Here’s Everything Coming To UK Netflix In September
As lockdown started to loosen, the majority of us jumped at the opportunity to venture back out into the outside world. Whether that meant enjoying a socially distanced pint at the pub or making use of the weekly slashed restaurant prices, it’s safe to say our social calendars have been booked and busy throughout the month of August.
While the long-awaited experience of catching up with friends and family has been lovely to say the least, it has also meant that we’ve been missing out on tons of quality TV and film time. While entertainment releases may not be at the top of our priority lists right now, indulging in some great telly is still a viable use of time in between back-to-back social functions.
So, if you manage to grab a free evening on your own this month, you’ll be happy to know that Netflix is bringing the goods for September. Not only do they have a brand new Ryan Murphy horror series starring Sarah Paulson, but there is also a blockbuster thriller fronted by Spiderman himself, Tom Holland. But if all of that sounds a little too scary, there are also a handful of rom-coms and mysteries to keep you satisfied this month.

Set just as Wallander graduates from the police academy, the series sees the new officer sent out on his very first case as hate crimes begin to surge in Sweden.
