- Netflix is adding a ton of content to its streaming service in September, but these are the best new movies and shows we think you should add to your queue this month.
- Netflix’s biggest original shows and movies this month are filled with stars, including Hilary Swank in Away, Sarah Paulson in Ratched, and Tom Holland in The Devil All The Time.
- Netflix is also adding the fourth season of The Good Place, which is one of the best shows of the last decade and is a must-watch for fans of The Office or Parks and Recreation.
This summer was understandably quiet for Netflix, given all of the chaos surrounding the pandemic, but fall is off to a much more promising start. Not many fan-favorite Netflix originals are returning this month, but there are a number of exciting movies and shows making their debut this September, from the prequel to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest to a movie about Sherlock Holmes’ little sister to a grounded space series starring Hilary Swank.
Personally, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, directed by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), is at the top of my list, but I’ll probably end up watching everything listed below:
- Back to the Future | September 1st
