From September 22 through 24, 2026, Netflix is grouping several notable additions into a short window that includes new series, a limited series, and a movie joining the catalog. Tudum's weekly schedule confirms Minerva Academy for Sept. 22, Lifehack for Sept. 23, and A Different World and My Sad Dead for Sept. 24. Because catalog availability can vary by territory, each subscriber's local Netflix page remains the safest reference on release day.
Netflix schedule for September 22 to 24
| Date | Title | Type | How it enters the schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 22 | Minerva Academy | Italian teen series, 8 episodes | New series premiere |
| Sept. 23 | Lifehack | Thriller movie | Netflix catalog arrival in the weekly schedule |
| Sept. 24 | A Different World | Comedy-drama series | New series premiere, continuing the classic sitcom's universe |
| Sept. 24 | My Sad Dead | Four-episode horror limited series | Netflix premiere after a festival presentation |
Sept. 22: Minerva Academy starts the run
Minerva Academy arrives Sept. 22. Netflix describes the Italian production as a teen drama set at a military high school, where students deal with discipline, rivalry, and family pressure while a young cadet searches for answers about his missing friend. Netflix's corporate site says the season has eight episodes and that the series was directed by Ivan Silvestrini.
The title had already been presented at the Giffoni Film Festival ahead of its streaming debut. For viewers sorting the week by release type, this is clearly a new series premiere, not a returning season.
Sept. 23: Lifehack joins the catalog
Lifehack is listed for Sept. 23. Netflix's official title page identifies it as a 2025 thriller about a thrill-seeking group of teen hackers who take on their riskiest heist after being blackmailed into targeting a crypto-billionaire. The platform lists Georgie Farmer, Yasmin Finney, and Roman Hayeck-Green among the cast.
Because Netflix identifies the movie as a 2025 title, the most useful classification for this guide is catalog arrival, not the film's worldwide premiere. Sept. 23 is the date Tudum places it on the Netflix weekly schedule reviewed here.
Sept. 24: A Different World and My Sad Dead share the date
A Different World premieres Sept. 24 as a sequel series to the sitcom of the same name. The new show follows Deborah, the daughter of Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert, as she begins life at Hillman College. Maleah Joi Moon plays the lead, while Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy return to the original show's universe.
The same day also brings My Sad Dead, a four-episode limited series directed by Pablo Larraín and based on stories by Mariana Enriquez. The story follows Ema, a recently retired doctor who can see and hear the dead, as events intensify after her niece arrives and violence disrupts the balance between the living and the dead. Netflix said the production would have its world premiere at the San Sebastián Film Festival before arriving on the platform Sept. 24.
What counts as a premiere, a new season, or a catalog addition
- New series premiere: Minerva Academy and A Different World.
- Limited series premiere: My Sad Dead.
- Catalog arrival: Lifehack.
- New season: none of the four highlighted titles. On the same Sept. 22 schedule, Tudum lists Doc: Season 2 as a returning season, which helps distinguish the categories.
How to follow the dates
For viewers building a watchlist for the next few days, the sequence is straightforward: Sept. 22 for Minerva Academy, Sept. 23 for Lifehack, and Sept. 24 for A Different World and My Sad Dead. The weekly schedule is a release reference, but the catalog shown in an account may vary by country and other platform criteria.
