Your Sunday night show just took two years off. Here's what to watch next: six shows streaming right now that fill the House of the Dragon hole, with every date worth circling between now and Labor Day. August is running up the score on your watchlist. One Hundred Years of Solitude ends for good on August 26, Silo's finale hits September 4, and Ted Lasso only covers Wednesdays. Time to reload.
The shows all ending at once
House of the Dragon closed out season three on August 9 on HBO Max, and season four is years away. The rest of the lineup is heading for the exit right behind it:
- House of the Dragon: season three finale aired August 9 on HBO Max.
- One Hundred Years of Solitude: series finale August 26 on Netflix, the end of the whole show.
- Silo: season three finale September 4 on Apple TV+, per Deadline's release schedule.
- Ted Lasso: new episodes weekly on Apple TV+ through early October.
That's a full Sunday-night rotation gone inside a month. You could let the algorithm feed you a Real Housewives season you've already seen. You'd enjoy it. You'd also know. Or you could reload the list now and win the last stretch of summer. The good news: the replacements are genuinely strong, every one of them is on a service you already pay for, and two of them drop just in time for the long weekend.
What to watch next, sorted
Six picks, all streaming in the US tonight, zero rentals, zero excuses. The order runs from easiest sell to biggest commitment, and every one of them earns the slot.
The Gentlemen
Guy Ritchie's British-aristocrats-run-a-weed-empire crime comedy, and season two drops all eight episodes September 3. Binge season one now and you're set for the drop. It moves fast and it sticks the landing.
Reacher
A huge man solves crimes with his hands and occasionally furniture. Season four is dropping weekly on Prime Video right now. Zero subtitles, zero homework, maximum payoff.
Colin from Accounts
The Australian rom-com everyone keeps telling you about, and they're right. It's on Paramount+, it's ending with this season, and it's the sharpest half-hour comedy you haven't watched yet.
Silo
Rebecca Ferguson, a giant underground bunker, and a mystery that actually pays off. The season three finale lands September 4. Three seasons of runway makes this the perfect pre-finale binge.
One Hundred Years of Solitude
The Gabriel García Márquez adaptation wraps for good on August 26, so you can finally binge the whole thing with no cliffhanger tax. It's gorgeous, it's wild, and it's unlike anything else on Netflix.
Slow Horses
Honourable mention
Five seasons of washed-up British spies on Apple TV+, with season six premiering September 16. Start tonight, catch up by the premiere, and walk into fall with the smartest show on your list.
Mark the calendar
Lanterns, DC's new murder mystery with Kyle Chandler, premieres August 16 on HBO Max, weekly. The Gentlemen season two lands in full on September 3. Slow Horses returns September 16, and MobLand hits September 18 on Paramount+: Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and the same Guy Ritchie energy as your lead pick, so rewatch season one now and walk in ready. The NFL kicks off September 9, so movie nights are about to get competition. Labor Day weekend is the last long weekend of summer: three days, one couch, and the exact reason binge drops exist. The August streaming guide has the full month, service by service.
