As the nights start to draw in, it will be up to the likes of Netflix to provide that lazy autumn entertainment. Here’s our pick of what’s coming up on the streaming service over the next few months:

Bruised, 24 November

Two decades on from her star turn as a Bond Girl in Die Another Day, Halle Berry makes her debut in the director’s seat with her first feature film. Bruised tells the story of a scandalised cage fighter on a mission to restore her name and rebuild a relationship with the son she abandoned years earlier. Not content with just calling the shots, Berry also stars in the film too: managing to break two ribs in the process. Last year, she told one interviewer she had been pushing through the pain to get the project finished on time. In November, we’ll see whether the hard work paid off.

Worth, 3 September

Just in time for the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Michael Keaton steps into the shoes of Kenneth Feinberg: the celebrated lawyer who was tasked – not without controversy – with devising the fairest possible compensation scheme for its victims.
