It will also be necessary to count on The Continental, which takes place in the universe of John Wick.
Finally, the good surprise of the month could well come from Apple TV+… And you, what series are you most looking forward to in September?
Tapie (Netflix)
What is it about ?
From singer to businessman, from minister to prisoner, Bernard Tapie has known it all. Through its successes as its failures, the series retraces in seven episodes the romantic destiny of an extraordinary public figure. A mini-series announced as a fictional biopic on Bernard Tapie and which therefore takes certain liberties.
Why is this expected?
Bernard Tapie is a character in his own right in the history of French media, economic and political life. Loud-mouthed, opportunistic, charismatic and not always picky with respect for the law, he has carved out an image of his own. Almost American.
For 40 years, Bernard Tapie fascinated France with a life made up of roller coasters, insolent successes and descents into hell. A life so romantic that reality surpasses fiction. This is why Tristan Séguéla and Olivier Demangel decided to dig this fictional ground of incredible richness with this series soberly titled Tapie.
Laurent Lafitte, in the role of the one who called himself Nanard, is an additional argument to arouse expectation and curiosity. The actor himself confided that he had long dreamed of slipping into the skin of the businessman.

Castlevania: Nocturne (Netflix)
What is it about ?
We are in 1792, dark year of the French Revolution. In a remote corner of the land, the counter-revolutionary aristocracy forges an alliance with a terrifying vampire messiah. Threatening to “devour the sun”, he promises to unleash an army of vampires and creatures of the night to quell the revolution and enslave humanity. In order to lead the resistance, Annette, a Caribbean witch, goes in search of Richter Belmont, the last descendant of a famous family of vampire hunters.
Why is this expected?
Considered one of the best serial video game adaptations, Castlevania has been delighting Netflix subscribers since its launch in 2017. After four excellent seasons, fans will be able to discover a whole new universe in September with its spin-off, Nocturne , itself taken from the JV Rondo of Blood.
Change of location and scenery for the animated series which takes place in our region. It will feature well-known characters from the video game saga including Richter Belmont, the descendant of Trevor Belmont. This new version is therefore aimed at both fans and the uninitiated who will discover a gothic and bloody atmosphere. It remains to be seen whether this will be of the level of the first.

The Continental (Prime Video)
What is it about ?
The three-part Continental explores the origin of the iconic hotel for assassins, which is the centerpiece of the John Wick universe. The series is seen through the eyes of young Winston Scott, who is dragged into 1970s New York to come to terms with a past he thought he had left behind.
Winston carves a deadly route through the mysterious underworld of the hotel in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will ultimately take his throne.
Why is this expected?
Don’t wait to meet Keanu Reeves in this prequel to the John Wick saga dedicated to the youth of Winston Scott, the emblematic character of the films played by Ian McShane, and his faithful ally Charon (Ayomide Adegun succeeds the late Lance Reddick) . This mini-series consists of three parts, broadcast one each week from Friday, September 22.
The recipe that made the success of the John Wick films is reproduced here, and it is a veritable deluge of action and adrenaline that awaits us. Notable fact: the big bad of the series is embodied by Mel Gibson, in his very first important role in a television production!

What is it about ?
The turbulent lives of budding superheroes at an ultra-competitive school run by Vought International, where their physical toughness, hormones and limits are tested daily. At stake: the best contracts for the best cities.
Why is this expected?
The Boys is one of the most popular series on the Prime Video platform. This spin-off, worn by designer Michele Fazekas (Resurrection), promises to be just as bloody and irreverent as its role model.

On their way, they will come across glowing witches, giant demons and racist cops. They will quickly understand that surviving a fairy tale can be as brutal and violent as surviving Trumpland…
Why is this expected?
Apple TV+ series are often a guarantee of quality. With The Changeling, the platform turns to horror by also drawing on the side of the tale.

In the first role, we find LaKeith Stanfield.
