New on Netflix This Week: Top Movies & Series (Sep 7–13, 2026)

Here is what arrived on Netflix in the US this week, September 7 to 13, 2026, gathered with our readers over 65 in mind. There is a warm family comedy, a couple of grownup dramas worth an evening, and a bright animated movie for when the grandkids come by. A few titles come with honest heads-ups so nothing catches you off guard.

Highlights for the Week

What is the best new series for a cozy night in?

Call the Midwife is back for a fifteenth season. If you have followed the nurses of Nonnatus House over the years, this is the comfort watch of the week. It is gentle and heartfelt, with all the familiar faces you have come to love.

Is there something the whole family can enjoy together?

Yes. Dog Man, the DreamWorks animated movie, lands Sunday and it is a real treat for the younger grandchildren. There is plenty of silly humor that the grownups can smile at too.

Anything for a thoughtful movie night?

Two picks. Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again? brings a group of couples back together for a story about love and second chances. Call My Agent! The Movie is a witty French comedy that fans of the series will not want to miss.

Top New Movies on Netflix This Week

Sep 9 – Why Did I Get Married Again? (2026)

Tyler Perry reunites his fan favorite couples for a wedding that stirs up old feelings and new problems. It mixes comedy and drama around marriage, friendship, and forgiveness, which is the sort of story Perry tells well.

If you like a warm, talky drama with a few laughs, this one fits the bill. There is some frank conversation about infidelity and rocky marriages, but nothing graphic, and the heart of it is kindness.

Sep 10 – Call My Agent! The Movie (2026)

Set five years after the beloved French series, this film gathers the old talent agency team to rescue a former colleague’s first turn as a director. It is quick, funny, and full of showbiz mishaps.

Fans of the show will feel right at home. It is in French with subtitles, so keep your reading glasses handy, but the charm comes through with no trouble at all.

Sep 10 – Waiting for the Barbarians (2019)

Based on the J.M. Coetzee novel, this drama stars Mark Rylance as a frontier magistrate whose quiet life comes apart when a ruthless official, played by Johnny Depp, arrives to hunt down supposed enemies. Robert Pattinson features too.

This is a slow, serious film about conscience and cruelty. The acting is superb and worth the patience it asks of you. Do be aware it includes scenes of torture and is grim in places.

Sep 13 – Dog Man (2025)

From DreamWorks and based on Dav Pilkey’s wildly popular children’s books, Dog Man follows a half dog, half policeman hero who protects the city from a scheming cat named Petey. It moves fast and it is awfully silly.

Save this one for a visit from the grandchildren. It is squarely aimed at kids, with cartoon mischief rather than anything scary, and it zips along quickly enough to hold young attention.

Top New TV Series on Netflix This Week

Sep 7 – Call the Midwife (2026)

The fifteenth season of the BBC period drama returns to Poplar in London’s East End, following the nurses and nuns who deliver babies and care for families as the decades roll on. Expect the same tender storytelling.

This is still one of the warmest series on television and a natural fit for older viewers. It handles the hard moments with care, and it never loses its gentle, hopeful spirit.

Sep 8 – Fauda (2026)

The Israeli thriller returns for a fifth season, sending its undercover operative deep into Marseille after an old friend pulls him into a dangerous mission. It is tense and moves at a clip.

Fans of hard edged spy dramas will be glad to have it back. One clear caution: Fauda is very violent, with gunfights and combat throughout, and much of it is in Hebrew and Arabic with subtitles.

Sep 10 – The Perfect Lie (2026)
