake things up to attract a new audience. The result: hiring comedian Dennis Miller to call games on Monday night.
Now, fans who remember the curious case of football caller Dennis Miller can relive it all in “Miller Night Football,” the new documentary on HBO Max. The special will follow Miller’s rise and fall on “MNF” through the eyes and memories of Al Michaels, Dan Fouts, and Miller himself.

‘Scrubs’ Season 2 premiere | ABC, watch with a five-day free trial of DIRECTV

The season begins with a major mystery: why is Dr. Cox’s illness getting worse? That’s at the top of the priorities list at Sacred Heart, but the business of the hospital goes on around the legendary figure, and its newest interns are still figuring out how to be people while they learn the medical ropes.

Catherine Zeta-Jones stars in the revenge thriller series “Kill Jackie,” a new AMC+ exclusive. She portrays Jackie Price, who has spent the last 20 years living in the lap of luxury. But it all changes when she discovers that an assassin squad called The Seven Demons has been hired to take her out.

‘A Doctor to Die For: The Sarah Harris Story’ | Lifetime, watch with a subscription to Philo
Who doesn’t love a little Saturday night drama, especially when it’s based on a true story. Sarah (Siobhan Williams) is a young woman drawn into a dangerous relationship with a middle-aged surgeon, Dr. James Ryan (Luke Macfarlane), whose charms hide a sinister villain underneath.

Sunday, Oct. 4
‘Lanterns’ Season 1 finale | HBO Max
It’s hard to believe Season 1 of “Lanterns” is over. Thus far, it’s been one of my favorite streams of the year, and has blended expert writing with just the right amount of DC lore to produce a show that’s action-packed, incredibly funny, and dense without being difficult to access for beginners.
In the penultimate episode of “Lanterns,” John Stewart discovers that Hal Jordan has been murdered. Disinterring Jordan’s corpse, Stewart retrieves his Green Lantern ring and activates the “Halogram” backup program to help him bring about the season’s endgame — which will surely have something to do with recent prison escapee Sinestro.
