Welcome to an expanded preview of all the new movies Netflix has scheduled to round out 2024. We’ll look at titles from around the world set to premiere between September and December 2024, which are premiering at Film Festivals and which will be getting theatrical runs. 

We’re still waiting for more details on Netflix’s plans for the film festival circuit this Fall. We’re sure a number of movies will be among the premieres at the British Film Festival, Venice, TIFF, New York Film Festival, and others. Likewise, this list will evolve over time as we get new first looks and release dates.

For the complete list of what’s still to come to Netflix throughout the remainder of 2024, keep it locked here on What’s on Netflix. We’re also starting to track all the 2025 releases. 

Finally, we’ll exclude any Christmas movies coming up on Netflix this year, as we’ve covered those separately here. As a quick recap, you can look forward to the following:

• Hot Frosty
• Meet Me Next Christmas
• Our Little Secret
• That Christmas (December 6th)
• The Merry Gentlemen

Rebel Ridge

Coming to Netflix: September 6th
Runtime: 2hr 12m
Rated: TV-MA

Here at What’s on Netflix, we’ve been tracking three movies over the past couple of years that have been in what we’ve dubbed “post-production hell.” Those three movies include The Old Guard 2, Havoc, and, of course, Rebel Ridge. While the former looks like it won’t hit our screens until 2025, we will finally get Rebel Ridge this year.

Officer Black Belt

Coming to Netflix: September 13th
Runtime: 1hr 47m
Rated: TV-MA

One of the Korean movies that Netflix has lined up for the Fall is in a very familiar genre for the streamer and one where they’ve succeeded before: the action-comedy genre. 

Kim Woo-bin headlines Officer Black Belt, which is about a martial artist who begins his new job alongside his probation officer hunting down offenders and fighting crimes. From first glance, this Jason Kim directed film looks a bit camp and fun.
