Netflix just pulled its typical “hold my remote” move by unveiling a September slate so packed with stars and suspense, it might cause actual screen fatigue. Kicking things off with a vengeance on September 3rd is Wednesday Season 2 Part 2. Jenna Ortega is back, attempting to save her buddy Enid’s life while dodging Tyler, who apparently didn’t get the memo that “revenge is best left to soap operas.” If you thought Part 1 left you hanging, Part 2 promises prophecies, plot twists, and enough gothic vibes to outfit an entire Halloween store.
But wait, creepy-cool fans, there’s more! The pop queen herself, Lady Gaga, crashed the Wednesday Graveyard Gala in NYC with her new song, “The Dead Dance.” She’s even starring as a legendary teacher at Nevermore — finally, a role where her flair for the dramatic fits right in. Expect Gaga to school everyone in style, probably while inventing new ways to scowl mysteriously.
If shady family dinners and dark secrets are your jam, Black Rabbit drops on September 18th. Jason Bateman and Jude Law play estranged brothers running a secretive nightclub — basically The Godfather meets The Hangover. Bateman even called it a story about brothers “who love each other but don’t match,” which sounds like a polite way of saying “they’re a hot mess.”
For the nostalgia junkies, Netflix rolled out the Shrek franchise, E.T., La La Land, Bridesmaids, and The Amazing Spider-Man movies on September 1st. Basically, it’s a millennial dream trip down memory lane — because nothing says “adulting” like watching ogres and aliens save the day from your couch.
To wrap up the month, Alice in Borderland Season 3 drops on September 25th, bringing more deadly games and mysterious scholars. The Japanese thriller has been Netflix’s most-watched international hit, proving that if you want to survive the confusing world of streaming, sometimes you just need to join a deadly game show.
And if all that drama isn’t enough, boxing fans get a live dose of June and Terence Crawford ready to throw punches on September 13th — because apparently Netflix isn’t just about sitting on the couch anymore, they want you cheering ringside too.
So, Netflix’s September playbook? Mix jaw-dropping originals, nostalgic classics, and a pinch of live sports. Because why just watch entertainment when you can have variety-induced streaming paralysis instead?
