Aug 30, 2022 1:55 PM CUT In April, Netflix announced that, for the first time ever, its number of paid subscribers had dropped. In August, HBO Max—previously known for sheer show budget size—announced that it would be pulling 36 titles from its streaming platform in one week alone. (This followed the news of the upcoming merger between HBO Max and Discovery+.) Talk of the precariousness of the “streaming bubble” has simmered all year, but a hearty slate of offerings persists to keep you entertained this fall. Amazon’s _The Rings of Power_—the [most expensive TV show ever made](https://time.com/6205837/the-rings-of-power-amazon-most-expensive/ "undefined")—will hit small screens around the country with a dose of _Lord of the Rings_ lore on Friday. _Star Wars: Andor_ will arrive on [Disney+](https://time.com/6202225/new-on-disney-plus-august-2022/ "undefined") in late September, bringing with it a star turn by Diego Luna in an epic about _Star Wars_ intelligence officer Cassian Andor. The highly anticipated HBO drama from the creator of _Euphoria_, _The Idol_, stars Lily-Rose Depp and singer-songwriter The Weeknd in a twisted tale about romantic awakening. On the less traditional side, the Spanglish cult favorite _Los Espookys_ returns to HBO Max on Sept. 16, promising to be “more espookier than before” with more hilariously fabricated horror. In the meta-comedy _Reboot_, which releases Sept. 20, Hulu tries to reunite the cast (Keegan-Michael Key, Judy Greer, Johnny Knoxville) of a fictional, dysfunctional early 2000’s sitcom. And _Entergalactic_ on Netflix bears the artistic fingerprints of musician Kid Cudi and _Black-ish_ creator Kenya Barris in an animated project out Sept. 30. ## **_The Rings of Power_** **Sept. 2 on Prime Video** The long-awaited [fantasy series](https://time.com/6205837/the-rings-of-power-amazon-most-expensive/ "undefined"), based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s _Lord of the Rings_, takes place thousands of years before _Lord of the Rings_ or its prequel, _The Hobbit,_ in the Second Age of Middle-earth. ## **_Wedding Season_** **Sept. 8 on Hulu** Katie and Stefan fell in love at a wedding—even though Katie already had a fiancé.

Flash forward to the present day, and Louis is telling his story to a renowned journalist. ## **_The Midnight Club_** **Oct. 10 on Netflix** Based on the series by Christopher Pike, the eight members of the Midnight Club meet every night at midnight in a mysterious manor to tell scary stories—and to hunt for the supernatural. ## **_From Scratch_** **October 21 on Netflix** Zoe Saldaña leads this romantic drama as Amahle “Amy” Wheeler, who meets the Sicilian chef of her dreams in Florence.
