(SPOT.ph) While the myriad of Netflix drops in August, including classic Barbie movies, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, and the complete first season of Extraordinary Attorney Woo, may want to make you spend most nights curled up in bed for a good ol' streaming binge, you better not sleep on what's to come in the next month. That's right, we won't wake you up when September ends; we're showing you what's worth staying up for, before the month even begins.

Put these 10 Netflix series and films on your watch-list for September 2022:
Little Women (Series)
Release date: Saturday, September 3
Yup, it's a K-Drama adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel. This group of small ladies, however, is caught up in a gripping conspiracy thriller where they try to steal from the richest family in South Korea. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God's Kim Go-eun, All of Us Are Dead's Kim Go-eun, and Nam Ji-hyun star as the unlikely thieves. As Timothée Chalamet said in the unrelated Greta Gerwig Little Women adaptation, "and I'll watch."
Thai Cave Rescue (Series)
Release date: Thursday, September 22
From the Book of Boba Fett director Kevin Tancharoen and famed Thai director Nattawut Poonpiriya, well-known for directing Bad Genius and One for the Road, we have Thai Cave Rescue, which doesn't look to be your typical Hollywood dramatization of a real-life, life-or-death situation. Based off the Tham Luang cave rescue that took place in 2018, the survival thriller will show how the world banded together to save a soccer team from drowning in a complex mountain cave system.
Blonde (Movie)
Release date: Wednesday, September 28
Blonde is a Marilyn Monroe biopic, but it isn't based on true events that happened in her real life, no. It's based on a Joyce Carol Oates novel that presents a heightened and fictionalized version of her life. If you've recently caught this year's Elvis, you'll know that insane and over-the-top biopics are exactly what the medium of film was built for, rather than your typical Wikipedia summary, text-to-screen plot. And with The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford director Andrew Dominik, an NC-17 rating, and superstar Ana de Armas in the lead role, we just know that this'll be a similarly insane ride, possibly for all sickos everywhere.
Do Revenge (Movie)
Release date: Friday, September 16
Riverdale's Camila Mendes, Stranger Things' Maya Hawke, and Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner. We're convinced some Hollywood producer just put those names up on a whiteboard and immediately sold a movie. Fortunately for us, the film in question, Do Revenge genuinely looks like your popcorn-fun, dark comedy. From Someone Great director and Love and Thunder writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the film was also described as a Alfred Hitchcock-ian dark comedy starring teenage girls. Guess we can all relate.
Cobra Kai: Season 5 (Series)
Release date: Friday, September 9
The franchising begins in the fifth season of Cobra Kai as Sensei Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) plans to expand the dojo's empire past the San Fernando Valley. Clearly, Terry didn't take notes from Walter White from Breaking Bad. Doesn't he know expanding an empire in a show's fifth season never works out? Anyhow, more sports film shenanigans look to be up in this next season of Cobra Kai, as Ralph Macchio looks to gain his dojo mojo back and William Zabka enlists the aid of Karate Kid III's Sean Kanan in the fight against Terry.
Once Upon a Small Town (Series)
Release date: Monday, September 5
If you're looking for a light and vibrant K-Drama to watch on the weekly now that Extraordinary Attorney Woo has wrapped its first season, Netflix has got you covered with Once Upon a Small Town, which airs episodes weekly every Monday, starting September 5th. Red Velvet's Joy stars as a policewoman who befriends a veterinarian who's new to town. She's quite adamant that she has no time for dating, so you all know how that'll turn out.
Lou (Movie)
Release date: Friday, September 23
The kidnapping thriller Lou feels like the type of movie you'd head into the cinema for on a rainy September afternoon, circa 2014. Oddly specific, sure, but it's giving those exciting, mid-budget thriller vibes that we hardly see anymore these days. With Allison Janney in the John Wick-esque role of helping a mother (played by Jurnee Smollett) rescue her kidnapped daughter, we're undoubtedly in for some brutal and gnarly action sequences and quip exchanges. You can't ask for a better night-in.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Series)
Release date: TBA
For our anime choice of the month, we have the series based off the, uh, let's say "much talked about" video game, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Edgerunners takes place in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, specifically Night City, the lawless and futuristic metropolis owned by big corporations. The series will center on the mercenaries and other lowlifes that populate this techno-capitalist hell. With the acclaimed anime studio Studio Trigger behind the series, we could possibly have a title that comes close to hitting the vibes of classics such as Ghost in the Shell and Akira.

Fakes (Movie)
Release date: Friday, September 2
While there's certainly a wide variety of Netflix crime series that explore the illegal worlds of drugs, sex, and murder, we have yet to come across a series that tackles the most hashtag-relatable crime of all: acquiring fake ID's. That is until next month's Fakes, a young adult dramedy about two teens who set up a fake ID empire, only for their life of crime to quickly spiral out of control. A cautionary tale? Perhaps, but we know kids will still keep having them made. It's a generational trend that evem the pandemic couldn't stop.
I Used to Be Famous (Movie)
Release date: Friday, September 16
If you're looking for a heartwarming, low-key musical drama to get wrapped up in for a night, I Used to Be Famous looks to be the one to lift your spirits. In the film, Ed Skrein stars as Vince, a former member of what used to be the best boy band on the block. Vince is struggling to kick off his solo act career, when he meets a young, extremely talented drummer with autism. The two help each other rise to the top of their respective games, with some melodrama thrown in the mix, of course.
