The best movies and shows coming to Netflix in August

Get your watchlist ready – here’s everything coming to Netflix in August.

There’s no beating around the bush—after a few months of top-tier new content, Netflix‘s August offerings are looking a little light on fresh shows and films. There are plenty of classics arriving, on the other hand, so read on for highlights and the full list of new releases.

A Star Is Born

You’ve probably heard of this one—heck, you might even have seen it… Bradley Cooper’s hugely successful remake of the oft-told classic might not have won a ton of Oscars like many of us initially thought, but nevertheless impressed in many areas, not least of all Lady Gaga’s powerful lead performance.

World’s Most Wanted: Season 1

First they bring back Unsolved Mysteries, and now Netflix tickles our true-crime nostalgia nodes with this riff on a familiar title. It’s not clear how much DNA this shares with America’s Most Wanted, but this 5-part series still promises to showcase some five of the most dangerous crims on Earth—some still on the loose.

Project Power

Jamie Foxx stars alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback (The Hate U Give) in this Netflix action film from the directors of Nerve and Catfish. A mysterious pill sold by New Orleans drug dealers unlocks five minutes of superpowers unique to each user, which sounds really fun and big and clever—but for some reason, buzzkill goody-two-shoes Foxx and Gordon-Levitt team up to stop its spread.

Cobra Kai: Seasons 1-2

More info

Taking place 30 years after The Karate Kid, this sequel series follows a middle-aged Johnny Lawrence looking to clean up his act and revive the Cobra Kai dojo. However, this respectable restart doesn’t go down well with his old rival Daniel LaRusso… Both seasons initially streamed on YouTube, it seems Netflix has not only picked them up, but also plans a third season.

North Country

No, we’re not getting Mulan on the big screen as planned, but even though this isn’t exactly a family film, August is still a great time to check out Mulan director Niki Caro’s Hollywood debut off the back of Whale Rider. Charlize Theron was nominated for an Oscar, leading a ridiculously stacked cast (Frances McDormand, Sean Bean, Richard Jenkins, Michelle Monaghan, Jeremy Renner, Woody Harrelson, and Sissy Spacek) in this drama about the first major successful sexual harassment case in the United States.
