New on Netflix September 2023: Top picks
Disenchantment season 5
And they all lived happily ever after? Matt Groening’s animated, twisted fairy tale is ending, though with raunchy jokes and goofy antics rather than a sweet kiss or white knight. The misadventures of hard-drinking, hard-hitting Queen Bean (Abbi Jacobson), feisty companion Elfo (Nat Faxon) and personal demon Luci (Eric Andre) culminate in an epic battle for Dreamland.
To save the realm from her mother, the wicked Queen Dagmar (Sharon Horgan), Bean must overcome a prophecy that she will kill someone she loves. Along the way, the heroes will face Satan, a headless corpse, an evil scientist and most terrifying of all, their true destiny. - KW

Virgin River season 5
Baby on board … and in danger, on multiple fronts. Last we visited the small town of Virgin River, nurse practitioner Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and bar-owning boyfriend Jack (Martin Henderson) were expecting a little one. But Mel is experiencing a high-risk pregnancy and must make a difficult decision about her job. Things get even more stressful when the entire community is threatened by a devastating wildfire. Elsewhere, Doc (Tim Matheson) and Hope (Annette O’Toole) are grappling with how their respective impairments are changing their identities. Still, there’s a silver lining on the horizon, as Preacher (Colin Lawrence) finds new love. - KW
Premieres Sept. 7 on Netflix
Selling the OC season 2
Bigger listings, bigger paydays, bigger drama. The spinoff of the hit reality show Selling Sunset is back on the market. Reputations, romances and relationships are on the line for The Oppenheim Group's Orange County team, who are navigating a hot real estate market and even hotter rumors. Tension is (still) brewing between agents in the office, which only grows with the arrival of a new face, Alexandra Harper. As Gio Helou snarks, "She’s pretty, charismatic, but overrated." Tell us how you really feel!
Premieres Sept. 8 on Netflix
Band of Brothers
If somehow you (or your father) never caught this miniseries when it aired on HBO in 2001, or in reruns or streaming since, now is your chance. Created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, it's adapted from a book written by Stephen Ambrose that tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army during World War II. Richard "Dick" Winters (Damian Lewis) is part of a group of soldiers that partakes in jump training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, then moves on to airborne landings in Normandy. From there, they're on the frontlines of the the Siege of Bastogne, the invasion of Germany and the liberation of a concentration camp. - KW
Premieres Sept. 15 on Netflix
Love at First Sight
Strangers who meet cute on a plane is such a romantic comedy trope, yet we fall for it every single time. In the case of this film from Vanessa Caswill, it helps that the couple in question is played by the effervescent Haley Lu Richardson (White Lotus) and endearing Ben Hardy (Bohemian Rhapsody). Hadley is a literature-loving American headed to her father’s wedding in London … until she misses her flight. After getting rebooked, she encounters British statistics student Oliver. Sparks fly on what ends up becoming one long, up-in-the-clouds date. But then they lose track of each other in customs — without exchanging numbers. - KW
Premieres Sept. 15 on Netflix
Sex Education season 4
Time to graduate from Sex Education. When the fourth and final season of the British teen comedy kicks off, Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) are starting their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College. It’s a far different world than Moordale Secondary, and while Eric simply wants to avoid being labeled a loser again, Otis is nervous about establishing his new clinic. Meanwhile, Maeve (Emma Mackey) is enjoying American life at Wallace University as she studies under author Thomas Molloy, played by Dan Levy of Schitt’s Creek. - KW
Premieres Sept. 21 on Netflix
Spy Kids: Armageddon
Robert Rodriguez reboots his beloved family film franchise with a new generation of young heroes that are taking the spy game to the next level. Nora Tango-Torrez (Gina Rodriguez) and Terrence Tango-Torrez (Zachary Levi) are the world's greatest secret agents — and are married to each other. Their two kids, Patty (Everly Carganilla) and Tony (Connor Esterson) join the family biz to fix what they broke when they unwittingly helped game developer Ray Kingston (Billy Magnussen) unleash a computer virus that gives him control of all technology. - KW
Premieres Sept. 22 on Netflix
Castlevania: Nocturne
The animated adaptation of the Castlevania video game series continues with its fourth bloody installment. Against the backdrop of revolutionary France, Richter Belmont (Richard Armitage) takes up his family's mantle to battle a looming vampire menace. The series is inspired by fan-favorite games Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. If the new series sticks closely to the games’ narratives, we’ll likely see Richter initially defeat Dracula (Graham McTavish) with the help of teen vampire hunter Maria Renard (Michelle Ruff) and Dracula's son Alucard (James Callis). That could see Richter falling under the dark spell of Shaft, a servant of Dracula, endangering the world he once saved. Either way, fans are in for a visceral time with a focus on demonic combat and adventuring. - BV

Love Is Blind season 5
Is love truly blind? Seems to be! So far, Netflix's dating reality show hs a better track record than that other rose-filled dating franchise. But those feel-good love stories are just a bonus because let’s face it: We’re all here for the messy drama. The show’s format remains the same: Single men and women date each other, sight unseen, in connected pods. They only meet if they get engaged. This time around, the singles come from Houston, so we're sure to get some Southern charm mixed with "bless your heart" betrayals.
