Netflix has announced the new movies and TV shows arriving in September 2024. Between new shows, popular returning series, original and licensed movies and more, there's a good mix of content coming to the popular streaming service this month that you won't want to miss.

The returning shows take top billing this month. "Emily in Paris," "The Circle" and "Selling Sunset" all return for new seasons this month. Ryan Murphy's anthology series "Monster" is also back for a second season, this time as "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story." But there are also new movies like "Uglies" starring Joey King, as well as newly added licensed movies and shows like " Jaws " and "Heels."

These are just a few of the new additions to Netflix over the next few weeks, which will also see Netflix add a ton of new original documentaries, comedy specials and even a few live events. To make sure you don’t miss any fresh arrivals we’ve got the full slate down below. Plus, we have a roundup of what’s leaving Netflix in September, to give you a last chance to watch. Here's everything coming to — and leaving — Netflix this month.

New on Netflix in Sept. 2024: Top picks

'Rebel Ridge'

Dubbed "'Rambo' for the modern age" by Tom's Guide Australia's managing editor Stephen Lambrechts, "Rebel Ridge" could be a big hit for Netflix this month. After watching the trailer when it dropped back at the beginning of August, it became my most anticipated movie on Netflix this month.

"Rebel Ridge" stars Aaron Pierre as Terry Richmond, a former U.S. Marine who has come to the small town of Sandy Springs to post bail for his cousin. But before he can do that, he's stopped by a local police officer, who seizes Terry's money without cause. Now, Terry must use his combat training to take down the town's corrupt police force led by Chief Sandy Burne (Don Johnson) and get his money back.

The action looks great in the trailer, but so do the performances of Pierre, who gives off shades of prime Will Smith, and Johnson, who seems set to be just as evil as the corrupt police chief he played in the "Watchmen" HBO series.

Stream on Netflix from Sept. 6

'The Circle' season 7

For those who don't know, "The Circle" is a reality competition show that relies entirely on building the perfect digital persona. The goal? Become the most popular member of The Circle and win $100,000.

But despite all contestants living in the same building, they never see each other in person. Some of them aren't who they seem either — you can play as a catfish (fake online persona) if you think it gives you better odds of winning the game. In fact, a catfish has won twice before, including just last season. Don't miss one of Netflix's most popular and addicting reality shows ever when it returns this month.

'Emily in Paris' season 4: Part 2

Starring Lily Collins, "Emily in Paris" follows the titular Emily Cooper living her life as an American ex-pat in Paris. The first half of the season dropped back in August and now, Emily is set to have even more adventures, from skiing in the French Alps to taking a Roman holiday.

Fans of "Sex and the City" will enjoy this Netflix original show, as both shows were created by Darren Star. The critical response remains as mixed as ever, with the Rotten Tomatoes score for the first part of season 4 scoring the lowest of any season so far. But despite this, "Emily in Paris" remains one of Netflix's most popular shows.

'Uglies'

In "Uglies," everyone is considered "ugly" until they turn 16. At that point, they are given extreme plastic surgery and dubbed "Pretty" which allows them to fully integrate into society. So when Tally Youngblood (Joey King) turns 16, she hopes that the surgery will give her everything she dreamed about growing up as an "ugly."

But before she can be transformed, she discovers that society isn't all it's cracked up to be and that the surgery could be a life-altering mistake. She escapes to the "Smoke" where a community of "uglies" are hiding from the powers that be. This dystopian sci-fi adaptation of the 2005 novel of the same name could end up being one of the biggest movies on Netflix this month, so don't miss it.

Stream on Netflix from Sept. 13

'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'

On August 20, 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez walked into the den of the Beverly Hills mansion where they and their parents José and Kitty lived, and gunned their parents down with shotguns. Both were eventually tried, and ultimately convicted of the murders, and are currently serving life sentences at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility outside of San Diego, California, without any possibility of parole.

But were they unjustly imprisoned? Was this murder, however wrong, driven by years of abuse from the father José? In "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," Ryan Murphy will lay out a dramatic retelling of the murder and the events that led up to it. The series stars Nicholas Chavez as Lyle Menéndez, Cooper Koch as Erik Menéndez, Javier Bardem as José Menendez and Chloë Sevigny as Kitty Menéndez. Don't miss this hotly anticipated follow-up to "Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story."
