TV

The Reluctant Landlord: Season 2 (Sky One, 10pm) – 4th September

Romesh Ranganathan returns as the landlord keeping a lazy eye over his late dad’s pub in the second season of the Sky Original sitcom.

Temple: Season 1 (Sky One, 10pm) – 13th September

Mark Strong, Carice van Houten and Daniel Mays star in an emotionally complex and darkly comic Sky Original based on the critically-acclaimed Norwegian drama Valkyrien. Daniel Milton (Strong) is a surgeon who, driven by personal tragedy, operates an illegal clinic deep below London’s Temple tube station for those who either wish to remain outside the system, or for those desperate enough to seek treatment unavailable through conventional means. Aided by disgruntled underground worker Lee (Mays) and guilt-ridden medical researcher Anna (van Houten), Daniel’s dangerous and unpredictable clientele test his morality to the limit. But if it means he can save the person he loves, it will all be worth it.

The Loudest Voice (Sky Atlantic, 9pm) – 5th September

Russell Crowe is almost unrecognisable in this seven-part miniseries following the rise and fall of Roger Ailes, the founding father of Fox News. A cast including Naomi Watts, Sienna Miller and Seth MacFarlane star alongside Crowe in a fascinating insight into how Ailes, with the weight of his media empire behind him, helped form the modern Republican party. All will be episodes available on-demand following Episode 1’s broadcast.

City on a Hill (Sky Atlantic, TBC) – 25th September

In the early 1990s, Boston was a city living in fear. Violent crime was commonplace, with criminals becoming more brazen amidst widescale corruption and racism within local law enforcement. But this all changed thanks to what was later dubbed “The Boston Miracle”. In this fictionalised account of the events, Kevin Bacon stars as corrupt but venerated FBI veteran Jackie Rohr, who reluctantly teams with African American DA Decourcy Ward (Aldis Hodge). Together, their unlikely alliance subverts the entire criminal justice system of Boston.

Frayed: Season 1 (Sky One, TBC) – 26th September

Set in 1989, Sky original Frayed follows the journey of Sammy Cooper (Sarah Kendall), a fabulously wealthy London housewife who is forced to return to the town in Australia she grew up in. In coming home, Sammy must revisit her past and the events that led her to flee as a teenager years ago.

Quadrophenia: 40 Years On (Sky Arts, TBC) – Date TBC

This September, Sky Arts celebrates the 40th anniversary of the 1979 cult classic Quadrophenia with a series of special films. Quadrophenia: Our Generation documents the making of the film and, with the help of cast members and celebrity fans, examines its legacy and place in British pop culture. In Bradley Wiggins on Mods, the Olympic gold medallist and famous mod jumps on his scooter for a trip through the history of the mod movement. And finally, in Quadrophenia Reunited, Lauren Laverne joins the cast of the film in front of a live audience as they perform a table read of the script, share stories from their time on set and talk all things mod.

American Horror Story: 1984 (FOX UK, 10pm) – 19th September

The hit anthology-horror series returns for another nail biting series. Having survived an Apocalypse, a Murder House and a witches Coven, it’s hard to guess what American Horror Story will do next, but this time around the ensemble cast is throwing it back to the classic 80s camp-style slasher genre.
