Everything Coming To Stan, Foxtel And Amazon This August

From TV drama to documentaries, original films to stand-up comedy, Australia’s streaming services are getting new content added all the time. Read on to see all the content that will be added to Stan, Foxtel and Amazon Prime Video’s libraries in August.

Stan

This month has some great watching on Stan, with the return of Better Call Saul, a brand new take on the classic Get Shorty with comedy faves Chris O’Dowd and Ray Romano, and Sacha Baron Cohen returns for the shocking Who Is America leading up to the finale this August.

Who Is America?


Famous for creating a roster of iconic moments and incendiary characters, Baron Cohen returns to series television for the first time in more than a decade, writing and directing WHO IS AMERICA? In the works over the past year, the seven-episode series will explore the diverse individuals, from the infamous to the unknown across the political and cultural spectrum, who populate the unique nation.

    Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan (31 August)


    This explosive, globetrotting thriller finds Marine-turned-rookie CIA analyst Jack Ryan (John Krasinski) sitting behind a desk, scrutinising suspicious financial transactions. Following the money leads, Jack and his boss James Greer (Wendell Pierce) to Mousa Bin Suleiman (Ali Suliman), the Syrian-based terrorist mastermind behind a horrific attack in Paris. With assistance from government epidemiologist Dr. Cathy Mueller (Abbie Cornish) and Suleiman’s wife Hanin (Dina Shihabi), Jack becomes an unexpected hero as he races to stop the extremist from unleashing an insidious assault on U.S. soil. An action-packed thrill-ride told in eight heart-stopping episodes, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is an up-to-the minute reimagining of the iconic American hero’s first foray as a CIA operative.
