Netflix releases: New movies and shows week of September 26

There’s always something new on Netflix, and this week we’ve got a ton of options. Not only is this because Netflix’s NC-17 Marilyn Monroe movie Blonde is finally debuting, but because it’s the start of the month — which means a whole lot of movies hitting Netflix. It’s all a part of how Netflix provides plenty of new movies and shows every weekend. 

The biggest Netflix release of the week is Blonde, from writer/director Andrew Dominik. And, no, it’s not a biopic. The film is based on Joyce Carol Oates’ bestselling novel, which takes creative liberties with a reimagining of Monroe’s life. Lead Ana de Armas is working with a solid supporting cast of stars, including Bobby Cannavale, and Adrien Brody. Blonde got a huge 11-minute-long standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival after it finished rolling.
