Netflix is loading up the fall schedule with heavy hitters, and let’s be honest, most of us are about to spend way more time on the couch. Between long-awaited sequels, buzzy new shows, and even a live sporting event, this lineup is stacked. Here are the 10 biggest Netflix releases you’ll want on your radar, counted down for maximum hype.
10. Call the Midwife (Season 14)
The warm but tearful period drama returns. This season again transports us to East London, where the midwives and nuns of Nonnatus House balance both happiness and tragedy as they deal with fresh social and medical dilemmas of the 1960s. Again drawn from Jennifer Worth’s memoirs, the program still walks the tightrope of nostalgia, history, and gut-punch storytelling.
9. Haunted Hotel
Seeking some laughs with a supernatural kick? This animated spoof from Matt Roller (executive produced by Chris McKenna and Dan Harmon) takes place in a ghost-infested hotel. A single mother inherits the property and the ghost of her brother, and mayhem erupts. Starring the voices of Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides, and Jimmi Simpson, it guarantees irreverent humor and a whole lot of supernatural silliness.
8. Beauty in Black (Season 2)
Back with the dark Korean drama, Kimmie is no longer the shy underdog. Now in charge at the lucrative beauty empire disguised as a trafficking network, she turns the tables on her old employers. Count on more betrayals, vengeance, and deadly games of power in this edgy, fashionable thriller.
7. Black Rabbit
Jason Bateman and Jude Law collaborate on this dark limited series set in New York City’s crime underworld. It’s about a club owner who invites his unstable brother back into his life only to find he’s brought catastrophe home. Intense, dark, and emotionally charged, it’s a family drama masquerading as a crime thriller.
6. Alice in Borderland (Season 3)
The Japanese survival hit series ups the level again. Arisu and Usagi are pulled back into life-or-death games, now against entirely new foes and the enigmatic Joker card. Anyone who loves great puzzles, high-tension action, and psychological suspense will find much to obsess over.
5. Wednesday (Season 2, Part 2)
Nevermore Academy opens its doors once more with more chaos on the horizon. Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams continues to explore dark secrets as audiences finally get to have more of Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley. And, of course, Lady Gaga has been added to the cast in a mystery role, which ought to provide an additional shot of gothic camp.
4. Billionaires’ Bunker
From the maker of Money Heist comes a new survival drama, but with a twist: in this instance, the rich and powerful are trapped within an opulent fallout bunker in the middle of a worldwide conflict. Greed, betrayal, and family intrigue meet as the so-called untouchables are suddenly stuck together, and while money may not buy happiness, it certainly can’t buy peace.
3. The Wrong Paris
Rom-com with a cowboy twist. A young woman applies for a reality TV dating show expecting to be swept away to Paris, France. She finds herself in Paris, Texas, instead, where her strategy to get voted off fails, and she finds herself falling for a rough-around-the-edges bachelor. Miranda Cosgrove and Galen Fletcher star in this sweet, fish-out-of-water romantic comedy.
2. Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford (Live Event)
Netflix is going deeper into live sports with a megafight that boxing enthusiasts won’t be able to avoid. Canelo Álvarez battles Terence Crawford at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for the unified super middleweight title. Dramatic narration by Josh Brolin and Diego Luna provides additional drama to the spectacle.
1. Stranger Things (Season 5, Volume 1)
The Hawkins saga comes to an epic conclusion. The town is in lockdown, and Vecnais is still out there. Eleven is pushed underground as the gang unites for the final battle. It’s the final stand for the much-loved gang and the end of the road for Netflix’s most beloved show.
Whether you’re here for supernatural chills, emotional drama, or live sports history, Netflix’s fall slate has something to hook just about everyone. Stock up on snacks, cancel a few plans, and get ready because September through December is going to be binge central.
