Whereas there’s nonetheless one full week left of August, it’s possible you’ll be questioning what’s developing on Netflix all through September. Earlier within the week, Netflix dropped its listing of what’s developing, and we simply obtained a handful of latest titles introduced right this moment that we’ve now included in our complete listing. 


What to Watch on Netflix This Week

Hostage (Restricted Sequence)

Variety of episodes: 5
Score: TV-MA
Language: English

The large new Netflix Unique sequence is a brand new British political thriller sequence that was initially developed below a special title and has some high UK expertise topping the solid listing. The story facilities on the British prime minister’s husband being concerned in a kidnapping plot that additionally ties in with the French president starting to obtain threats.

We gave the sequence a four-and-a-half-star score, citing that it continues Netflix’s glorious UK run of hits over the previous couple of years. We concluded, “Selecting out criticisms is especially tough, which is a testomony to how good this sequence is. It always retains up the suspense, however there’s actually a predictability about how issues will play out. It’s a twisty sequence, however so most of the key twists really feel extra inevitable than stunning.”


Hostiles (2017)

Score: R
Language: English
Style: Drama, Western
Director: Scott Cooper
Solid: Scott Shepherd, Rosamund Pike, Ava Cooper

One of many surprises this week got here within the type of the 2017 film Hostiles, which is streaming on Netflix US for the primary time in seven years. Set in 1892, Hostiles is a brutal Western that follows U.S. Military Captain Joseph J. Blocker, a hardened soldier with a deep-seated hatred for Native People. On the verge of retirement, he’s given one ultimate, unwelcome order from the President: to escort a dying Cheyenne conflict chief, Yellow Hawk, and his household again to their tribal lands in Montana.

The film nonetheless holds a respectable 71% on RottenTomatoes to this present day, with the consensus being, “Hostiles advantages from gorgeous visuals and a strong central efficiency from Christian Bale, each of which assist elevate its uneven story.”

When you love the likes of Dances with Wolves, 3:10 to Yuma, Bone Tomahawk, or True Grit, that is for you.


Broke (2025)

Score: R
Language: English
Style: Drama, Western

Sticking with the country vibe, we transfer on to Broke, which involves Netflix following its VOD launch earlier this Summer time, on condition that it skipped a theatrical launch altogether, which is a tragic disgrace, on condition that it’s a really well-constructed and acted movie. Fast word, although, for those who’re signing up or wanting to look at this on the Netflix advert tier, you’ll be out of luck. As with all Sony Footage releases, that is at the moment blocked on Netflix’s promoting tier. 

The synopsis reads, “Caught in a blizzard alone, a bronc rider with mind trauma fights to outlive and displays on how his profession might result in his premature dying.”
