Mashable’s streaming guide for the week of September 18, 2026 highlights two new additions to Netflix’s catalog. The first is Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, a true‑crime series produced by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The series revisits the 1893 case of Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquitted of the murder of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. Ella Beatty portrays Borden, while Vicky Krieps plays housemaid Bridget Sullivan. Rebecca Hall and Charlie Hunnam appear as Borden’s parents, Billie Lourd plays her sister Emma, and Sarah Paulson makes a guest appearance. The guide notes that the internet is expected to have strong reactions to the portrayal. The second Netflix release is Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 Season 2, the animated spin‑off set between the second and third seasons of the live‑action series. The season follows the Hawkins Investigators Club as they tackle a new mystery involving ghosts, strange blue flowers, and a threat that may be immune to Eleven’s psychic powers, voiced by Brooklyn Davey Norstedt. Additional voice talent includes Luca Diaz, Jolie Hoang‑Rappaport, Elisha ‘EJ’ Williams, Braxton Quinney, Benjamin Plessala, and Odessa A’zion. Mashable observes that if the season resembles its predecessor, it will be a fun, beautifully animated adventure, though it may also raise more questions about the main Stranger Things storyline than it answers. Both titles are listed as “now streaming on Netflix” in the guide, indicating they became available on the platform on the September 18 release date. The guide also mentions other new offerings across services such as Paramount+’s Route 187 and MobLand Season 2, but the Netflix additions are the only ones highlighted under the trend term “netflix new movies” for this week.
