Netflix: What's Coming and Going in September
It's okay to mourn the end of summer. But let's not get stuck in a rut, shall we? The fact is that there's actually quite some time left before true winter blues set in and a whole intervening season full of apple cider, colorful foliage and plenty of fodder for autumn Netflix-watching.
That might include new and returning Netflix originals, like the first seasons of Easy and Marvel's Luke Cage; the documentaries The White Helmets, Extremis and Amanda Knox; new standup comedy specials from Cedric the Entertainer and Iliza Shlesinger; returning series like Chef's Table: France, Narcos (Season 2) and Longmire (Season 5); and kids shows including Kazoops!
Among the other additions, there are some slightly older films, like the 1984 movie musical Footloose, the 1969 John Wayne Western True Grit and the entire Jaws series from the 1970s and '80s. Fans can also catch up on recent seasons of shows like New Girl, Penny Dreadful, The Walking Dead, Luther, Call the Midwife, Heartland, Shameless and The Fosters, or binge on newer series like Supergirl and Crashing.
