Whether you’re revisiting a favorite or discovering something new, Netflix’s September slate delivers something for everyone.
John Singleton’s landmark debut stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube, Morris Chestnut, and Laurence Fishburne in a powerful coming-of-age story set in South Central Los Angeles. With Angela Bassett, Regina King, and Nia Long in key roles, the film redefined Black storytelling in Hollywood.
Directed by Spike Lee, this thrilling heist drama features Denzel Washington as NYPD detective Keith Frazier, caught in a high-stakes standoff that’s as much about secrets as it is about money. The film remains one of Washington’s most charismatic screen turns.
Chris Tucker shines in this fast-paced action comedy about a hustler who gets tangled in a dangerous scheme after crossing paths with the wrong people. Tucker’s sharp wit and energy helped make the film a cult classic.
Jamie Foxx electrifies as the villain Electro in this superhero sequel starring Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. His performance adds fresh energy to the franchise, alongside co-stars Emma Stone and Dane DeHaan.
This horror-comedy, directed by Tim Story and co-written by Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins, flips the slasher genre on its head with an all-Black ensemble cast. Starring Perkins, Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, and Yvonne Orji, the film uses satire and scares to hilariously confront horror’s clichés.
The hit Netflix Original drama from Tyler Perry returns with Kimmie stepping fully into power. Played by Crystle Stewart, the once-overlooked sex worker is now running the family empire on her own terms.
Led by Shemar Moore as Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, the final season of the action-packed police drama lands on Netflix after its network run. The series has long spotlighted Moore’s charisma in the role of a leader navigating duty and community.
Serayah stars as a grieving hip-hop artist who finds healing and unexpected love in rural Tennessee, opposite Tyler Lepley. Produced by DeVon Franklin and Tyler Perry, and featuring Phylicia Rashad, the film blends faith, romance, and music for an inspiring story.
