It’s September on Netflix, and all the stars are out. Well, a few of them. Toni Collette. Jude Law. Jason Bateman. Charlie Sheen. Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. The streamer is transitioning slowly out of summer toward a highly anticipated award season with several films on the release schedule that could net Netflix its first Best Picture win. We’re not quite there yet, though. Instead, the schedule is full of comfort food, from The Great British Baking Show to thrillers to salacious docuseries. Hey, that stuff has value, too. Here are the nine new titles hitting the catalogue this month that stand out the most.

The Great British Baking Show season 13
Everyone’s favourite comfort show returns. Seriously, it’s one of the few things left reminding us that there’s still some good in the world. (As long as they don’t do another Mexican food episode.)
Premieres Sept 5
AKA Charlie Sheen
Remember #winning? Remember ‘tiger blood’? Remember Platoon, Major League and Men at Work? (Also Two and a Half Men. He was the half-man, right?) Hollywood chaos agent Charlie Sheen does his version of Motley Crue’s The Dirt with a tell-all docuseries sure to feature wild stories and some wildly unreliable narration.
Premieres Sept 10
The Wrong Paris
A country gal with European dreams (Miranda Cosgrove) is cast on a reality dating show she thinks is set in Paris, France. Turns out, it’s Paris, Texas. Whoops! (That’s also how the Wim Wenders film starts, right?) Luckily, the guy she’s competing for is a hunky, sensitive cowboy played by Pierson Fode, whoever that is.
Premieres Sept 12
Black Rabbit
Jason Bateman, with a long beard, scraggly hair and Sonic Youth shirt, is a gambling addict making life difficult for his restaurateur brother, played by Jude Law. Imagine The Bear if Cousin Richie was a bigger dirtbag and owed the mob a lot of money.
Premieres Sept 18
Haunted Hotel
Bob’s Burgers meets Hotel Transylvania? That seems to be the elevator pitch for this adult animated series from Rick and Morty alum Matt Roller, about a single mother operating a struggling hotel overrun by ghouls and ghosts, including that of her own brother. Will Forte, a quintessential ‘guy who could make reading the phone book funny’ comic actor, voices the latter. Looks fun.
Premieres Sept 19
Alice in Borderland season 3
Detoxing from Squid Game? May we suggest another Asian series about people in a dystopian near-future forced to play games for survival? Based on a Japanese manga, Alice in Borderland is not quite as bleak, and is set apart by a more fantastical, comic-derived visual style.
Premieres Sept. 25
House of Guinness
Succession, but make it drunk. Sorry, your show isn’t escaping the comparison when the synopsis describes the series as ‘following the aftermath of the death of brewery mogul … and the great impact of his will on the fate of his four adult children.’ It is the brainchild of Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, though, so it certainly could rock.
Premieres Sept. 25
Wayward
Yet another iteration of the pervasive ‘everything is a cult’ theme in movies and TV right now, with Toni Collette as the headmaster of a school for troubled teens apparently sending students to her version of the Sunken Place. Co-creator Mae Martin (Feel Good) also co-stars as the cop investigating weird happenings in the small town where the school is located.
Premieres Sept. 25
Ruth & Boaz
Netflix’s country era dovetails with Tyler Perry’s in this romantic melodrama, produced by Perry and based on the Biblical story of the title. In this modern take, Ruth (Empire’s Serayah McNeil) is a singer-rapper from Atlanta who relocates to rural Tennessee and falls in love with a buff rancher (Tyler Lepley). But then the latter’s intimidating record label boss comes looking for her.
