The 2019 Miss America Competition (ABC)  September 9

Just like Miss Teen USA, Miss America, a beauty pageant that has a rich history for almost a hundred years, is also removing its swimsuit portion. In this year’s pageant, judges will no longer rate Miss America’s beautiful candidates in their swimsuit in an effort to get on with the times. This radical decision from the event’s organizers from the top has scared away some major advertisers from the pageant, believing that the swimsuit competition is one of the contest’s biggest draw as far as viewership is concerned. However, this did not stop the organization from taking its stand says Gretchen Carlson,  chair of the organization’s board of trustees and former Miss America.

The Deuce (HBO) September 9

The Deuce opens with its second season on September 9. The story revolves around the sex trade and the porn industry of the seventies in the heart of New York Times Square. It follows the story of twins Vincent and Frankie Martino who are both played by James Franco (who will be back to reprise his role despite his sexual abuse allegations) and their well-connected friend from the mobster Rudy Pipilo played by Michael Rispoli. Another character that’s a focal point of the plot is the story of a prostitute named Candy, played by Maggie Gyllenhaal whose cunning and ambition gave her a prominent spot in the sex industry in those dark times.

American Horror Story: Apocalypse September 12 (FX)

The eighth season of Ryan Murphy and co.’s horror anthology series is back again and this time, it will be filled with crossover stories from the Horror House and beyond. The series is about the Harmons family. They have just moved from Boston to LA in order to heal their broken past and start a new life together as a family. The 8 th season will feature some cross-over stories from the past seasons. Some even speculate that this will be a confirmation of a fan theory where each season is an allusion to the nine circles of Hell in Dante Alighieri’s Inferno.

The Dragon Prince (Netflix)  September 14

This new animated series straight up from the guys who gave the memorable Avatar: The Last Airbender, comes to a new journey that follows to brothers who are princes – Ezran and Callum. Together with an elf who was supposed to be sent to assassinate them, they set out on an epic adventure as they attempt to unite their lands torn by war and strife. The series combines 2D and 3D animation, an experimental feat for this genre although no longer new. The world is set on a medieval fantasy world filled with castles, magic and, of course, as the title suggests – dragons. Though visually stunning, there had been some criticisms from the fans about its animation. Viewers say that the animation is choppy and appears to have very low frame rates, something which the creators have heard and will hopefully address real soon.
