Netflix is adding 29 new movies and shows this week
August might be almost over but that isn’t stopping Netflix from bringing a ton of new movies and shows to its lineup. Whether you’re looking for an animated version of a Netflix Original, a documentary on a famous artist, or a gender-swapped version of a very popular ’90s rom-com, the streaming service has something for everyone this week.
Have you been waiting impatiently for the next season of The Witcher? The wait just got a little easier. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf hits Netflix on Monday, Aug. 23. It’s an animated version of the popular show, but this time it takes place years before Geralt was a witcher.
It follows the story of his mentor, Vesemir. He’s a young witcher who escaped poverty by slaying monsters for money. But there seems to be a new monster in town and one that might be too much for even him.
Check out the trailer here:
More in the mood for a documentary? Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal, and Greed hits Netflix on Wednesday, Aug. 25. The documentary discusses the life of the legendary painter and instructor, Bob Ross and what happened after he passed. It wasn’t all happy trees and rainbows behind the scenes.
There was a battle for his business empire between his children, his friends, and his business partners and it wasn’t pretty. But don’t worry, Bob Ross fans, in an interview with Vanity Fair, the director has reassured everyone that the legacy of the man himself will not be tarnished.

If you’re more in the mood for a rom-com, you’re in luck because He’s All That comes to Netflix on Friday, Aug. 27. This film takes the premise of the 1999 film, She’s All That, and flips the roles. In this version, the girl is the popular one and the guy is the outcast that she tries to makeover to be prom king.
Rachael Leigh Cook and Matthew Lillard are two of the cast members from the original that make an appearance in this remake.
