There’s a killer schedule of entertaining television and film coming to Netflix in September. The new streaming lineup offers a Mary Elizabeth Winstead action thriller, Academy Award winner Michael Keaton in a 9/11 based drama, and a classic Agatha Christie whodunit. You’ll also find the return of some streaming series favorites, an LGBTQ-based spy animation, a welding reality tv show, and a new horror series from Mike Flanagan to binge as Fall sets in.
- Agatha Christie’s Crooked House (2017)
Coming to Netflix: September 1 Language: English It’s very difficult to mess up a classic Agatha Christie whodunit tale, and landing an all-star cast makes it practically impossible. Glenn Close, Christina Hendricks, Julian Sands, Terence Stamp, Gillian Anderson, and Stefanie Martini eat up the scenery in this classic take on one of Christie’s most well-loved stories. There’s no surprise in the premise: a wealthy patriarch has been murdered, and we need to figure out who was responsible. You won’t find the rotund and regal Hercule Poirot, but the film’s spy turned private investigator Charles Hayward (Max Irons) is up to the task as a supersleuth determined to find the killer. 2. House Party (1990)
Coming to Netflix: September 1 Language: English One of my favorite films as a teen (I even bought it on VHS), the adventures of Kid & Play made me fall in love with hip-hop while horrifying my parents with all the cussing and sexual innuendo. Take a trip back in the time machine and check out the tunes, the haircuts, the fly girls, and wisecracks as Kid busts out of the house for the party (and night) of his life. Reginald Hudlin’s film is a bona fide classic, and there’s a reboot in the works at New Line Cinema. Watch out for a younger Martin Lawrence stealing scenes. 3. Q Force (Season 1, 2021)
Coming to Netflix: September 2 Language: English Fans of Archer looking for a new, queer-friendly animated spy series, look no further than Q-Force. Created by Michael Schur (the man behind Parks and Recreation and The Good Place) and Sean Hayes (Will & Grace), one of the features of this animated show is that all of the special agents are from LGBTQ backgrounds. Q-Force features some brilliant voice talent, including David Harbour, Gary Cole, Patti Harrison, Sean Hayes, and Wanda Sykes. 4. Worth (2021)
Coming to Netflix: September 3 Language: English Worth will be released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the tragic 9/11 attacks, featuring a stellar class that includes Michael Keaton, Stanley Tucci, Marc Maron, and Amy Ryan. It will go analyze events through the eyes of attorney Kenneth Feinberg, a lawyer who fought for the victims of 9/11, overseeing the compensation fund and its importance. Produced by Obama’s production company Higher Ground, Worth looks like a weighty but empathetic look at how the events surrounding the Twin Towers attacks affected so many, including those not directly involved. 5. Money Heist (Season 5 – Volume 1, 2021)
Coming to Netflix: September 3 Language: Spanish (English Subtitles) The first half of the final installment of Netflix’s most-watched foreign series (that’s been challenged recently by Lupin), Money Heist is a brilliant psychological ride. If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll know what the stakes are as the series move towards its thrilling conclusion, but if you haven’t watched the fast-flowing and intellectually challenging drama then I challenge you to do so. You’ve got enough time to binge-watch the previous four seasons before launching into the last phase, which will conclude with season five, part II in December.

- Blood Brothers: Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali (2021)
Coming to Netflix: September 9 Language: English The clip above is footage from a rare 1965 interview featuring Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali. This closely guarded documentary film from Kenya Burris examines the relationship between two of the most powerful influential African American figures post-Martin Luther King’s assassination. The IMDB synopsis reads, “From a chance meeting to a tragic fallout, Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali’s extraordinary bond cracks under the weight of distrust and shifting ideals.” I can’t wait to watch this! 7. Kate (2021)
Coming to Netflix: September 10 Language: English Netflix Originals have found some kickass film roles for female leads (I’m looking at you Old Guard) and Kate looks like the next worthy addition to the streaming giant’s catalog. Kate stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim’s erstwhile lady friend) as the titular character. Kate’s a good old-fashioned criminal mercenary with an axe to grind, but there’s a catch: “After she’s irreversibly poisoned, a ruthless criminal operative has less than 24 hours to exact revenge on her enemies and in the process forms an unexpected bond with the daughter of one of her past victims.” Kate is directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (The Huntsman) and also stars Woody Harrelson and Michiel Huisman (the second, more beardy Dario Naaharis) from Game of Thrones. Where do I sign up? 8. Metal Shop Masters (Season 1, 2021)
Coming to Netflix: September 10 Language: English I’m not one for reality shows, even though I love tattoos and there are a billion different ones to watch. I will, however, get stuck into Metal Shop Masters. I enjoy sparks flying from welders on metal, massive medieval-type face shields, and people trying to build amazing, outlandish things while trying not to burn themselves to death. Hosted by comedian Jo Koy – a very funny man – there’s bound to be thrills, spills, and burns in this hot competition. 9. Sex Education (Season 3, 2001)
Coming to Netflix: September 17 Language: English The hilarious antics at Moredale Secondary continue into the third season, delayed by a Coronavirus-related hiatus. The horny teens (and the continually amazing Gillian Anderson) navigate life, love, and lust in the show’s smart yet scandalous fashion. If you haven’t checked it out, be prepared to laugh in gleeful horror and cry with empathy, often during the same scene. Sex Education is a blast. 10. Midnight Mass (Season 1, 2021)
Coming to Netflix: September 24 Language: English Welcome to the community of Crocket Island, an insular place that I’m sure has less than stellar reviews on Tripadvisor. A new priest comes to town and all hell breaks loose (both literally and metaphorically), with miraculous events dovetailing with scenes of horror (of course, there are folks walking around with candles too). Created by Mike Flanagan – who brought us the excellent Haunting of Hill House – and featuring a disgraced Matt Saracen, Midnight Mass is sure to get its creep on.
