If you thought that Netflix would release Wednesday on any day besides Wednesdays, think again. On the first Wednesday of September, the saga of Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams continues with Wednesday Season 2 Part 2. Netflix has already dropped the trailer for the next four episodes, and we’re eagerly awaiting the fate of Wednesday’s werewolf roomie, Enid (Emma Myers), the return of Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie), and the appearance of Lady Gaga. 

Wednesday isn’t the only series that made us wait nearly three years in between seasons. The Japanese thriller Alice in Borderland is coming back later this month, with its third season teasing new death games and impossible choices for Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) and Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya). If you’ve been craving something brutal and devastating like Squid Game after the Korean series concluded earlier this year, make Alice in Borderland your next watch.

As for new shows premiering in September, Black Rabbit has caught our attention. Jude Law and Jason Bateman play brothers in this crime thriller set in New York. We’re also keeping an eye on House of Guinness, the new historical drama from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight that follows the Irish family behind the world-renowned brewery in the 19th century.

Here are the shows and movies coming to Netflix in September — as well as what’s leaving.

Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 (Sept. 3) 

Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) may have been knocked unconscious at the end of Wednesday Season 2 Part 1, but she certainly won’t stay incapacitated. In the trailer for the second half of the second season — which, like the first half, contains four episodes — our protagonist is back at Nevermore Academy. In the process of freeing the captives at Willow Hill’s secret “Long-term Outcast Integration Study,” Wednesday inadvertently created an opportunity for her Season 1 love interest-turned-enemy Tyler (Hunter Doohan) to escape the facility. Now, she must protect her friends and family from Tyler’s Hyde form, while continuing to solve the mystery behind her vision of her best friend Enid’s (Emma Myers) death. [Trailer] [Everything to know about Wednesday Season 2 Part 2]

Black Rabbit (Sept. 18)

Netflix is pulling a Black Rabbit out of its hat, but you don’t need magic when you have Jason Bateman in front of and behind the camera. In this crime thriller, the Ozark mastermind plays the troubled brother of a New York City restaurateur (Jude Law) who causes problems for his brother’s business when his gambling debts come back to haunt him. Take some Ozark crime, add some Uncut Gems tension, and throw in some of the chaos of The Bear while you’re at it, and *poof!* Black Rabbit. Come for Bateman looking like he just woke up from a two-year coma, stay for Law’s character, who is a former indie rocker, starring in a pitch-perfect, grungy, black-and-white music video from the ’90s. –Tim Surette [Trailer]

House of Guinness (Sept. 25)

There’s a reason why House of Guinness is being described as Succession meets Peaky Blinders. Netflix’s upcoming drama follows four siblings in a prestigious family — Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn), and Ben (Fionn O’Shea) — as they wrestle with inheriting one of the world’s largest breweries. Their father, Sir Benjamin Guinness, has just died, and the legacy of the Guinness brewery hinges on his adult children’s next steps. House of Guinness is created by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, so we’re expecting some nail-biting drama and tense rivalries.  

Alice in Borderland (Sept. 25)

Two and a half years ago, Alice in Borderland Season 2 answered the main question viewers were asking: What is Borderland? Turns out, the death games that Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) had been forced to play since the show’s first moments did not take place in reality. The truth is that Arisu and all of the other players were gravely injured by a meteorite strike in Tokyo. Many of their hearts, including Arisu’s, stopped beating for an entire minute. The Season 2 finale suggested that within that minute, they, being at the border of life and death, unknowingly entered Borderland. Only the hearts of those who survived the games started beating again in real life. Season 3, though it no longer adapts the original manga by Haro Aso, follows the story of these survivors as they face yet another set of death games. [Trailer] [Alice in Borderland Season 2 ending explained]
