Near the start of 2021, Netflix boldly promised they would have a new original movie every single week of the year in 2021. According to my advanced mathematical calculations, that would have been 52 movies in all of 2021. As we prepare to enter September, the company has just unveiled its full film lineup for the final third of the year, and it includes 41 titles — less than a dozen shy of the 52 they promised for all of 2021 squeezed into four months. That’s a lot.

The titles include the action comedy Red Notice with Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, and the dark comedy Don’t Look Up from Adam McKay and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. There’s also Worth, with Michael Keaton as a lawyer assigned to determine the settlements with the families of victims of 9/11, and a new Shaun the Sheep animated movie. And then there’s like 35 more movies on top of that. Like I said: It’s a lot!

Here is everything they have coming for the rest of 2021. Good luck trying to watch it all. Please note that these dates are subject to change, and some of these films are planned to have theatrical releases as well. The dates listed below are the currently announced release dates specifically on streaming.
