Here’s all you need to know about the best TV show and film releases on Netflix in September 2024…

 

Adam Sandler: Love You

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Tuesday 27 August

Adam Sandler has made so many successful films that it’s easy to forget he was once a stand-up. But his partnership with Netflix has seen him return to the stage, previously for his first special in two decades in 2018, and now with new show Love You. His relaxed and rambling style will be familiar to fans and you can expect plenty of songs too in this collaboration with director Josh Safdie, with whom he made the critically acclaimed 2019 movie Uncut Gems.

 

New Life

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Sunday 1 September

When we meet Jessica (Hayley Erin, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists), she’s just escaped a secret government facility and is headed for refuge in Canada. So far, so heroic, but it soon becomes clear that Jessica was exposed to a terrible disease; while she may be immune, she’s not doing anyone any favours by going on the run. Bounty hunter Elsa (Sonya Walger, Lost) is hired to track her down – but Elsa’s motives are questionable. A taut, stripped-back thriller from debut writer/director John Rosman.

 

Phil Wang: Wang In There Baby

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Tuesday 3 September

We’re delighted to see more specials from British comedians coming to Netflix (scroll down for another one), especially when that includes a new one from Phil Wang. The yellow tracksuit trendsetter follows up Philly Philly Wang Wang with a set that’s he’s toured around the world, packed with deadpan observations on gendered adjectives, doing “touristy” things and the trappings of minor fame, filmed in the unique location of Shakespeare’s Globe in London.

 

Mothers’ Instinct

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Wednesday 4 September

Oscar winners Jessica Chastain (The Eyes Of Tammy Faye) and Anne Hathaway (She Came To Me) play out a suburban psychodrama in this high-tension, 1960s-set movie from first-time director Benoît Delhomme. Alice (Chastain) and Céline (Hathaway) are neighbours and friends with sons of a similar age, but a tragic accident drives a wedge between them. As they try to put the pieces of their lives back together, the strain increases and an explosion seems unavoidable. Watching these two formidable actors go head to head is a rare pleasure.

 

The Perfect Couple

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 5 September

Amelia (Eve Hewson) is marrying Benji Winbury (Billy Howle), but that’s not all: she’s also marrying into his mega-rich family – including his famous novelist mother, Greer (Nicole Kidman), who isn’t keen on her son’s bride. The stress is already at a high level when a body is found near the Winbury beach house. The family insist it was an accident, but the police aren’t so sure… This ultra-glamorous six-part series comes loaded with credentials: based on a novel by huge-selling author Elin Hilderbrand, it’s co-produced by Kidman and Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, and directed by The Night Manager’s Susanne Bier. Seductive stuff.

 

Apollo 13: Survival

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 5 September

It was the Apollo 11 mission that landed on the Moon in 1969 – but 1970’s Apollo 13 is almost as celebrated, thanks to the dramatic story of its failure that left astronauts in peril, which was made into a Hollywood movie with Tom Hanks. This new film tells the gripping tale using documentary footage, including recordings of the mission and interviews with the crew, their families and members of ground control. As suspenseful as any scripted drama, the narrative emerges as a triumph of ingenuity, teamwork and human resilience.

 

Rebel Ridge

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Friday 6 September

In this violent thriller with a burning sense of injustice, Terry Richmond (Aaron Pierre, The Underground Railroad) is stopped by small-town cops on his way to post bail for his cousin. They think nothing of relieving him of the money – which amounts to his life’s savings – but for Terry, it unleashes an implacable need to put things right. But when corruption runs so deep, can he really take on the system? British actor Pierre gives an intense performance in this absorbing film from Green Room director Jeremy Saulnier.

 

Ahir Shah: Ends

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Tuesday 10 September

More British stand-up, this time from Ahir Shah, who’s known for TV appearances on The Mash Report, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Have I Got News For You. In Ends, Shah examines his own identity as a British Indian and looks back as the decisions and sacrifices of his grandparents, while also musing on life-changing events including the death of his long-time collaborator Adam Brace. If that sounds solemn for a comedy show, Shah never takes himself too seriously and a punchline is always around the corner, as is a routine about our addiction to our phones or “shiny fear oblongs”.

 

Emily In Paris

Find season 4 part 2 in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 12 September. Seasons 1-3 and season 4 part 1 available now

There’s just no resisting this delightfully frothy series about the adventures of an American expat in the French capital, and fans who gorged on the first part of season 4 last month will be hungry to devour the next batch of episodes as if they were delicious macarons. There are gorgeous clothes, there are beautiful locations, there’s a love triangle featuring disgustingly good-looking people, and the whole thing is wonderful wish-fulfilment times a million. What will happen to well-dressed social media whiz Emily (Lily Collins) next? It doesn’t matter, as long as she’s in Paris.

 

Uglies

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Friday 13 September

Tally (Joey King, The Kissing Booth) lives in a society where everyone gets a procedure that makes them “pretty” when they reach 16. Before that, they’re just Uglies. Tally can’t wait for the big day but ahead of time, she gets an inkling that all is not right with the supposedly perfect Pretty society. Then she meets a group of rebels and realises there might be another way. We’re getting major “new Hunger Games” vibes from this adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s bestselling YA novel – the first in a series – which is energetically directed by McG (Charlie’s Angels).

 

His Three Daughters

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Friday 20 September

This bittersweet comedy drama brings together three excellent actors – Elizabeth Olsen (Love & Death), Carrie Coon (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) and Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face) – to play sisters united by their father’s imminent death. As the characters cope with their melancholy and occasionally absurd circumstances, writer/director Azazel Jacobs teases out grievances, affection, volatility and humour as the family dynamic gets put to the test. Relatable and captivating.

 

Nobody Wants This

Find it in Apps > Netflix from Thursday 26 September

Erin Foster – TV writer, actor, entrepreneur and co-creative head of dating app Bumble – created this comedy based on her own experiences, about an agnostic woman’s relationship with an unconventional rabbi. Frozen’s Princess Anna herself, Kristen Bell, and Adam Brody (The Kid Detective) play the leads, and with a supporting cast including Justine Lupe (Succession), Timothy Simons (Veep), Jackie Tohn (GLOW) and comic supporting actor par excellence Michael Hitchcock, this looks set to confound its own title as one of the most hotly intimidated shows of this autumn.

 

Jack Whitehall: Fatherhood With My Father

Find it in Apps > Netflix in September

After five series of travelling the world, Jack Whitehall is now embarking on one of life’s great journeys: parenthood. In this new series, three years after the last one, he and dad Michael get together again to head off to unfamiliar destinations and discover what fatherhood means around the globe. Expect plenty of the usual riffing off generational differences as Michael attempts to pass on his fatherly, er, wisdom and Jack does his best to sort the astute from the asinine.
