Netflix has confirmed its September slate for the Middle East and North Africa, and it is a month built on returns rather than new franchises. The Gentlemen is back for a second season, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 comes back for round two, and Tyler Perry’s married couples reunite for another wedding. Everything below is confirmed for the MENA region, which includes the UAE, with dates as supplied by Netflix. Netflix notes that dates and titles are subject to change.

The Gentlemen: Season 2 is the headline return
Eddie and Susie Glass are back, and the pitch is expansion: Eddie wants to grow the estate-turned-empire with or without Bobby’s blessing, while Susie goes looking for a new way to diversify the business. Guy Ritchie’s series was one of Netflix’s stronger 2024 breakouts and the follow-up arrives on 3 September. If you need the practical details, we have a separate guide on how to watch The Gentlemen: Season 2 in the UAE.
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 keeps Hawkins ticking over
The animated Hawkins spin-off returns on 17 September with a Valentine’s Day setting, ghostly apparitions and a swarm of strange creatures loose in town. It is not the mainline show, but it is the only new Stranger Things material on the service this month and it lands on the busiest day of Netflix’s September calendar.
Three films worth pencilling in
Why Did I Get Married Again? (9 September) brings the couples back for the destination wedding of Marcus and Angela’s daughter, with the old grievances travelling with them. Our UAE release guide has the full watch details.
Call My Agent! The Movie (10 September) picks up five years after ASK Agency shut down. Andréa, now a first-time director, loses her lead actor days before shooting and pulls her old team back together.
UNABOMBER (25 September) is the month’s serious swing: a drama inspired by real events tracing Ted Kaczynski from Harvard prodigy and psychological test subject to the target of one of the FBI’s longest manhunts.
New series to watch beyond the big two
The Doll (16 September) is a modern retelling of Bolesław Prus’s Polish novel, following a self-made merchant undone by his obsession with an aristocrat. Plastic Beauty (17 September) drops an ER surgeon into cosmetic medicine and sets her against a celebrity doctor. The Fixers, also on 17 September, teams a washed-up gangster with a politician’s son to clean up other people’s secrets. Lovesick, which arrived on 2 September, follows Emilia Sauri chasing a medical career during the Mexican Revolution.
Family viewing: LEGO ONE PIECE
The month closes on 29 September with a two-part LEGO ONE PIECE special, in which Usopp tells a tall tale about the Straw Hats crossing the East Blue into the Grand Line, set before Chopper joined the crew. It is aimed at younger viewers but pitched at the existing One Piece audience, which in this region is not small.
What it costs to watch in the UAE
Netflix UAE runs three tiers: Basic at AED 35 a month for HD on one device, Standard at AED 49 for Full HD on two, and Premium at AED 71 for 4K HDR on four. Every September title is included in all three; the only difference is picture quality and how many people can watch at once. If you are weighing it against the alternative, our Netflix vs Prime Video in the UAE comparison breaks down the maths.
