On September 9, all of the 13 episodes of the second season of L.A.’s Finest will air on Spectrum Originals (for those who have Spectrum cable service).

The new Netflix series Julie and the Phantoms will debut online on September 10.

We Hunt Together will air its season finale on Showtime on September 13 at 10 PM.

Lastly, also on September 13, the UPtv movie Same Time Next Week will debut at 7 PM. When widow Christy (Jewel Staite) meets widower Charlie (Travis Milne), they find that they have a lot more in common than their lost loved ones.

Mark your calendars!
