Netflix is set to launch three high-profile productions in September 2026, aiming to maintain its dominance in the media space and counter the usual drop in viewer engagement during this time of year. The first of these, Ten Percent: The Film, is an extended feature film adaptation of the popular French series Ten Percent. Directed by Émilie Noblet and based on a screenplay by Fanny Herrero, the film reunites the original cast, including Andréa (Camille Cottin) and Mathias (Thibault de Montalembert), who find themselves at the center of a dramatic storyline set on the edge of a cliff. The film explores the ever-changing landscape of the film industry and features international guest stars such as George Clooney, Eva Longoria, Laetitia Casta, and Laurent Lafitte. It will be released directly on Netflix, bypassing a traditional theatrical run.
The second release, Monster: Lizzie Borden's Story, is a true crime anthology series created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The series focuses on the infamous 1892 double murder of Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother. Ella Beatty stars in the title role, supported by Rebecca Hall and Charlie Hunnam. The production delves into the social repression of the time, the condition of women in the late 19th century, and the public’s fascination with the case. The series is noted for its visually striking style and emotionally intense storytelling, offering a fresh and disturbing look at historical events.
The third release, Wonka's The Golden Ticket, is an original concept that transforms the chocolate factory world into a large-scale competition game. The show features pairs of contestants who have obtained a golden ticket, which transports them into life-sized sets where they must face each other in physically demanding trials, morally complex challenges, and psychological traps. The program blends the grand, oversized aesthetics of a blockbuster film with the high-stakes mechanics of modern reality television, similar to Squid Game: The Challenge. The voice of Gene Wilder, who passed away in 2016, is recreated using artificial intelligence with the approval of his estate and in collaboration with the company ElevenLabs. The competition will be spread across nine episodes, offering a unique and intense viewing experience.
