Top 10 foreign language shows and movies on Netflix in September: 'Borgen' to 'Undercover'
Foreign-language content on Netflix is always a delight to indulge in. Over the years, the streaming giant has been consistently adding new titles to its ever-expanding library, especially after focusing on German, Italian, Spanish and Hindi-language original series and movies.
September brings with it a heady mix politics, thrillers, crime, supernatural, sci-fi, and comedy. Here is everything foreign-language that is coming to Netflix in September 2020.
'Borgen' (Seasons 1-3)
The Danish political thriller is touted to be an excellent series that 'you have either never heard of or absolutely love'. A cursory look over the Internet will prove just how widespread the fanbase for the show is. Since its third season that last aired in 2013, Netflix is aiming for a revival with its season 4 (which is upcoming, more details TBA). The production is set to bring back the original creative team including creator Adam Price, and stars Sidse Babett Knudsen (Birgitte Nyborg) and Birgitte Hjort Sørensen (Katrine Fønsmark).
The first three seasons of 'Borgen' arrives on Netflix on September 1, 2020.
'Freaks - You're One of Us'
The German supernatural drama is a thrilling mix of sci-fi and crime too. It follows a young, timid working mother who discovers that she has superpowers. But she is not alone as one of her co-workers is also like her - and there are more like them with varied powers. No sooner than she makes this discovery, that she also uncovers a surprising conspiracy. 'Freaks - You're One of Us' is directed by Felix Binder, and written by Marc O Seng with Tim Oliver Schultz.
Starring Cornelia Gröschel, Tim Oliver Schultz, Wotan Wilke Möhring, Gisa Flake, Nina Kunzendorf, Ralph Herforth, Frederic Linkemann, Finnlay Berger and Thelma Buabeng, 'Freaks - You're One of Us' arrives on Netflix on September 2, 2020.
'Undercover' Season 2
The Belgian crime drama 'Undercover' is returning for a second season following the immense success of Season 1. Picking up less than a year after the events of the first season, Anna Drijver's Kim is working at Human Rights.
With Bob's (Tom Waes) help, her research into an illegal arms trade in Syria leads her to El Dorado Ranch, a country and western ranch in the Belgium flatlands. According to the official synopsis, "Bob goes undercover and tries to get in the good graces of the arms-dealing Berger brothers. From behind bars, Ferry (Frank Lammers) continues his search for the true identity of the undercover agents that arrested him."
'Undercover' Season 2 arrives on Netflix on September 6, 2020.
'Family Business' (Season 2)
The offbeat French comedy series is returning following the success of its first season. The second season will continue the story following the events of Season 1 surrounding a family deep into the weed business as France begins legalizing the drug. The binge-worthy comedy became popular for the quirky characters and many laugh-out-loud moments throughout the series, and the second season is expected to get better.
Season 2 of 'Family Business' comes to Netflix on September 11, 2020, and the trailer is still to come. Season 1 is currently streaming.
