New on Netflix: 5 shows and movies to watch this week (Sept. 18-24)
Looking to check out what's new on Netflix this week? This week's Netflix new releases include the fourth and final season of the original series Sex Education. We’ll follow the students of Moordale Secondary as they make their debut at Cavendish Sixth Form College, which feels worlds away from the academic world they once knew.
Netflix viewers can also indulge in Love Is Blind season 5, Netflix's "pod-based" dating reality show rife with plenty of feel-good love stories and drama that's just as messy.
This week's new on Netflix list also features the documentary The Saint of Second Chances, which explores Mike Veeck, son of baseball Hall of Famer Bill Veeck, and his journey to clear his family’s good name. Meanwhile, Japanese anime series Kengan Ashura season 2 brings burly brawler Ohma “Ashura” Tokita back into the arena for a series of knock-down, drag-out fights to the death.
Plus, Spy Kids: Armageddon explodes onto the streaming service, bringing the cheesy but well-loved franchise back to the cultural zeitgeist with a thrill ride that follows a new generation of young heroes who are joining the family spy game.
Read on for our day-by-day listing of what's new on Netflix this week.
New on Netflix this week: Top picks
The Saint of Second Chances

Love Is Blind season 5
Netflix's dating sensation returns once more with a new pool of singles from Houston, Texas asking the age-old question: is love truly blind? The game remains the same. Men and women go on "dates" in separate pods, revealing themselves to their partners only after they make the decision to get engaged. Of course, while there are plenty of storybook relationships, there are also lingering pasts, dubious friends, and plenty of drama bombs. Will the new couples sink or swim without ever having met in person? You'll just have to be there.

They help to spread a virus that gives him control of the world's technology, which forces the Torrez family to team up and make the whole "being a spy" thing a family affair.
