The new Netflix series "Ratched," which adapts the 1962 novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," is among the titles coming to the streaming platform next month.
The novel, written by countercultural figure Ken Kesey, previously was developed into a film of the same name, starring Jack Nicholson as the lead.
The television series instead will feature "American Horror Story" actress Sarah Paulson as nurse Mildred Ratched, the vindictive psychiatric hospital employee who battles with Randle McMurphy, the character Nicholson portrayed in the 1975 film.
Watch the trailer below.
The entire "Back to the Future" trilogy is among the movies being added in September.
Several films are being removed, including "The Social Network," the Mark Zuckerberg biopic starring Jesse Eisenberg and Armie Hammer, and "Schindler's List," the award-winning 1993 film directed by Steven Spielberg.
Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach's collaborative film "Frances Ha," and original "Jurassic Park" trilogy also leaving. The "Jurassic Park" trilogy returned to Netflix on Aug. 1 after the movies became a popular 2020 meme for embodying the chaos of 2020.
