What to Stream: Keith Urban, ‘The Golden Bachelorette,’ Zack Snyder series and ‘WandaVision’ spinoff

Keith Urban’s 12th studio album and Kathryn Hahn starring in the “WandaVision” spinoff “Agatha All Along” are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you.
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: season two of the “Frasier” reboot on Paramount+, the debut of “The Golden Bachelorette” and the Strokes’ lead singer Julian Casablancas and his rock band the Voidz will release a new album, “Like All Before You.”
— Writer-director Azazel Jacobs’ latest movie stars Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen as sisters who gather in the New York apartment of their dying father.

— With Election Day fast approaching, Max is looking back to the last presidential race. The HBO documentary “Stopping the Steal,” directed by Emmy-winner Dan Reed, focuses on Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 results in Arizona and Georgia, culminating in the attack on the U.S. Capitol. It features interviews with Trump insiders like former Attorney General Bill Barr, former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin and White House campaign official Stephanie Grisham. The producers say it “explores and debunks the claims of ballot tampering, illegal immigrants and deceased people voting.” The film premieres Tuesday on Max.
— On Friday, Sept. 20, Keith Urban, a fixture of contemporary country, will release his 12th studio album, “High.” He’s spent quite a bit of time in Las Vegas, doing the residency thing, but it’s clear songwriting — and making new material — has always been a source of creative magic for the veteran perform. And there’s range, from the equal parts self-effacing and empathetic “Messed Up as Me” to the life-affirming “Wildside.”
— Nelly Furtado’s seventh studio album and first in seven years, the appropriately titled “7,” arrives at a point of artistic rediscovery for the Canadian singer-songwriter. Just don’t expect any rehashing of the singles that made her a superstar in 2000 (yes, that means “I’m Like a Bird,” “Turn Off the Light” and the like.) Instead, she’s embarked on a sonic experiment, from the bilingual Latin pop of “Corazón” with Colombian psychedelic cumbia innovators Bomba Estéreo to the electro-pop “Love Bites” featuring Tove Lo and SG Lewis.
— Everyday around the world, or at least, the internet, guitar bands are born out of an obsession with the Strokes. Luckily for those musicians, its members have never ceased music-making, and on Friday, Sept. 20 its singer, Julian Casablancas, and his rock band the Voidz will release a new album, “Like All Before You.” There’s a lot to dig into — like the metallic riffs of “Prophecy of the Dragon,” or the minimalist synth production of “Flexorcist.”
— Paramount+ has cornered the market on new music docuseries, and on Tuesday will continue that title when it premieres the three-part “Nöthin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of ’80s Hair Metal.” Leather pants optional but strongly encouraged.
