The streamers are loading up on new and returning shows to kick off the month, giving viewers plenty of options for weekend streaming. Netflix has two shows that made the cut for this list. One is a reality show featuring an extremely popular influencer, and the other is the second season of a Guy Ritchie show. Elsewhere, a British motoring show returns for an all-new season on Prime Video. Many Americans are gearing up for the upcoming football season. Paramount+ has a new documentary about a controversial college football team. Plus, the second season of a Hulu football comedy is our top pick of the week. 5 Earle Meets World The popular influencer gets a reality show For those unfamiliar with influencer culture, Alix Earle is one of the biggest names in that world. Netflix has described her as "Gen Z's ultimate It girl." Earle has amassed millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram thanks to her signature "Get Ready With Me" videos. Now, the camera is following Earle and her family in a new reality show, Earle Meets World. Many people, including this writer, have heard of Earle. However, this Netflix show introduces audiences to the Earle family, including sister Ashtin, stepmom Ashley, father TJ, and a trio of younger siblings. Could the Earles become the next Kardashians? We're a long way away from that conversation, but the show is a step in the right direction for the Earles. Earle Meets World streams on Netflix on September 4. Subscription with ads Yes, $8/month Simultaneous streams Two or four 4 The Program: Texas Tech Football is different in Lubbock ​​​​​​​ You always hear about the importance of football in Texas and how it means so much to the state. There's certainly some truth to it because Texans love their football. At the college level, the Texas Tech Red Raiders are coming off a program-best 12-2 season. The Red Raiders are under a lot of pressure to deliver a national championship in Lubbock, making Texas Tech the ideal subject for a behind-the-scenes documentary series. The Program: Texas Tech takes cameras into the Red Raiders' facilities as they embark on one of the most important offseasons in program history. As a college football fan, I can't wait to see how the show handles Brendan Sorsby, the former Texas Tech quarterback whose gambling scandal ultimately ended his college football career. The Program: Texas Tech streams on Paramount+ on September 4. Subscription with ads Yes, $8/month Simultaneous streams 3 3 The Grand Tour The need for speed The Grand Tour is going to look a little different when it returns for its new season. Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond are out as presenters. Replacing them is a trio of YouTube and internet personalities: Thomas Holland, James Engelsman, and Francis Bourgeois. Holland and Engelsman are behind the popular YouTube channel Throttle House, while Bourgeois is a TikTok star best known for his train videos. Together, the trio are the new presenters on The Grand Tour, the popular motoring series that showcases some of the coolest cars in the world. Per Prime Video, this season features the group crossing the Angolan desert and testing performance cars in California. Fans of the auto industry will appreciate The Grand Tour. The Grand Tour streams on Prime Video on September 4. The Grand Tour Release Date 2016 - 2024-00-00 Network Amazon Prime Video 2 The Gentlemen season 2 Guy Ritchie's action comedy returns with more drama and madness It's fair to say that The Gentlemen is now a TV show first and a movie second. That's Netflix's power in full effect. In season 1, Eddie Horniman (Theo James) wanted nothing to do with the family's criminal enterprises. Eddie is singing a different tune in season 2 as he begins to enjoy the power and benefits that come with running a massive empire. Eddie still has his alliance with Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario), the daughter of drug lord Bobby Glass (Ray Winstone). Since Bobby is in prison, Susie acts on her father's behalf. However, Bobby's erratic decisions are making it more difficult for Eddie and Susie to operate, forcing the duo to take action. And if you were worried that season 2 would be the end for the insane series, Netflix has renewed The Gentlemen for a third season. All episodes of The Gentlemen season 2 are now streaming on Netflix. 1 Chad Powers season 2 Glen Powell's mysterious quarterback returns ​​​​​​​ Glen Powell oozes charisma. With killer looks and a charming persona, Powell is such a likable actor. However, he has thrived playing arrogant characters, first in Top Gun: Maverick and now in Chad Powers. Russ Holliday (Powell) is a disgraced quarterback who tarnished his reputation after an on-field incident with a fan. Eight years later, Russ uses prosthetics to create a new identity, Chad Powers, the likable walk-on quarterback for the South Georgia Catfish. Season 1 had a Mrs. Doubtfire-like quality, with Russ working to keep his secret identity. Season 2 underwent a complete genre shift, and according to Collider, Chad Powers is now closer to Breaking Bad than Mrs. Doubtfire. That's an exciting genre shift for a Hulu comedy. All episodes of Chad Powers season 2 are now streaming on Hulu. What else should you watch this weekend? Gal Gadot's new thriller The Runner is now streaming on Prime Video.
