The Devil All the Time (Glen Wilson/Netflix)

All that money Netflix invested in new movies and shows is paying off during this pandemic. This September it premieres a Charlie Kaufman film, a psychological thriller with Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland, a Ryan Murphy series about Nurse Ratched, and a movie about Sherlock Holmes' younger sister, played by Millie Bobby Brown.

There are also some rom-coms in the form of a series (The Duchess) and a movie (Love Guaranteed). And don't forget that Girlfriends finally comes to Netflix this month. Our top picks and the full list are below, so add these to your list to binge-watch solo or with friends.


Away (Sept. 4) It might seem tempting to leave the planet right now, but in this Netflix series, Hilary Swank plays an astronaut with conflicting feelings about it. While she's always wanted to go to Mars, her chance to lead a mission there comes at a difficult time for her family.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things (Sept. 4) A film directed by Charlie Kaufman is going to be weird no matter what. A film he wrote and directed can be confounding. I'm Thinking of Ending Things falls into the latter category, so buckle up. That advice should probably have been given to Jessie Buckley, who visits a new boyfriend's parents where things get stranger and stranger.

The Devil All the Time (Sept. 16) You're used to Tom Holland fighting evil but not this kind of evil. In The Devil All the Time he's taking a stand against Satan, who is working his magic through Robert Pattinson and Sebastian Stan.

Ratched (Sept. 18) Nurse Ratched gets the Ryan Murphy treatment in this new series. It stars Sarah Paulson in the title role and is a prequel to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Enola Holmes (Sept. 23) Sherlock Holmes has a teen sister and she's Millie Bobby Brown. In this film adaptation of the first book in the Nancy Springer series, Brown plays Enola Holmes, who's trying to solve what happened to her missing mother.
