Dog days of summer? Those are long gone on Netflix in September.
Its a very busy month coming up on the Big Red Machine. Their animated Stranger Things spinoff, Tales From ’85, is back for a second season — and so is the popular ’80s sitcom A Different World, revived for a new generation (with several original cast members). Other highlights include a LEGO version of One Piece, and a reality series called Wonka’s The Golden Ticket, where contestants enter a recreation of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory to compete for prizes (and, presumably, avoid being turned into a giant blueberry or sent down a garbage chute).
Here’s everything coming to Netflix in September 2026
(Also: It’s not listed below because it does not have an official release yet, but The Great British Baking Show is also returning for a new season on Netflix in September.)
