Summer may be coming to an end, but Netflix's release schedule is showing no signs of slowing down as fall approaches. Exciting new movies are arriving on the streamer this September like the thriller Lou, starring Allison Janney, and Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde with Ana de Armas playing the iconic starlet, while Do Revenge puts a twist on the teen flick, starring Stranger Things' Maya Hawke and Riverdale's Camila Mendes.
As for TV series, Karate Kid spin-off series Cobra Kai returns for season 5 and Love is Blind: After the Alter season 2 catches us up to speed on this year's contestants on the reality TV show. It's not just Netflix Originals, either – US audiences can catch movies like If Beale Street Could Talk, The Italian Job, and A Clockwork Orange, while UK viewers have the likes of Son of Rambow, Kajillionaire, and Napoleon Dynamite coming your way.
Cobra Kai season 5 – September 9
Everyone's favorite martial arts comedy drama returns for a fifth season on Netflix and the new installment sees Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) on a mission to expand the Cobra Kai empire following the season 4 finale. With Kreese (Martin Kove) behind bars and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) putting karate on the back burner as he focuses on righting his wrongs, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) must reach out to an old friend for help.
Lou – September 23
New thriller Lou follows a woman living on a remote island (Jurnee Smollett) whose daughter is kidnapped. She teams up with the mysterious older woman next door (Allison Janney) to hunt down the kidnapper, but their journey into the wilderness will test their limits and expose dark and shocking secrets from both of their pasts. The movie is helmed by Anna Foerster, who has previously directed episodes of popular TV shows like Westworld, Outlander, and Criminal Minds.
Blonde – September 28
A fictionalized take on the life of the iconic actor, the movie is directed by Andrew Dominik and based on the 2000 novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates. The movie also stars Adrien Brody as Arthur Miller, the playwright and husband of Monroe, along with Bobby Cannavale, Julianne Nicholson, and Scoot McNairy. The film is also seemingly the first Netflix Original movie to get an adults-only NC-17 rating (an 18 rating in the UK).
