It's the end of one month and the beginning of another, and Netflix isn't relaxing on the celebration. As August officially draws to a close and September arrives, the streaming giant is packing its library with a long list of new additions. In fact, this week will see a total of 45 new titles, 14 of which are Netflix original series, films and specials.

While August has certainly been a big month for the streaming giant, bringing with it the debuts of Lucifer Season 5 and the third and final season of Danish apocalyptic drama The Rain, September will prove to be a heavy-hitter as well. In fact, this week, subscribers will be treated to a new season of Chef's Table and the highly-anticipated premiere of I'm Thinking of Ending Things, Netflix's adaptation of Iain Reid's debut novel. These additions will lead to dozens of others set to be made throughout September.

Keep scrolling to see everything set to be added to the streaming library this week, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that are set to leave before the end of the month!
