Here Are All the TV Shows Coming to Netflix This Week, Including ‘Diary of a Ditched Girl’

There’s a little bit of everything landing between Monday, September 8 and Sunday, September 14 — from a brand-new preschool series based on a beloved Dr. Seuss classic to international dramas, reality TV, and a Swedish rom-com adapted from a hit novel. Below, you’ll find quick primers on each title so you can jump in already knowing the key players, creative teams, and what each story is about.

Dates are included inside each entry so you can plan your week. As requested, this is all about the projects themselves — plots, casts, directors, writers, and more — without getting into release mechanics.

‘Dr. Seuss’s Red Fish, Blue Fish’ (2025)

Inspired by the classic early-reader book, this preschool series follows two undersea friends — Red and Blue — as they play through opposites, patterns, and rhymes via visual gags and short, self-contained adventures. The show aims to introduce concepts like big/small and fast/slow to very young viewers through gentle comedy and repetition, and it’s coming on Monday, September 8.

Behind the scenes, the series is developed as part of a broader slate of animated Dr. Seuss adaptations, with a creative team drawing from preschool veterans across writing, design, and music. Expect bright, minimalist art direction that echoes the original illustrations, plus a narrator-driven structure that keeps each segment easy to follow.

‘Her Mother’s Killer’ (2020)

This Colombian political thriller — known in Spanish as ‘La venganza de Analía’ — centers on Analía, a strategist who infiltrates the presidential campaign of Guillermo León Mejía, the man responsible for her mother’s murder. Carolina Gómez stars as Analía, with Marlon Moreno as Guillermo León Mejía and George Slebi as Pablo de la Torre; the show reappears on Monday, September 8.

Created by Clara María Ochoa and the late Ana Piñeres for CMO Producciones, the series features direction by Camilo Vega and Lucho Sierra across its run. The story balances election-season intrigue, family secrets, and corporate maneuvering, weaving a revenge arc through a full campaign-war room setting.

‘Kiss or Die’ (2025)

A high-concept Japanese comedy/variety series, ‘Kiss or Die’ sets up improvisational scenarios where participants must keep their cool while flirtation, dares, and escalating challenges threaten to break their composure. The format blends sketch comedy with game-show beats and is slated for Tuesday, September 9.

The production pulls in a rotating ensemble of comedians and entertainers, with segments that riff on dating-show tropes, hidden-camera tension, and performance tasks that end — or “succeed” — with a kiss. Expect studio-based set-ups, quick-fire rounds, and lighthearted punishment/reward mechanics that drive each episode’s climax.

‘Las muertas’ (2025)

Adapted from Jorge Ibargüengoitia’s novel, ‘Las muertas’ dramatizes the rise of two sisters who build a brothel empire in mid-20th-century Mexico and become notorious for a string of deaths surrounding their operation. The series uses the author’s blend of dark satire and social critique to explore power, complicity, and corruption, and it’s arriving on Wednesday, September 10.

Directed for television with a period-drama eye — from wardrobes to roadside cantinas — the production assembles a cast led by Paulina Gaitán alongside veteran Mexican talent. Its episode structure follows investigations and testimonies that piece together how the sisters moved from rural beginnings to a criminal network spanning multiple towns.

‘Love is Blind: France’ (2025)

The French edition of the global dating experiment follows singles who meet and propose from within “pods,” forming emotional bonds before seeing one another face-to-face. The season tracks engagements into real-world cohabitation and wedding-day decisions, beginning for France on Wednesday, September 10.

Production keeps the franchise’s signature phases — pods, a couples’ retreat, everyday life, and ceremony finales — while introducing a new cast and cultural context. Expect a mix of heartfelt conversations, family introductions, and compatibility tests that challenge each pair’s commitment outside the pod walls.

‘Beauty in Black’ (2024– )

Created by Tyler Perry, ‘Beauty in Black’ follows two women from opposite worlds — Kimmie and Mallory — whose lives intertwine through a burgeoning beauty-industry empire. As personal histories collide with corporate ambition, the series threads family dynamics, mentorship, and hard-won second chances into an ongoing drama, with the week’s new drop on Thursday, September 11.

Produced at Tyler Perry Studios, the show features an ensemble that includes Taylor Polidore Williams, Crystle Stewart, Debbi Morgan, Richard Lawson, and Terrell Carter. Perry steers the creative through-line as creator, writer, and director on multiple episodes, shaping an arc that moves from boutique dreams to boardroom power plays.

‘Diary of a Ditched Girl’ (2025)

This Swedish rom-com drama follows Amanda, 31, whose string of messy app dates and bar meet-ups in Malmö forces her — and her friends — to reassess what love means right now. Adapted from Amanda Romare’s bestselling novel ‘Halva Malmö består av killar som dumpat mig’, it’s on the way Thursday, September 11.

Developed for television with a grounded, slice-of-life tone, the series stars Carla Sehn in the lead, supported by an ensemble of friends, colleagues, and exes who orbit Amanda’s misadventures. The creative team draws from contemporary Swedish screenwriters and directors to balance awkward humor with honest beats about friendship and self-respect.

‘You and Everything Else’ (2025)

A Korean melodrama about two best friends whose bond stretches from adolescence into adulthood, ‘You and Everything Else’ centers on a reunification after years apart — and a request to accompany one of them through her final days. The emotionally driven story begins Friday, September 12.

Led by a cast that includes Kim Go-eun, Park Ji-hyun, and Kim Gun-woo, the series is directed by Jo Yeong-min from scripts by Song Hye-jin. Episodes trace parallel timelines — from first ambitions and artistic dreams to present-day reckonings — using letters, films-within-the-show, and shared rituals to reveal why their friendship mattered and what it still asks of them.

‘Ratu Ratu Queens: The Series’ (2025)

Set in Queens, New York, this Indonesian dramedy follows four women — Party, Biyah, Ance, and Chinta — who leave home and build community while navigating odd jobs, big dreams, and chaotic city life. The series arrives Friday, September 12.

Developed as a small-screen continuation of the world introduced in the film ‘Ali & Ratu Ratu Queens’, the show reunites those core characters with fresh chapters about family found far from home. Expect Indonesian-English code-switching, stories about immigration hustle and friendship, and guest turns from familiar New York faces.
