The week of September 28, 2026, marks a pivotal moment for streaming audiences as the DC Universe reaches a major narrative milestone and several high-profile dramas make their debut. This week’s lineup is anchored by the highly anticipated season finale of Lanterns and the return of the Scrubs revival for its second season.
Whether you are looking for blockbuster anime, sports documentaries, or gritty revenge thrillers, the following guide covers the essential releases across Max, Hulu, Netflix, and AMC+.
The DCU ‘Lanterns’ Finale and the ‘Halogram’ Twist
The first season of Lanterns concludes this Sunday, October 4, on Max. The series has centered on a high-stakes mystery that reshapes the status of the Green Lantern Corps within the DC Universe. Following the revelation that Hal Jordan has been murdered, the finale focuses on John Stewart’s discovery and use of the “Halogram”—a backup program of Jordan’s consciousness. This development is expected to have lasting implications for the franchise’s future and Stewart’s role within the Corps.
The ‘Scrubs’ Revival Returns
On Wednesday, September 30, the Scrubs revival returns to ABC for its second season. While the original series ran for nine seasons, this 2026 iteration continues the story established in the revival’s debut earlier this year. The second season follows the new generation of medical professionals while maintaining the blend of comedy and drama that defined the original series’ legacy.
