There are 17 season and series premieres from August 9 to 15, 2026. Reacher opens its fourth season on Prime Video, and Netflix has two of the week’s biggest arrivals: Tires is back, and a new adaptation of My Brilliant Career lands the same day. The rest of the week runs wide. A Housewives anniversary trip, a Charles Manson documentary series, true crime, sports, home renovation, and several factual shows. Streaming carries most of the large releases, though Freeform, USA Network, History, and TLC each have something new. The six biggest are covered first, then the full schedule by day.

Top Picks of the Week
Reacher
IMDb
Watch on Prime Video
A woman on a Philadelphia subway car is behaving in a way Jack Reacher recognizes, and what he does about it is the entire trigger for season four. Alan Ritchson is back for a fourth self-contained case, this one built from Lee Child’s Gone Tomorrow, with the trail running a long way up. Three episodes arrive August 12 and the remaining five come weekly after that. The finale is September 16, the same day the Neagley spinoff drops its full first season.
Tires
IMDb
Will and Shane now co-own a struggling Valley Forge location, which is a promotion for both of them and a problem for at least one. Will spends the season reconsidering where his life has ended up. Shane picks up responsibilities that are harder to shrug off than the usual mess he makes at the shop. Shane Gillis and Steve Gerben are both back, and all 12 episodes land at once on August 13.
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th
IMDb
Watch on Prime Video
The fifth trip marks 20 years of The Real Housewives with Vicki Gunvalson, Luann de Lesseps, Porsha Williams, Teresa Giudice, Kyle Richards, Gizelle Bryant, and Lisa Barlow. Before the group reaches Turks and Caicos, the premiere brings them to Orange County for a yacht party, a look back at the franchise’s history, and Vicki’s attempt to recreate an early OC Bunco night. The season premieres on Bravo on August 9 and streams on Peacock the following day.
My Brilliant Career
IMDb
Sybylla wants a writing life of her own making. Her family wants her married, and considers the matter settled. Philippa Northeast plays her in this six-part Australian adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel, in which a relationship Sybylla did not plan for turns an easy decision into a hard one. All six episodes arrive August 13.
The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls
IMDb
Watch on Prime Video
Five cast members from The Chosen go into the field with Bear Grylls, and creator Dallas Jenkins goes with them. The challenges move through forest, river, desert, and canyon country across Utah and New York, which is a considerable amount of terrain for six episodes. Prime Video has the whole run available August 9.
Conversations with a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes
IMDb
Joe Berlinger closes out his Conversations with a Killer run with Charles Manson. Three episodes work through his rise, the 1969 murders, and the trial, drawing on prison calls that have not been released before, archival material, and accounts from people with direct connections to the case. It streams August 12.
