With the arrival of fall, students can look forward to college football, the beginning of sweater weather and, most importantly, the new set of movies and television shows coming to Netflix.
The most anticipated additions for many Netflix subscribers will be, according to rumors, every Disney movie ever made. Netflix announced in May that it had teamed up with Disney and would be offering Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm movies, being the exclusive streaming service to do so, according to Time. While it was not specified exactly which movies will be available, “Zootopia” is a confirmed addition, so we can expect Disney movies to be among the new releases.
Other popular films arriving are “The Imitation Game,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Top Gun,” “Sweeney Todd,” the original “Footloose” and the classic thriller franchise “Jaws,” according to USA Today.
With these new movies coming in, we must say goodbye to some of our easily accessible favorites. Films leaving include “Zoolander,” “A Walk to Remember,” “2 Fast 2 Furious,” “Lilo and Stitch” and “The Emperor’s New Groove.”
New seasons of popular television shows such as “New Girl,” “The Walking Dead,” “Gotham” and “Bones” will be added to Netflix’s September haul, but seasons of shows such as “Melissa and Joey,” “Fringe” and “Alias” will be among those taken away from the television provider.
The recent Netflix original series favorite “Stranger Things” announced a second season on Aug. 31 which will debut in 2017, according to Entertainment Weekly. “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” has been renewed for a third season and will also air in 2017.
It was announced on Jan. 28 that another Netflix original favorite, “House of Cards,” will return for a fifth season, but executive producer Beau Willimon will not be returning to the series, according to an article on Entertainment News.
Willimon said that, after five years and four seasons, it was time for him to move on to new endeavors. However, he said he was supremely proud of what the crew built together, wished the show much continued success, and left it in the hands of a very capable team.
With bunny cops, killer sharks, zombies and politicians coming to Netflix on top of long-awaited college football and the promise of cooler weather, September is sure to be a good month in the life of a college student.
