The concluding part of season two of Wednesday; the story of Charlie Sheens redemption; a clash between the two greatest super middleweights in the world; an A-list crime drama starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman; a lavish period drama from the creator of Peaky Blinders; and the third season of one of the most talked-about Japanese sci-fi shows are among the highlights of the new film and TV projects hitting Netflix in September.
Starting the month off strong is part two of season two of Wednesday, that hits Netflix on Sept. 3. Theres no need to introduce this absolute monster hit for the streamer, as seemingly everyone is watching the first half of Wednesday season two delivered 50 million views worldwide, the most views for an English-language shows opening week on the streamer since season one of Wednesday. Part two kicks off with Hide and Woe Seek, the 13th episode in total of the series, and we pick up the action after our titular heroine was unceremoniously defenestrated by Tyler. On Sept. 10, Netflix debuts a Charlie Sheen documentary that is sure to dominate the discourse online. The two-parter aka Charlie Sheen recounts the once-troubled tabloid regulars life and career, from the professional highs of a respected film and TV career, to the lows of the tiger blood public meltdown era, and finally the path to sobriety and the semblance of normalcy. The talking heads involved include ex-wife Denise Richards, Heidi Fleiss, Jon Cryer, Sean Penn, Ramon Estevez, Brooke Mueller, and Chris Tucker. The doc comes from Andrew Renzi, who directed Netflixs docuseries Pepsi, Wheres My Jet?
Live sports is very much a regular thing on Netflix now, and this months boxing main event is the hotly anticipated fight between Mexicos Canelo Cinnamon lvarez and American Terence Bud Crawford. Streaming live from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sept. 13, the fight is dubbed Once in a Lifetime and sees the two greatest super middleweights fighting today for the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring undisputed super middleweight titles.
Netflixs big crime drama for this month is the starry Black Rabbit, which stars Jason Bateman and Jude Law as the leads and debuts Sept. 18. The show tells the story of a pair of estranged siblings who reconnect when the troubled brother (Bateman) brings the chaos that follows him and threatens the other brothers successful nightspot. Written by Zach Baylin, the scribe behind Justin Kurzels excellent Law-starring feature The Order, and co-writer of the less excellent reboot of The Crow, the series also stars Cleopatra Coleman, Amaka Okafor, Sope Dirisu, Dagmara Domiczyk, Chris Coy, Abbey Lee, Odessa Young and Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur.
Sept. 25 sees the launch of House of Guinness, a lavish new British period drama from Netflix. Hailing from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, House of Guinness goes inside the drama and heartache of the Guinness brewing family. The action centers on the Irish and New York wings of the family around the 19th century and concerns itself with the fate of the four children of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man who really expanded the familys wealth and business empire. Expect wondrous sets and costumes, as well as classically trained actors reallying earning their money. The series stars Louis Partridge as Edward Guinness, Anthony Boyle as Arthur Guinness, Emily Fairn as Anne Guinness and Fionn OShea as Benjamin Guinness and the cast also includes talented thesps David Wilmot, James Norton, Jack Gleeson, Niamh McCormack, Seamus OHara, Dervla Kirwan, Michael McElhatton, Danielle Galligan, Hilda Fay and Cassian Bilton.
This months international gem on Netflix is the eagerly anticipated third season of Japanese sci-fi drama series Alice in Borderland, which also launches Sept. 25. Based on Haro Asos manga series of the same name, the series tells the story of two young people trapped in an empty parallel version of Tokyo, where they have to survive by competing in increasingly dangerous games. That brief description is not really doing the show justice, but strong critical praise, and word-of-mouth, has seen Alice in Borderland become a sleeper hit for Netflix. The series was co-written and directed by Shinsuke Sato and stars Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya as the leads. Well worth a watch if youre interested in the survival genre or cleverly made dramas.
