By Allison Schonter

It's out with the old and in with the new at Netflix! This weekend, the streamer will mark the change from August to September with a rush of new additions, with a total of 28 titles set to hit the streaming library, including Sonic the Hedgehog, a trio of Jaws films, The Expendables, and more, as well as some new Netflix originals.

Netflix offers three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan. Keep scrolling to see everything coming to Netflix this weekend, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.

Premiere Date: Friday, Aug. 30

The arrival of a distinguished patient highlights the complicated situation of the public health system, lighting the fuse for what is to become an unprecedented and drastic strike."

Inspired by a true story, THE DELIVERANCE is directed by Academy Award nominee Lee Daniels and stars Andra Day, Glenn Close, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Mo'Nique in a genre-defying take on darkness, possession, and finding a higher power."
