September 2 is circled in a lot of Star Wars households. That is the day The Mandalorian and Grogu comes home to Disney+, a few months after it played in cinemas, and it sets the tone for a month stacked with returning favourites.
The film continues the Disney+ series. Din Djarin and Grogu are trying to finish off what remains of the Empire. The same day brings LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian, a brick-built retelling of the show’s three seasons, with Rosario Dawson and Giancarlo Esposito among the returning voices. A companion podcast on the making of the film rounds out the trio, with guests including Sigourney Weaver and Pedro Pascal.
Sports, spin-offs and a disguise
A day later, on September 3, Chad Powers returns for a second season. Glen Powell plays a former quarterback who disguises himself to walk on at a college team. Anyone who skipped the first season should start there, since the jokes lean on how the disguise began.
On September 8 comes The Drop: A Snowfall Saga, a spin-off set in 1990s Los Angeles. Gail Bean and Isaiah John return as Wanda Bell-Simmons and Leon Simmons, and the story turns on the West Coast rap scene. The K-drama Made in Korea follows on September 9 with its second and final season, which jumps ahead to 1979. R.J. Decker, with Scott Speedman as an ex-con turned private investigator in South Florida, is back on September 16.
Dancing with the Stars opens its 35th season on September 15 and 16. Julia Stiles, Jenna Dewan, Harry Shum Jr. and Tyler Cameron are among the contestants, and Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough judge.
