Greetings from Italy and welcome to your end-of-week roundup of everything new on Netflix US! As we officially cross into September, Netflix has opened the floodgates with a massive first-of-the-month content drop. Over the past seven days, a staggering 109 new titles (95 movies and 14 series) have been added to the library.
Because the first of the month fell earlier this week, we actually already did a dedicated breakdown of the September 1st drops. You can check out our extra recap here for a closer look at those specific 68 titles.
For today, we’re looking at the complete weekly picture as we head into the weekend. Whether you want to catch up on massive horror sequels, dive into some spicy reality TV, or revisit classic 80s action flicks, your watchlist is about to get seriously packed.
Before we dive into the top 10 data to see what subscribers have actually been watching, let’s take a look at our three streaming highlights for the week:
Best New Movies and Shows on Netflix This Week
The Gentlemen (Season 2)
Type: TV Series
Genre: Action, Comedy, Crime
Guy Ritchie’s phenomenally stylish and endlessly entertaining crime caper is back for its highly anticipated second season! Picking up where the chaotic first season left off, Eddie Horniman (Theo James) is now fully entrenched in the cutthroat, aristocratic weed empire he inherited. But with new money comes new enemies, and this season promises even more eccentric gangsters, double-crosses, and signature rapid-fire Ritchie dialogue. If you haven’t started this series yet, consider your weekend booked.

Type: Movie
Genre: Horror, Mystery, Thriller | Runtime: 2h 7m
One of the many big recent Paramount movies hitting Netflix this month is this terrifying sequel to the 2022 breakout horror hit is ready to ruin your sleep schedule. Starring Naomi Scott as a global pop sensation about to embark on a massive world tour, the film follows her descent into a waking nightmare as she begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Plagued by the sinister, smiling entity, she is forced to confront her dark past to survive. It’s an intense, jump-scare-heavy thrill ride perfect for kicking off the spooky season a little early.
Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly (2026)
Type: Movie
Genre: Documentary, Sports | Runtime: 1h 12m
Netflix’s acclaimed Untold documentary series never misses a beat when it comes to the cultural zeitgeist. This brand-new original documentary takes a deep, often hilarious, and surprisingly poignant look at the viral sensation of the 2024 Paris Olympics: Australian breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn. The doc explores how a university lecturer became an overnight global meme, diving into the backlash, the internet culture surrounding her performance, and the actual mechanics of competitive breaking.
