We’re hurtling towards the end of the year, and next week, we’ll see the final batch of releases scheduled for September drop before we officially move into the Halloween season. Below, we’ll walk you through all the new arrivals and departures scheduled for September 23rd through the 29th.
There is a bit of housekeeping before digging in. We expect a complete list of new arrivals for October in the coming days (expecting Wednesday PM), but until then, we’re keeping track of everything known coming here. As always, you can expect daily updates plus a Friday roundup of everything new on Netflix via our New on Netflix hub page.
With all that said, let’s get into three highlights of what’s coming up this week:
What to Watch on Netflix This Week
Nobody Wants This (Season 1)
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
Erin Foster’s long-awaited romantic comedy series drops this week. While it’s certainly flying under the radar at the moment, we hope some buzz is generated following its release towards the end of the week. Starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, the plot revolves around an unlikely relationship between an agnostic woman and a rogue rabbi. Expect a mix of the rom-com movies that dominated the 200s with a mix of Fleabag for good measure.
Rounding out the cast of the 10-part series, with each episode clocking in at around 25 minutes, are Justin Lupe, Timothy Simons, Sherry Cola, Emily Arlook, and Tovah Feldshuh.
Jailbreak: Love on the Run (2024)
Coming to Netflix: Wednesday
Netflix has been on an absolute tear this year with its lineup of crime documentaries, and one we suspect may break waves because it’s a relatively recent story in the news and shares similarities with Prison Break, which is dominating the Netflix charts around the globe right now.
The story tells the story of Vicky White, a corrections officer who seemingly out of nowhere was coerced and fell deeply in love with a convict eventually aiding in his temporary and highly public escape.
Penelope (Season 1)
Coming to Netflix: Tuesday
It’s rare when we see series coming exclusively to Netflix and not carrying Netflix Original branding, but that’ll be the case with Penelope, a new drama from the Duplass Brothers best known for titles like Togetherness, Room 104, and The Skeleton Twins. They also worked with Netflix on Horse Girl and Paddleton in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Featuring Megan Stott, Austin Abrams, Rhenzy Feliz, and Krisha Fairchild, the plot revolves around a 16-year-old who runs away and decides to rebuild her life in a remote, uncharted wilderness.
