Netflix always has just what you need when you're looking for something to watch. This month, the streaming giant has released and will be releasing many new unscripted titles on its platform. We're talking true crime documentaries, music docuseries, and all kinds of competition reality shows.
If you're looking for something interesting to watch, then you must check out our list below of the seven best new unscripted titles on Netflix in August 2024. We thought we'd kick off the list with the brand new Korean competition reality series, The Influencer, which premiered on Netflix on Aug. 6.
The Influencer
In The Influencer, we watch as 77 of Korea's most popular influencers compete in various challenges to determine who has the biggest influence. The last influencer standing is crowned the ultimate influencer and is given a grand prize of 300 million won. The contestants include RISABAE, PaniBottle, Shim Euddeum, Jang Keun-suk, Sia_jiwoo, KEJIMIN, and many others.
Love Is Blind: UK
Serving as a spinoff to Love is Blind, Love is Blind: UK follows a group of lucky singles all living in the United Kingdom who decide to participate in an unconventional social experiment hoping to find love.
Starting off in soundproof pods, the singles try to find their match sight unseen. After making a romantic connection, a couple has the opportunity to propose where they get to see each other for the first time. Following the proposal, the couple then goes on their honeymoon before returning to the real world to prepare for their nuptials. It's when they enter back into the real world that things get serious.
Episodes 1-9 are already streaming on Netflix. The final batch of episodes (episodes 10-11) will be available to stream on Aug. 21.
