September is typically the time when television<\/a> gets serious again. The summer\u2019s biggest TV shows have aired their finales, the fall schedule is kicking into high gear, and streamers are rolling out everything from high-concept sci-fi to prestige dramas. There\u2019s plenty of familiar IP in the mix, but also some genuinely original shows worth putting on your to-watch list.<\/p>\n

While plenty of outlets will tell you what everyone is watching (see: Reacher), that\u2019s not our goal. As always, the TV shows we\u2019re watching this month reflect the kinds of stories WIRED covers every day\u2014shows that explore technology, science<\/a>, politics<\/a>, culture<\/a>, and the sometimes unsettling ways they intersect.<\/p>\n

From returning favorites to ambitious new series\u2014and at least one show that might rekindle your love of traditional anime\u2014these are the TV shows we think you should make time to stream this month.<\/p>\n

The Paper<\/p>\n

What happens when a newspaper attempts not just to survive, but to\u00a0thrive, in a world where digital media has become the norm? The Paper, a spinoff of The Office from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, follows the staff of a struggling Midwestern paper as they attempt to revive it.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, its idealistic new editor-in-chief Ned Sampson (Star Wars and Harry Potter alum Domhnall Gleeson) and his hungry young reporter Mare Pritti (Chelsea Frei) end up grappling with what journalism looks like in the digital age. Season 2, which arrived on September 9, finds their Toledo Truth Teller newly revitalized and searching for its next big scoop, making the show a surprisingly sharp comedy about the future of journalism\u2014and who gets to shape it.<\/p>\n

Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian<\/p>\n

Though this summer\u2019s The Mandalorian and Grogu<\/a> (which is streaming on Disney+ now<\/a>) seriously underperformed at the box office, Lucasfilm is partnering with Lego<\/a> to take another stab at the fan-favorite Star Wars<\/a> series\u2014which might be exactly what the franchise needs right now. Lucasfilm and Lego are going back to the beginning, reimagining all three seasons of the Pedro Pascal<\/a>\u2013starring live-action series as a 49-minute animated comedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"September is typically the time when television gets serious again.
