5 New Netflix Thrillers to Stream This September That’ll Have You on the Edge of Your Seat

As the seasons change, so do our social calendars. In keeping with my usual seasonal cycle, I’m drawn back to the sofa and the cold, unsettling world of thrillers. Whether it’s the promise of a suitably suspenseful evening in or the reassurance that the genre will appeal to everyone gathered in my living room, there’s no better time to settle in with a gripping watch.

This September, Netflix has given us a handful to choose from, with a mix of films, series, and long-awaited new installments to ensure you get your money’s worth from your subscription. From household names such as Robert De Niro to returning favorites, these are the five new Netflix titles we think you need to add to your watchlist.

Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story

Ella Beatty stars in the fourth installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s hit anthology series. Across the eight episodes, Beatty depicts the infamous Massachusetts woman who was accused of murdering her parents. The show has striking contemporary relevance, exploring female rage and repression and how one woman and her axe changed what the world believed a killer could be.

Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story is available to watch on September 17.

The Whisper Man

Netflix’s unsettling new crime thriller adapts Alex North’s bestselling novel into a film. Robert De Niro stars as retired detective Pete Willis, who reunites with his estranged son, played by Adam Scott, when his 8-year-old grandson is abducted. Their search uncovers a link to The Whisper Man, a convicted child murderer Pete helped put behind bars 30 years ago. Suspenseful and twisty, The Whisper Man is already looking comfortable on Netflix’s must-watch list.

The Whisper Man is available to watch now.

The Gentlemen Season 2

Almost three years after the first season, Guy Ritchie’s enthralling gangster drama is returning for a second installment. Set a year after the events of season 1, the new series follows Eddie and Susie as they continue working together in Bobby’s criminal empire—this time overseas, against the glamorous backdrop of Italy. There, they cross paths with a ruthless crime boss and his mercurial fixer. While this stylish take on the world of English aristocracy is less of a high-suspense thriller, it’s a riotous comedy gangster series packed with scandal, scheming, and sharp one-liners.

The Gentlemen season 2 is available to watch now.

With danger closing in, a fading actor must draw on his most famous detective character to uncover the truth. This twist-filled period thriller promises secrets, mystery, and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
