There's a lot of great telly coming to NOW TV this September.
Not only do we have two massive new shows arriving this month in Kevin Bacon-led crime drama City on a Hill and Romesh Ranganthan's The Reluctant Landlord, but there's also four new episodes of Succession on the way, and full seasons of Brassic and Euphoria.
Here's the best box-sets to watch on NOW TV this month.
Brassic

Bafta-winning writer Danny Brocklehurst (Shameless) and Our Girl's Michelle Keegan returns with this Sky original comedy drama about a group of small-time criminals (including This Is England/ Misfits star Joe Gilgun, who also serves as co-writer) in a fictional northern town. As they get older and their crimes get messier - the attempted robbery of a Shetland pony in episode one doesn't exactly go to plan - some of them start to make plans for life elsewhere.
