Netflix September 2017 releases: Lineup includes 'Beauty and the Beast' live-action film

Streaming juggernaut Netflix has released the list of movies and shows for the month of September. The lineup has a good mix of classics as well as recent releases along with renewed seasons of some shows.

According to Variety, Netflix will be streaming some Disney classics such as the animated "Hercules" and "Mulan." One notable movie that will be airing in September is the live-action adaptation of the classic "Beauty and the Beast." The live-action film features Emma Watson as the Disney princess Belle and does not stray too far away from the original source material. Considered to be a faithful adaptation of the animated classic, the movie airs on Sept. 19.

Jerry Seinfeld, the comedic giant of the early '90s, will have his new special "Jerry Before Seinfeld" as well, wherein Seinfeld will be following his previous stand-up routine.

He will be discussing his past and present, and everything in between, with his signature comedic style. It was reported at the beginning of the year that Seinfeld was given $100 million by Netflix for the show. The stand-up comedy will air on Sept. 19.

The third season of "Gotham" will also be arriving on Sept. 21. With the heated events of "Gotham's" last season, fans are sure to want to relive what happened on their favorite New York-inspired show prior to the premiere of season 4 on FOX.

The Quentin Tarantino classic "Pulp Fiction" is set to be available for streaming on the first day of September along with the critically acclaimed Brazilian gangster-inspired movie "City of God." Darren Aronofsky's film "Requiem for a Dream" is included on the list, which will be aired on the same day, along with the terrifying classic "Jaws."

"Pocahontas" will join the list as well, featuring the first time America was discovered by the British as well as the budding romance between Pocahontas and British sailor John Smith. "Pocahontas" will be available on Sept. 14.
