Netflix September 2026 Lineup: Ryan Murphy's Lizzie Borden, Fauda Season 5, and Nigella Lawson Joining the Baking Tent

Netflix September 2026 Is Absolutely Stacked: Ryan Murphy's Lizzie Borden, Fauda Season 5, and Nigella Lawson in the Tent

Just when you thought your watchlist could breathe, Netflix dropped its September 2026 schedule — and it's genuinely packed. From true-crime horror to reality TV comfort food, here's everything millennials should actually circle on the calendar.

The Headliner: 'Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story'

Ryan Murphy's Monster anthology returns with its most infamous subject yet: Lizzie Borden, the woman accused of ax-murdering her parents in 1892 and acquitted in one of America's first media circuses. After Dahmer and the Menendez brothers seasons dominated conversation (and awards debates), this deep-dive into the original true-crime obsession feels perfectly timed. The official trailer alone is chilling.

Fan Favorites Are Back

New Faces and Big Swings

Influencer culture gets its Netflix moment with Earle Meets World (September 4), following Gen-Z It girl Alix Earle as she takes her chaotic brand from TikTok to television. There's also Wonka's The Golden Ticket bringing Roald Dahl sparkle, and the documentary Turning Point: Generation 9/11 marking 25 years since the attacks through firsthand accounts.

Comedy fans aren't left out either: Jo Koy: Blue in the Face (his sixth special, September 15), plus new specials from Jared Freid and Stavros Halkias.
