Netflix – September 1-September 14, 2026

September is arriving on Netflix with a rather eclectic streaming menu — part prestige drama, part celebrity spectacle, part nostalgia trip and plenty of chaos.

From the return of The Gentlemen to a new chapter of Fauda, an intimate Fito Páez documentary, a Raygun deep dive and a brand-new Indian family comedy, the first half of the month is offering something for almost every kind of binge-watcher.

TheGlitz takes a look at the releases dropping on Netflix between September 1 and September 14, 2026, and picks the ones most likely to have us pressing “play”.

Netflix Bonanza

September 1: Jared Freid Gets Personal

Kicking off the month is Jared Freid: The Family Plan, a stand-up special built around the comedian’s favourite subject: his own life. Family holidays, parental adventures and the wonderfully chaotic world of modern relationships become material for Freid’s rapid-fire comedy.

It sounds like an easy, breezy start to September — particularly for viewers who like their entertainment observational, relatable and just a little bit embarrassing.

Also arriving is Untold: Raygun: Breaking Badly, which takes one of the most unexpected Olympic stories of recent years and turns the spotlight back on Australian breakdancer Raygun. From academic beginnings to becoming a global meme after the Paris Olympics, the documentary promises to explore the person behind the viral moment.

September 2: History, Ambition & 9/11

Lovesick moves into historical drama, following Emilia Sauri during the Mexican Revolution as she pursues medicine, independence and love at a time when convention is firmly stacked against her.

More sobering is Turning Point: Generation 9/11, arriving 25 years after the September 11 attacks. Through firsthand accounts, the documentary looks beyond the event itself to examine how 9/11 shaped an entire generation and continues to influence the world.

September 3: The Gentlemen Are Back

One of September’s biggest returning titles is undoubtedly The Gentlemen: Season 2 on Netflix.

Eddie has ambitions to expand his criminal empire, while Susie begins exploring new ways to diversify the business — which, naturally, suggests that trouble is never very far away.

The first season’s combination of sharp British humour, stylish visuals, outrageous criminality and Guy Ritchie-esque swagger made it an irresistible watch. Season 2 has a lot to live up to, but the premise suggests that the deliciously dysfunctional empire is about to become even more complicated.

Also arriving that day is Gandhari, a dark, mythic thriller centred on a mother whose daughter is abducted from a crowded railway station. After a brutal attack leaves her temporarily blind, she is forced to confront a child-trafficking network intertwined with ancient lore and shape-shifting mythology.

The combination of maternal vengeance, folklore and supernatural elements makes Gandhari one of the month’s more intriguing Indian releases.

September 4: Meet Alix Earle Unfiltered

For anyone fascinated by the machinery behind internet fame, Earle Meets World offers a peek behind the carefully curated social-media persona.

The unscripted series follows Gen Z “It” girl Alix Earle through her life and family, promising an unfiltered look at the person behind the influence.

Expect celebrity culture, family dynamics and the inevitable fascination of watching someone whose life is already lived in public become even more public.

September 8: Mr. T Gets His Moment

Untold: Mr. T: I Pity The Fool takes viewers back to the era of mohawks, gold chains and one of television’s most recognisable catchphrases.

For audiences who remember Mr. T as the unforgettable star of the 1980s, this documentary offers nostalgia. For younger viewers, it is an introduction to the man behind the larger-than-life persona.

Meanwhile, Fauda: Season 5 brings back the tension with Doron facing new enemies and a dangerous deep-cover operation triggered by an old friend’s revenge mission in Marseille.

September 10: Drama, Comedy & Chumbak

The September 10 line-up is particularly interesting.

The Perfect Lie revolves around four seemingly perfect couples whose lives begin to unravel after one of their own dies in a house fire. Expect secrets, suspicion and the familiar pleasure of discovering that absolutely nobody is as innocent as they appear.

Then comes Call My Agent! The Movie, returning to the wonderfully chaotic world of the entertainment industry. When a debut director loses her lead actor days before filming, she reunites her former team — promising the same mix of personalities, professional disasters and showbiz satire that made the franchise so addictive.

But perhaps the Indian release to watch is Chumbak, a slice-of-life multigenerational comedy set in a contemporary urban neighbourhood. Following five families whose lives constantly collide, the series puts community, family and everyday chaos at its centre.

If it manages to capture the warmth and wonderfully observational humour associated with classic Indian family sitcoms, Chumbak could become September’s comfort-watch. Oh and if you are at it, don’t miss The Perfect Lie.

September 11: Sport, Survival & Heat

Sports fans get a particularly international selection on September 11.

The NFL Melbourne Game brings the league to Australia for its first regular-season game there, while Physical 100: Italy adapts the popular physical-competition format for an Italian field of 100 athletes.

For something lighter, Go Team! follows employees of a cheese company whose supposedly terrible team-building exercise gets even worse when layoffs enter the picture.

And then there is Stolen Heartbeats, a supernatural thriller involving a woman in a coma, a nurse who can hear the dead and a race to keep her alive.

September 14: A Fiery Finale

The first half of September closes with Gabby’s Dollhouse: Season 14, bringing another round of colourful adventures for younger viewers.

And then comes Hot Ones: Extra Heat, featuring Will Ferrell, Jimmy Tatro and Fortune Feimster taking on the show’s uniquely painful combination of spicy wings and uncomfortable questions.

…Because apparently September needed one final reason to watch celebrities suffer beautifully.

TheGlitz Take

What makes Netflix’s September opening fortnight interesting is its sheer variety. There is nostalgia in Mr. T, celebrity culture in Alix Earle, sporting spectacle in Physical 100: Italy, mythology in Gandhari, crime and dark humour in The Gentlemen, and genuine human reflection in Turning Point: Generation 9/11.

Our early watchlist? The Gentlemen: Season 2 for the swagger, Gandhari for its intriguing mythological-meets-thriller premise, Chumbak for a possible dose of Indian warmth, and Raygun: Breaking Badly for the story behind one of the internet’s most unforgettable sporting moments.

In other words, September doesn’t seem particularly interested in giving us a quiet night in.

And honestly, TheGlitz isn’t complaining.
