With Top Boy returning for one final season at its peak, or the lessons learned from Sex Education, these are some of the series the BBC says you should definitely give a chance to in September.

Top Boy

The trailer for the final season of the acclaimed drama about drug dealers, loyalty, betrayal and murder promises "No Loose Ends," exactly what you'd expect from this uncompromising series, which ended last season by killing off a major character.

The Guardian praised the last season as "a wild and terrifying western".

The main antagonists competing to rule the drug world return, with Ashley Walters as Dushane and Kane Robinson as Sully. They are joined this time around by Barry Keoghan, fresh off his Oscar-nominated role in The Banshees of Inisherin, and Brian Gleeson (Bad Sisters), whose characters have yet to be revealed.

Aside from the question of who comes out on top, like every final season of any crime show, this one can ruthlessly eliminate anyone at any time, a powerful way to go out.

The Changeling

The great LaKeith Stanfield (Atlanta, Judas and Black Messiah) is once again at his best in this terrifying drama based on the bestselling 2017 novel by Victor LaValle, known for mixing realism and the supernatural, in prose eloquent.

The same mix of real and otherworldly applies to the series, with Stanfield as a bookseller devoted to his wife Emma (Clark Backo) and their infant son.

If only Emma hadn't run into that strange woman in Brazil who apparently cast a spell on her and her future child.

LaValle does the voiceover here, saying, “Would you know if you've been transported into a fairy tale? There are portals in this world that we may never know we've traveled through,” a clue to the metaphorical way the series touches on a parent's everyday fear of the worst that could happen to your child.

The Morning Show

No series went wrong adding Jon Hamm. He joins the third season here, as a tech mogul named Paul Marks, who just might buy the UBA network and who, like real-life people named Musk, Bezos and Branson, has his own company spaceship.

A few plot twists also give the show a new jolt of energy. As the season begins, we'll see if Alex (Jennifer Aniston) or Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) will go into space.

Cory (Billy Crudup) is more cunning than ever, teaming up with Paul. Flashbacks fill in details about Bradley, including her relationship with Laura (Julianna Margulies), another dark family secret, and a very intense reporting assignment in 2021.

Where the second part of the series may have fallen a little under the weight of Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) in Italy, this season it zooms forward.

American Horror Stories: Delicate

American Horror Story is a shape-shifting anthology with a different creepy plot and new cast every season, so why not bring in a star whose personality keeps morphing, too?

In her first foray into real acting, Kim Kardashian steps outside of her usual reality TV and social media stardom and joins a cast that includes Emma Roberts and Cara Delevingne.

Is Kardashian's presence simply as a star, actual acting, or both? We will see.

The trailer promises stylish, stylized medical horror and a pregnancy plot based at least in part on Danielle Valentine's recently published novel Delicate Condition, which the author has said was inspired by Alien and has been compared to Rosemary's Baby. The season will be split into two parts, so expect it to be left on hold after these five episodes.

Sex Education

Learning about sex is a lifelong endeavor for some, but this hit series is deciding to take a break after season four, which makes sense now that the characters are emerging from their teenage years.

Keeping a tone that is both comic and real, this chapter sees Otis (Asa Butterfield) and his friends head to a new, progressive school, Cavendish College.

Ncuti Gatwa, soon to be the new Doctor Who, returns as Otis' best friend Eric. So does Emma Mackey (Emily) as Otis' current girlfriend, Maeve, who is studying in the US with a writing instructor played by Dan Levy (Schitt's Creek).

Series creator Laurie Nunn explained her decision to end the show now, saying that while writing the fourth season, "it just started to feel very clear that the stories were ending."

Gen V

There's Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in the X-Men franchise, there's Harry Potter's Hogwarts, and now there's Godolkin University's School of Crimefighting in Prime Video's superhero satire spin-off The Boys.

The school is run by the nefarious Vought International, the company that makes money off the superheroes in The Boys, but Gen V is more concerned with college-level anxieties like sex and exams.

The students are played by a cast of mostly unknown actors who were introduced last year in an Instagram video that promises the series will have blood, guts, hormones, drama and mystery.

This addition to The Boys franchise, which includes the animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical, comes at a good time.

Eric Kripke, the show's creator, has posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the fourth season of The Boys will not premiere until the ongoing SAG strike in Hollywood is resolved.
