With class back in session, Netflix is schooling viewers with dozens of new films and TV shows to devour this September. Returning favorites like reality real estate series Selling Sunset and Emily in Paris, which concludes its recently debuted fourth season, join buzzy new shows like Nicole Kidman’s murder mystery The Perfect Couple and Nobody Wants This, a serialized rom-com starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell that drops on September 26.

On the film side, His Three Daughters, a stirring awards contender led by Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen about three estranged sisters brought back together by the impending death of their father, premieres on September 20. It is followed on the 27th by Will & Harper, a documentary feature that explores the evolving dynamic between Will Ferrell and his longtime friend Harper Steele after she comes out as a trans woman. And there are more documentaries where that came from, featuring subjects including headline-making soccer star Hope Solo (Sept. 3) and tech billionaire Bill Gates, whose docuseries What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates delves into the shifts caused by technological advances and is out Sept. 18.

Here’s more on what’s coming to Netflix in September:

The Perfect Couple

HILARY BRONWYN GAYLE/NETFLIX

After earning acclaim (and inspiring a ton of TikToks) as cardigan-clutching women in murder mystery shows like Big Little Lies and The Undoing, Nicole Kidman is returning to her new favorite genre. Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s New York Times bestselling novel, The Perfect Couple is a Nantucket-set whodunit starring Kidman as an uber-successful novelist whose family may be involved in a shocking death just before her son’s wedding. She plays the family’s steely matriarch alongside suave husband Liev Schrieber and a sprawling set of house guests featuring the likes of Bad SistersEve Hewson, The White Lotus’s Meghann Fahy, Ripley’s Dakota Fanning, and Midsommar’s Jack Reynor. It debuts on Sept. 5.

Selling Sunset Season 8

COURTESY OF NETFLIX

Somehow, the often low-stakes drama of high-end real estate on the Sunset Strip has now spawned eight seasons of reality TV excellence. The hit Netflix series returns on September 6 for 11 episodes’ worth of fresh conflict at the Oppenheim Group—from continued tension between fellow agents Chrishell Stause and Nicole Young to revelations about Chelsea Lazkani’s seven-year marriage, which ended earlier this year, and even the arrival of a new agent.

Emily in Paris: Season Four, Part Two

GIULIA PARMIGIANI/NETFLIX

Just as Bridgerton’s third season debuted in two parts this summer, Emily in Paris has followed suit and will conclude its fourth installment on September 12. The first four episodes ended with something of a cliffhanger: Camille (Camille Razat) is hiding the fact that she is—spoiler alert—not pregnant with Gabriel’s (Lucas Bravo) baby, as they once believed. Meanwhile, Emily (Lily Collins) plans to get away from doubts about her relationship with Gabriel to take a Roman holiday. Expect the Audrey Hepburn references to come early and often.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

COURTESY OF NETFLIX

The first season of Monster, an anthology series from creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan about the inner workings of real-life killers, earned a slew of Emmy nominations and became one of Netflix’s most-watched titles of all-time. But Evan Peters’s turn as serial murderer Jeffrey Dahmer also sparked criticism among many of the actual victims’ loved ones and inspired some seriously ill-advised Halloween costumes. Expect some inevitable controversy to come bundled with the second season, out September 19, which delves into the blockbuster case of two brothers who were convicted in 1996 of brutally killing their parents in the family home. Nicholas Alexander Chavez of daytime soap series General Hospital and Cooper Koch of horror film They/Them star as the titular siblings, while their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, are played by Oscar winner Javier Bardem and Oscar nominee Chloë Sevigny, hot off Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.

What’s leaving Netflix in September 2024:

As autumn arrives, several titles are falling with the new season. Strangely enough, that means that despite the recent release of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel in July, both the original Beverly Hills Cop and its 1987 sequel are leaving the platform on September 3. Two days later, a pair of beloved CW series—all four seasons of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and all five of Jane The Virgin—will say their goodbyes. And by the end of the month, the Back to the Future trilogy will be a thing of the past, in addition to the less illustrious trilogies, Fifty Shades of Grey and Divergent.
