After stocking its library full of new titles in August, discovery+ is gearing up to expand its content catalog even further in September 2021. Although young in the realm of the streaming world, discovery+ has cemented itself as the “definitive non-fiction, real life subscription streaming service,” with the library including thousands of hours of content from Discovery, OWN, ID, Food Network, HGTV, and TLC, as well as its own original exclusive content.
In September, discovery+ subscribers will be treated to many new titles promising hours of entertainment, such as the new true crime title Curse of the Chippendales. Set to arrive later on in the month, the four-part true-crime series tells the untold story of the famous international dance troupe that troupe took the LA nightclub scene by storm all while being shrouded by untold wealth, bizarre murder plots, and multiple deaths. Fans of the streamer’s automotive titles can tune in to the Street Outlaws spin-off Street Outlaws: Gone Girl, which highlights the most competitive female drivers in the country as they come together in Las Vegas. Of course, discovery+ is also well known for its home series, and in September, subscribers will be treated to the new series Reno My Rental, starring Carmeon Hamilton, winner of HGTV’s Design Star: Next Gen.
