Every movie and show coming to Netflix in September

Even with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm serving you new movies, new TV shows, and original programming tailored to your viewing habits, the streaming service’s fire hose of content makes what’s coming and going difficult to parse.

In September 2021, cinematic masterpiece School of Rock hits the platform, and to be honest, that is all you really need to know. On the television end, a(nother) new He-Man series and a new My Little Pony series are set to premiere, along with Midnight Mass and new seasons of Kid Cosmic, Sex Education, and Lucifer — that show’s sixth and final season.
