Cobra Kai season 5 and the premiere of Blonde, the fictionalized take on Marilyn Monroe’s life, starring Ana de Armas as the cinematic icon, lead Netflix’s September 2022 offerings.

In the fifth season of Cobra Kai, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) continues to pursue his mission to dominate the Valley — and potentially, the world — with the dojo’s notorious “No Mercy” karate style. Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (William Zabka) are left rudderless, without a dojo to call their own, and the conflict between Miguel (Xolo Mariduena) and Robby (Tanner Buchanan), Samantha (Mary Mouser), and Tory (Peyton List), and the rest of the high school karate rivals only continues to grow. With the help of some old friends, Daniel works to finally put a stop to Silver, and Cobra Kai, once and for all. Something tells us it won’t be easy.

Ana de Armas is the latest actress to step into the shoes of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde, the movie adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name. Presented as a highly-stylized biopic, the flick tells a fictionalized version of Monroe’s rise to stardom and her troubled time in the spotlight. Also starring is Adrian Brody as Arthur Miller, Bobby Cannavale as Joe DiMaggio, Evan Williams as Eddie G. Robinson Jr., Sarah Paxton as Miss Flynn, Xavier Samuel as Cass, along with many more.

In other movies, Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke join forces to Do Revenge, a dark comedy set in a socially charged high school environment. If you’re into psychological-thriller, Lou is worth your time. Allison Janney showcases her edgy, violent side as the mysterious woman who helps her neighbor, played by Jurnee Smollett, find her kidnapped daughter.

YA fans rejoice, Fate: The Winx Saga returns for season 2, starring Abigail Cowen and bringing more magical fairy drama to the streamer. And for comedy fans, Patton Oswalt returns behind the mic for the first time since the pandemic started for We All Scream, his fourth comedy special for the streamer, which he directed, as well.
