  "account": "In September 2026, Netflix is set to release a diverse lineup of movies and shows for viewers to stream. At the top of the list is The Gentlemen season 2, an action-comedy series centered around drugs, guns, and mayhem, starring Theo James as Eddie Horniman. Fans of Guy Ritchie's work should enjoy this season, which brings Eddie and his cohorts into the criminal underworld.\n\nAnother highly anticipated addition is Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, a biographical crime drama anthology series. In this season, the story focuses on the infamous Lizzie Borden, played by Ella Beatty, who was tried and acquitted of the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. The series sheds light on the unsolved mystery surrounding her guilt.\n\nFor fans of crime dramas, Unabomber is a new movie about the notorious domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski, played by Jacob Tremblay. The film alternates between two timelines, depicting Kaczynski's time at Harvard University and the prolonged manhunt for him decades later. This movie features a star-studded cast, including Russell Crowe and Shailene Woodley.\n\nFor those looking for lighter fare, Stavros Halkias: Uncle Stav is a stand-up comedy special from Baltimorean Greek comedian Stavros Halkias. In this hour-long special, Halkias brings his hometown humor to Netflix, promising to deliver laughs with the help of director Matt Johnson. Lastly, NFL fans can tune in to the NFL Melbourne Game: San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams on September 10. This game marks the second matchup between these division rivals during the 2026 NFL regular season.",
