As the unofficial end of summer comes with Labor Day this weekend, Netflix is stocking its streaming library in preparation of the days getting shorter and colder.
Netflix subscribers will have an abundance of new titles to choose from when they sit down for their binge watch this weekend. As they peruse through the ever-growing library, they will see a handful of new Netflix original series added, dabbling in various genres including comedy and true crime, a few fan-favorite Disney movies, and even a little something for those already stocking up on the Halloween candy and laying out their costumes, though the latter is not for the faint of heart.
