The number of new mysteries on Netflix in September doesn’t even need a full hand to count them. There’s only one, Wicked Little Letters, which is far from the traditional murder mystery that fans are used to seeing on the streamer. Mystery has never been Netflix’s most dominant genre, but even neglected categories like fantasy tend to get more than one new movie a month.
Since there isn’t much to work with for now, our only other addition to the list of the best mysteries on Netflix right now is the Italian thriller Vanished in the Night. You can find the rest of our selections below as we collectively try to solve the enigma of why there aren’t more mysteries on Netflix.
