Whether you’re hitting the cinema or just chilling at home, September has a lineup of must-watch shows and movies from around the world. This month delivers ghosts, witches, and action-packed drama even before Halloween, with Filipino A-listers leading the charge. Here are our top 5 picks for September:

1. Lavender Fields

ABS-CBN Studios has assembled an all-star cast including Jodi Sta. Maria, Jericho Rosales, Janine Gutierrez, Edu Manzano, Jolina Magdangal, and Maricel Soriano for their latest action-packed drama series, Lavender Fields. Expect a heady mix of love, revenge, and epic fight scenes in this teleserye you won’t want to miss.

2. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

The wait is over! Tim Burton’s cult classic from the '80s is back with a sequel that promises all the spooky fun of the original.

3. How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies

If you missed this 2024 Thai tearjerker when it hit theaters, now’s your chance to see what all the hype was about. The film, which has smashed box office records across Southeast Asia—including the Philippines—is finally coming to Netflix. Warning: This one’s a certified tissue-grabber.

4. Transformers One

The Transformers franchise shifts gears with Transformers One, an animated feature that dives into the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron on their home planet, Cybertron. With a star-studded voice cast featuring Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson, this is one animated adventure that’s sure to pack a punch.

5. Agatha All Along

It’s time to embrace your inner witch! Agatha, the wickedly entertaining character from WandaVision, takes the spotlight in her very own fantasy-musical spin-off.
