If you’re planning your next week of movie nights and binge watches in advance, then you’ll want to know what’s new on Netflix and worth a watch. And thankfully, you’re in the right place.

I’m What to Watch’s streaming editor and every week, I write a round-up just like this one about Netflix’s upcoming releases. This is a curated pick of everything coming to the streamer, with 7 new options this week.

When I say “this week”, I’m talking the days between Saturday, September 20, and Friday, September 26. There’s a nice mix of TV shows and movies this time around.

So let’s find you something to watch on Netflix this week.

Crime Scene Zero

Hit Korean reality series Crime Scene gets a Netflix-ified reboot over the next few weeks; four episodes will release on Tuesday, September 23 followed by four more the following week and two final ones the week after.

In Crime Scene Zero, real-life contestants are given roles in a murder mystery and they have to investigate a crime in order to discover which of them is a murderer. Each episode will see them interview a new “suspect” (ie actor) to understand more about the case.
