Streaming prices are rising again in September 2026, according to a MarketWatch guide published today. The report highlights a slate of returning fan-favorite shows across major platforms, including Apple's 'Slow Horses,' Netflix's 'The Gentlemen' and Paramount's 'MobLand.'
The guide, which covers Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max and other services, does not specify the exact price increases or which platforms are affected. It notes only that prices are rising again, a trend that has become familiar to subscribers in recent years.
Returning shows anchor the month
Among the notable returns, Apple's spy drama 'Slow Horses' is back for a new season. Netflix's 'The Gentlemen,' based on the Guy Ritchie film, also returns, as does Paramount's 'MobLand.' These shows are described as fan-favorites, suggesting they are expected to draw significant viewership.
MarketWatch does not provide premiere dates or episode counts for these seasons. The guide appears to be a curated list of what is worth watching, rather than a comprehensive schedule.
Price increases continue
The report mentions that prices are rising again, but it does not detail which services have raised prices or by how much. This follows a pattern of periodic price adjustments across the streaming industry, as companies seek to balance content investment with subscriber growth.
The combination of price hikes and returning popular series raises questions about how consumers will respond. With multiple platforms raising costs, viewers may become more selective about which subscriptions they maintain.
What to expect next
As September unfolds, subscribers will likely see more detailed announcements about specific price changes and premiere dates. The streaming landscape remains dynamic, with services competing for attention through both new and returning content.
The full MarketWatch guide offers a broader list of recommendations, but the key takeaway is that September 2026 brings both higher costs and familiar favorites to the small screen.
