New movies streaming this week give viewers plenty of options without leaving the couch, from a French comedy sequel with a surprise Hollywood cameo to a superhero film making its streaming debut after a rocky run in theaters. Netflix, HBO Max and Hulu all added notable titles over the past several days, giving subscribers a fresh lineup heading into the weekend.
This week’s new streaming movies lean heavily into comedy and genre thrillers, with one awards-season contender from earlier this year finally landing on a subscription service. Below is a full breakdown of what’s new, where to watch it, and what each film is actually about.
Call My Agent! The Movie (Netflicx)
Netflix’s biggest new release this week is “Call My Agent! The Movie,” a feature-length continuation of the beloved French comedy-drama series that aired on France 2 from 2015 to 2020. The film premiered on Netflix Sept. 10 and picks up five years after the fictional Parisian talent agency ASK closed its doors.
Camille Cottin returns as former agent Andréa Martel, who is now attempting to direct her first feature film. Just days before production begins, her lead actor unexpectedly drops out, forcing Andréa to reunite with her old team of agents to save the project. The returning cast includes Laure Calamy, Thibault de Montalembert, Grégory Montel and Nicolas Maury, with George Clooney making a guest appearance as himself.
Directed by Émilie Noblet from a script by original series creator Fanny Herrero and Lison Daniel, the film runs just under two hours and is rated TV-MA on Netflix. The original “Call My Agent!” series, which built a loyal international following after landing on Netflix, followed talent agents scrambling to keep celebrity clients happy while their agency’s business stayed afloat.
Supergirl(HBO Max)
Also new to streaming this week is “Supergirl,” which arrived on HBO Max after wrapping up its theatrical run as part of the relaunched DC Universe. The film stars Milly Alcock, known for her role in “House of the Dragon,” as Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin from Krypton.
The story follows Kara grappling with the trauma of watching her home planet destroyed, an experience that has left her guarded and, at times, difficult to reach. “Supergirl” is the second major release in James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe following 2025’s “Superman,” though it did not perform as strongly at the box office as its predecessor.
For viewers who skipped it in theaters, HBO Max now offers a chance to catch up on the film as it continues expanding on the new shared universe of DC characters heading into future installments.
Rich Flu (Hulu)
Hulu added “Rich Flu” to its library this week, a dark satirical thriller from Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, the director behind the acclaimed Spanish film “The Platform.” The movie follows Laura, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, whose career is reaching new heights just as a mysterious virus begins targeting the wealthiest people on the planet.
As the disease works its way down the economic ladder, from billionaires to millionaires and eventually toward the middle class, society begins to turn against the rich, forcing Laura to protect her family in a world where success has suddenly become dangerous. The film also stars Rafe Spall, Lorraine Bracco, Timothy Spall and Jonah Hauer-King.
“Rich Flu” first premiered at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain back in 2024 before receiving a limited U.S. theatrical and VOD release earlier this summer. Its arrival on Hulu this week marks its debut on a major subscription streaming service.
Why Did I Get Married Again? (Netflix)
Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married Again?” also landed on Netflix this week, continuing the dramedy franchise that began with 2007’s “Why Did I Get Married.” The film follows the extended cast of couples first introduced in the original movie as they navigate new relationship struggles years later.
The “Why Did I Get Married” franchise has remained a consistent audience draw across its theatrical releases, and its arrival on Netflix gives longtime fans an easy way to revisit the series alongside its earlier sequel.
Generation 9/11 (Netflix)
With Friday marking the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Netflix’s documentary series “Generation 9/11” is also drawing attention this week. The series, part of Netflix’s “Turning Point” documentary franchise, looks back at the attacks through the eyes of people who were too young at the time to fully understand what was happening but who were deeply shaped by it in the years that followed, including those who lost parents that day or later enlisted in the military.
The documentary joins earlier entries in the “Turning Point” franchise, including a previous five-part series covering the broader war on terror, and offers a more personal, generational lens on the anniversary.
What Else Is Worth Watching This Week
Beyond the headline titles, several smaller releases also hit streaming platforms this week, including “Knightfall,” “Drive Through Fire,” “Not My Dog” and “First Person: A Film About Love,” all of which became available to stream starting Sept. 11, according to Rotten Tomatoes’ streaming release tracker. These titles are lower-profile than this week’s major releases but may appeal to viewers looking for something outside the mainstream lineup.
Peacock’s original series “The Paper,” a spinoff of “The Office,” also continues to draw attention after dropping its second season on Sept. 9, giving fans of the original mockumentary format another workplace comedy to dig into this month.
Why This Week’s Streaming Lineup Stands Out
September has proven to be a busy month for streaming releases so far, following a quieter stretch in late August when new content was harder to come by. This week’s lineup in particular reflects a broader pattern across the major platforms: pairing high-profile theatrical follow-ups, like “Supergirl” and “Rich Flu,” with subscription-exclusive originals like “Call My Agent! The Movie.”
For subscribers trying to decide where to start, the biggest news is arguably “Call My Agent! The Movie,” given the built-in fanbase from the original series and the novelty of George Clooney’s cameo appearance. Fans of genre thrillers, meanwhile, have two very different options this week in “Supergirl” and “Rich Flu,” one a big-budget superhero blockbuster and the other a smaller, more pointed satire.
What’s Coming Next
Streaming platforms typically add new content on a rolling basis throughout the week, so subscribers can expect additional titles to arrive before the month is out. Apple TV’s spy drama “Slow Horses” is set to return for its sixth season on Sept. 16, while HBO Max has “Backrooms,” one of the year’s breakout horror hits, scheduled to arrive later in the month on Sept. 25.
Netflix is also expected to continue its rollout of new original films and series throughout September, following the pattern set by this week’s additions.
