Netflix opens its September with a kick-off game on the other side of the world. The NFL Melbourne Game, the 49ers against the Rams, streams live at 8:35 p.m. ET on September 10, and it is only the second game of the 2026 regular season. Netflix says it is the league’s first-ever regular season game in Australia.
It is also a rematch of last year’s split series. The Niners won a close overtime game in October, then were blown out in November. Nobody is calling this one.
Crime, violence and a real-life manhunt
The Gentlemen returns for a second season on September 3. Theo James plays Eddie Horniman, the 13th Duke of Halstead, a former Army captain and UN peacekeeping officer who also runs a drug empire. This season he plans to expand with or without the blessing of Bobby (Ray Winstone), while Susie (Kaya Scodelario) sniffs out a new way to diversify. Tom’s Guide says to expect lots of violence and crime.
Monster comes back for a fourth season on September 17, this time as The Lizzie Borden Story. Ella Beatty plays Borden, tried and acquitted of the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. Charlie Hunnam returns as her father, Andrew. Ryan Murphy is not involved, as with the previous Ed Gein season, which Tom’s Guide says was not well received despite Hunnam’s performance.
Unabomber, a film arriving September 25, alternates between two timelines: Ted Kaczynski (Jacob Tremblay) at Harvard, and the long manhunt decades later. Russell Crowe plays Dr. Henry Murray, a professor who ran abusive experiments that may have contributed to Kaczynski’s turn. Shailene Woodley plays FBI Agent Joanne Miller.
