Netflix's September Lineup Is, Like, Super Heavy

September is upon us, and with it comes the first time students from across the U.S. will be returning to school en masse since 2020. It’s a stressful time for everyone to adjust to a new normal, while also looking back with the 20th anniversary of 9/11. With such heavy things on people’s minds, it’s not a surprise that many of Netflix’s debuts for September are also heavy-hitters, filled with drama and angst. Luckily, some lighter stuff is also coming to Netflix in September 2021, so fans will have content that serves the serious mood as well as escapist fare.

Most networks will be commemorating 9/11 with historical documentaries, but Netflix is going one better, with both a documentary film on Sept. 1 and a fictionalized drama called Worth arriving a few days later. The film is based on the true story of how the government struggled to compensate families who lost family members due to the Sept. 11 attacks. It’s not the only heavy-duty drama coming this month, either. Fans of Melissa McCarthy will see the comedian take on a more serious role in the drama film The Starling.

But there’s fun stuff on the way as well. The Circle will be back for yet another round of reality show dating, arriving in its patented weekly batch drop format starting Sept. 8. Nailed It! will nail it again for Season 6 with all-new bakes. And in comedy, Sex Education will be back for a third season of high school antics in and out of the bedroom.
