Subscribers can expect new episodes of franchise spinoffs, prestige limited series and several award telecasts, with key debuts staggered through the first and third weeks of the month.

Netflix begins the month by dropping the second half of Wednesday season 2 on September 3 and follows with a heavy autumn schedule that includes the Jason Bateman and Jude Law crime thriller Black Rabbit on September 18, and a cluster of high-profile originals on September 25, such as a period drama from the creator of Peaky Blinders and the Mae Martin-led mystery Wayward. The service is also adding a broad mix of library films through the month, including Inglourious Basterds and Phantom Thread, while removing some titles midmonth; listings indicate that Mad Max Fury Road and the sitcom The Good Place depart in the second half of September.
