New to Netflix UK & Ireland in September

September could well be the most impressive month Netflix has had all year.

The streaming service has released its forthcoming schedule and it seems it's going to be a busy 30 days for subscribers with a bursting roster of original TV shows and licensed films, including recent releases and beloved classics.

Spearheading the big TV returns is adult animation BoJack Horseman which returns for a fifth season. Elsewhere, new episodes of Marvel's Iron Fist and documentary series American Vandal - which will follow-up its first season with a brand new mystery - will all be added throughout the month.

Cult sitcom The Good Place will also return, tying up its huge season two finale cliffhanger with weekly new episodes set to premiere in the UK the day after its US debut, just like Better Call Saul which will continue through to November.

The big new release of the month is Maniac, a brand new Limited Series from the mind of novelist Patrick Somerville. His mind-bending 10-episode show has united director Cary Joji Fukanaga as well as stars Emma Stone and Jonah Hill. Find out more about Maniac below.

Film-wise, there'll be a new crop to add to your list. These include Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York (2002), Clint Eastwood's Best Picture winner Million Dollar Baby (2004), Lonely Island comedy Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016), Marvel blockbuster Doctor Strange (also 2016) and acclaimed 2017 drama Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool, which stars Annette Bening and Jamie Bell.
