- Netflix is adding 22 new shows, movies, and specials in the second week of September.
- Good news, parents! There are plenty of family-friendly originals coming this week, including StarBeam, Julie and the Phantoms, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and more Pokemon Journeys.
- There’s also a documentary about a filmmaker who befriends an octopus.
September is shaping up to be one of the more exciting months for Netflix in quite a while, but this week is relatively quiet, especially compared to last week. The Duchess, a comedy show starring comedian Katherine Ryan might be the most noteworthy release of the week, although Turkish drama series The Gift has gotten rave reviews, and the second season debuts on Thursday. And you can never go wrong with new Pokemon episodes.
