Crave
Crave’s schedule included new episodes, premieres, films and titles identified as Starz programming. Starz titles may require a qualifying Crave plan or Starz add-on; they should not be assumed to be included with every Crave subscription. Bell Media’s weekly Crave schedule also noted that programming was subject to change.

Disney+
The listed additions for Sept. 30 were weekly episodes, not full-season drops. The Canadian weekly release roundup reported these titles, but does not establish a specific Canadian release time; U.S. timing should not be assumed to apply automatically.
Recommended Free Tools
- Bob’s Burgers, season 15 — premiere episode.
- Futurama, season 12 — new episode.
- The Simpsons, season 36 — premiere episode.
This week’s Disney+ picks make the most sense for subscribers already watching these series or using the service’s wider catalogue, rather than someone seeking a large batch of new film premieres.
