New Movies and TV Shows Coming September 2nd: Comedy, Gothic Drama, and the Return of Cult Characters

Contents:
The first week of September will bring viewers several major premieres all at once. The legendary "The Naked Gun" returns to screens in a new incarnation, Netflix continues the story of gloomy schoolgirl Wednesday, Comedy Central is preparing fresh episodes of "Beavis and Butt-Head," and Peacock is launching the sitcom "The Paper" — a spin-off of the cult classic "The Office."

The Naked Gun

Digital Premiere: September 2

Cast: Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson

The Frank Drebin franchise gets a reboot — this time focusing on the legendary cop's son. He accidentally foils a bank robbery but lets a secret device slip into the hands of a powerful IT businessman. The new assignment leads Drebin through a string of mysterious deaths and introduces him to the victim's sister, who writes true-crime stories "based on her own fantasies."

Critics are already calling the film "genuinely funny," and audiences note that the absurd humor in the best traditions of the original still works today.

Wednesday (Season 2, Part 2)

Premiere: September 3 on Netflix

Cast: Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers

The continuation of the hit about the dark heiress of the Addams family has gotten even darker. The second season's episodes were split into two parts, and the new episodes promise more horror and mature drama. Returning to Nevermore isn't just Wednesday herself, but also her younger brother Pugsley.

This time the creators decided to surprise viewers with three versions of the heroes: the classic '90s versions, adult forty-something losers, and even aliens from another universe. The humor is just as edgy and absurd as ever.

The Paper (Series)

Premiere: September 4 on Peacock

Cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Ramona Young
The Paper Series Trailer
This spin-off of "The Office" moves the camera from Dunder Mifflin to the newsroom of a small Midwest newspaper. The staff desperately tries to keep the publication afloat while documentarians capture their every move.

The mockumentary sitcom atmosphere feels familiar from "The Office," but now viewers can expect fresh characters and new ridiculous situations. Earlier on zoomboola.com we covered three films that came out starting August 26.
