Showtime September 2021 best new TV series favorite choices
Showtime’s fall lineup features some of the years best series you’ve been waiting for. Our favorite Showtime series picks are:
American Rust (Released September 12) *Showtime Original Series
AMERICAN RUST is a compelling family drama and a timeless story told through the eyes of complicated and compromised chief of police Del Harris (Jeff Daniels) of a Pennsylvania Rust Belt town full of good people making bad choices.
STREAM AMERICAN RUST ON SHOWTIME ON SEPTEMBER 12
Billions Season 5, Part 2 (First Episode Premiered September 5th)
Tensions were high for every character in season 5, so audiences are sure to see the complexities of their personal and professional lives explored even further. With the series focused on the stock market, the writers may explore recent financial mishaps like the debacle surrounding the Robinhood app. Also, with the new leadership in the Oval Office — and a president with no personal investment in the fluctuation of stocks — the show may allude to the country’s political future.
The meat of the series is, of course, the cat and mouse game between Chuck and Bobby. In season 3, there was an alliance formed between the pair, but neither could inevitably let go of their egos, which always forms conflict between the two. As Chuck continues to interrupt Bobby’s goal of chartering his own bank, another alliance in season 6 is unlikely to happen. Billions has never run out of drama, and the next season should give viewers the fix they craved.
Here’s Showtime’s full list and schedule for September 2021 Releases:

Detainee 001 (Released September 10) *Showtime Original Documentary
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the US and its allies invaded Afghanistan with the mission of identifying, infiltrating and eliminating terrorist networks. Public attention riveted on the capture of John Walker Lindh, a radical mujahideen fighter who became known as “the American Taliban.” Through never-before-seen footage of his capture and interrogations, Emmy-winning director Greg Barker harrowingly explores how America grapples with justice in the fog of war and how narratives are built and destroyed in the aftermath of battle. See it all in the gripping documentary Detainee 001 when it hits Showtime this month.
