With temperatures still pushing the century mark (for some us), it’s nice to know that relief isn’t far away. Fall will be here before we know it. And while that thankfully means cooler days are ahead, it also means that a new movie season is on the horizon. In light of that, streaming behemoth Netflix has announced the platform’s full slate of movies in their just released Fall Movie Preview.
Netflix has a very unique place in the feature film world. And while some are quick to dismiss much of their movie catalog, there is no denying that Netflix has delivered some truly great films, especially over the past several years. Just last year, they were the distributor behind three of my top four movies of 2025. So suffice it to say, Netflix has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the movie space. And that doesn’t look to change in 2026.
Their Fall Movie Preview is stacked with an assortment of features that is sure to appeal to casual viewers, genre fans, arthouse lovers, awards voters, and everyone in between. Their lineup is full intense thrillers, blockbuster spin-offs, wild comedies, thought-provoking documentaries, and intriguing foreign language films. Here is a taste of the many Fall movies Netflix has in store for its 325 million(ish) subscribers…
