Full list of new Netflix shows and movies coming in August 2026

We're nearing the end of summer, which should come as some relief to those of us who have had enough of the extreme heat. But there's still a reprieve on the way in August thanks to the long list of Netflix new releases coming throughout the month to keep us cooled down while in doors. Between new Netflix originals and acquired titles, there's something to watch for everyone.

Some of the most highly anticipated Netflix shows of the year are finally returning with new seasons, including the hit sitcom Leanne. From Chuck Lorre, the comedy starring comedian Leanne Morgan is back for season 2, bringing the laughs we need this summer. Additionally, the Pogues make their comeback one last time with the fifth and final season of Outer Banks, the beloved teen drama My Life with the Walter Boys and Shane Gillis' comedy Tires both debut their third seasons.

On the movie front, Netflix also premieres the star-studded crime thriller The Whisper Man, which stars Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan, and Adam Scott. The film is based on the book of the same name by Alex North, which follows a writer teaming up with his detective father to find his son, a kidnapping that might be connected to an imprisoned serial killer known as the Whisper Man.

But it's not just about the new original titles that are releasing on Netflix in August 2026. The month also brings a lot of exciting acquired content, like the Fast and Furious movies, the hit Fox medical drama Best Medicine, all seven seasons of the procedural favorite SEAL Team, horror hit M3GAN, and the complete series of HBO Max's underrated comedy The Sex Lives of College Girls.

There's lots more to look forward to on Netflix in August, other hidden gems dropping each week of the month and surely set to make an impact on the Top 10. Looking for your next movie night picks and shows to binge-watch? We're sharing everything coming to Netflix in August!
