Netflix is packing September 2025 with a slate of shows and films that balance fresh originals and beloved favorites. From horror comedies and gritty dramas to animated classics and box office staples, Netflix is aiming to keep screens busy all month.
The biggest headline is Wednesday season 2, part 2, which finally closes out the murder mystery arc that left fans hanging, Variety reports. Jenna Ortega returns as the deadpan sleuth, and viewers can expect gothic intrigue, eerie humor, and the kind of sharp writing that made the series a global phenomenon.
Another highly anticipated release is Black Rabbit. This tense limited series stars Jude Law as a restaurateur whose fragile world spins when his estranged brother, played by Jason Bateman, resurfaces at a disastrous moment. Their uneasy bond sets the stage for a high-stakes family showdown filled with secrets and betrayal.
A Packed September Lineup
The month starts with a wave of licensed titles on September 1, and it is heavy on nostalgia. All four Shrek movies, Chicken Run, Shark Tale, and The Land Before Time arrive for family viewing. Cult favorites like Inglourious Basterds, Edge of Tomorrow, and Phantom Thread give film buffs plenty of rewatch value, while Boyz n the Hood, La La Land, and 8 Mile bring cultural resonance and award pedigree. Comedy fans will find Billy Madison, Bridesmaids, Hot Shots, and We’re The Millers joining the library.
Sports lovers also have something to circle. Netflix is streaming Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford on September 13, following the Countdown: Canelo v Crawford documentary a week earlier. It is a rare chance for fight fans to see one of the year’s most hyped boxing matches on the platform.
Later in the month, Alice in Borderland season 3 brings back the Japanese sci-fi thriller with its twisted games and survival battles. Other new originals include Platonic: Blue Moon Hotel, the supernatural series Haunted Hotel, and Cristela Alonzo’s new stand-up special.
From animated Pokémon additions to gritty true crime dramas, September’s releases span every genre. Whether you want a comfort rewatch or something brand new, Netflix’s library refresh is one of its strongest this year.
