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.
