6 New-In Netflix Shows to Stream this September
Ah September, the month that demands saying goodbye to long summer beach days with an Aperol Spritz and instead, welcomes the return of the humble pumpkin spice.
What it also calls for, however, is a good Netflix binge watch with blankets, candles and a hot chocolate. Let’s explore the standout Netflix titles to watch this season, from new releases to hidden gems.
Wednesday
Taking the world and Netflix streaming figures by storm in Season 1, Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega) is back in the hit series, Wednesday, showing a part one and a part two of season two on Netflix, debuting on 3 September. The series promises to build on the gothic charm and sharp wit that made it a breakout hit, while also raising the stakes with new storylines and darker twists.
But if the spooky vibes or success of the first season weren’t enough to convince you to add this to your watch list, maybe the addition of Lady Gaga (!!) to the cast will be.
My Life with the Walter Boys
If you want to continue the summery beach days into September and are missing something to fill the gap of The Summer I Turned Pretty, give My Life with the Walter Boys a go.
First premiering in 2023 and returning with a second season in 2024, this two-season drama follows Jackie, a city girl whose life is upended when she moves to a small town and finds herself living under the same roof as her eleven brothers. The series explores the clash between her fast-paced urban upbringing and the realities of small-town family life, weaving in the challenges of sibling dynamics, the search for identity, and the growing pains of adolescence. With plenty of romance, heartfelt storytelling, and the kind of emotional twists that define a good teen drama, it offers viewers both lighthearted moments and deeper reflections on belonging and family.
Plus, with a new season promised in 2026, now is the perfect time to get caught up on the Colorado-based drama.
