Yahoo News New on Netflix in September 2020: From Ratched and Enola Holmes to Away, here's what's landing next month
Netflix has been at the top of its game for the last few months, being the home of unmissable drama, comedy and reality TV throughout lockdown.
And September is no different, with the streaming giant welcoming Robert Pattinson, Hilary Swank and Toni Colette among its ranks with its latest helping of original programming.
In addition to star-studded titles, a brand new instalment of beloved films, series and a whole heap of entertainment you may have missed the first time round is heading to the platform, too.
Here’s everything that’s hitting Netflix in September...
Tuesday, September 1
Borgen
The Danish political drama, first released on 2010, was a hit with audiences over here in the UK when it first aired on BBC Four.
From the makers of The Killing, Borgen (Danish for 'The Castle') follows Birgitte Nyborg Christensen, a little-known Centrist politician, on her journey to becoming the first female Prime Minister of Denmark.
Mr. Bean – The Animated Series
With the original live-action series, starring Rowan Atkinson, being such a beloved family favourite, Mr. Bean’s adventures have been refreshed with a new animated series.
Atkinson returns as Bean, and follows his adventures in his apartment with Teddy as he tries to avoid landlady Mrs Wicket and her naughty cat Scrapper.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians
After the first series landed on Netflix in June, fans have relived the #dramz of the Kardashians and fallen in love with the family all over again.
Granted, the adventures of America’s First Family of Reality TV are far more low-key compared to their more recent endeavours, but the low-budget look back at the Kardashians' early years almost makes the show twice as fun.
A Beautiful Mind
The classic biographical drama follows Russell Crowe as John Nash, the mathematician and Nobel Laureate in Economics who finds himself developing paranoid schizophrenia and endures severe delusional episodes.
The film is still just as powerful now as it was upon its first release in 2001.
Dinner for Schmucks
The 2010 hit sees Anchorman stars Steve Carell and Paul Rudd team up once more for another zany comedy.
Tim (Rudd) is invited by his boss for dinner, with the employee who brings the biggest buffoon as their plus one receiving a career boost.
Tim is unsure, until he met Barry (Carell) a particularly eccentric man who builds dioramas using stuffed mice.
Felipe Esparza: Bad Decisions / Malas Decisiones (2020)
The Mexican-American comedian is back with a brand new stand-up show in both English and Spanish, which will likely focus on his hectic and unique lifestyle.
True: Friendship Day
The new series, aimed at nursery children, looks like fun for all the family. When a giant Grippity-Grab snags Grizelda’s friendship bracelet and turns her into a mermaid, True heads under the sea with magic wishes to save the day.

Young Wallander
The hotly-anticipated drama follows a younger version of the iconic Swedish detective first made famous by Kenneth Branagh.
The show will be a prequel to the original series, but also serves as a ‘modern reimagining' - so young Wallander will be very much operating in present-day Sweden.
