Seriously: It’s Time to Stay Inside. Here Are 8 New Things to Stream

From new (old) movies to the latest show to stream, here are 8 things to keep you busy as you hunker down….

Streaming services are too often lacking in the classics department, but HBO has a solid fall lineup with newly added Hollywood gems. These are films with no limit to the number of times they can be watched: East of Eden, On the Town, Guys and Dolls, and the 1956 musical comedy High Society. The latter is famously the remake of 1940’s The Philadelphia Story—a movie adapted from a stage production starring Katharine Hepburn. The first film cast Hepburn once again as the debutante bride-to-be Tracy Lord, opposite Cary Grant and James Stuart, while the remake gives us Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra. Yes, critics will tell you High Society pales in comparison to the original, but marvel at Kelly as she floats around, shooing and wooing her many suitors in pretty pretty chiffon and organza ballgowns from costume designer extraordinaire Helen Rose. – Lilah Ramzi

I like Scandi-noir TV as much as the next person, but for me, for pure muscular escapist bliss nothing beats an Italian crime series. Exhibit A: Gomorrah, that ruthless epic of the Naples underworld, the amazing first two seasons of which are available on HBOMax. Gomorrah seasons 3 and 4, long unavailable in the U.S.—the lost scrolls of Eurocrime—are apparently due to arrive on HBOMax soon, but while we wait for that, let me introduce Exhibit B: Suburra: Blood on Rome, which debuted on Netflix in 2017. Netflix has just released the third and final season of Suburra, and I can’t get enough. It is gorgeously gaudy, luridly violent, and full-throttle in its melodrama. Set in an endlessly corrupt and power-mad Rome, the show tracks the fortunes of three young friends—all tied to warring crime families. Come for the tough-guy talk, stay for the gorgeous production design (the friends constantly meet for secret parleys in abandoned modernist architectural sites). And don’t even get me started on the way these guys dress and look. The show’s hero Aureliano Adami, played by the insanely handsome Alessandro Borghi, has got me seriously contemplating twin-wing neck tattoos. —Taylor Antrim

About ten years ago, I began to hear about a thrilling show focused on the intricacies of Danish politics. Sound … less than thrilling? You’ll have to trust me. The show has been called “Denmark’s West Wing (But Even Better),” and as someone who didn’t love The West Wing, I concur. Borgen is a fascinating sociology of functional government and competent leadership, and in the lead-up to the 2020 election—when the show was newly on Netflix—I couldn’t get enough of this seeming Utopia. Sure, there are love children and sovereignty scandals (you will learn a lot about Denmark’s relationship with Greenland, and it will be gripping), but all of that seemed positively quaint when faced with the complete erosion of normalcy within our own government for the past four years. Bring back bureaucracy! (And catch up on this show before Netflix revives it for new and updated episodes.) – Chloe Schama

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
