It’s still cold outside, so we’re spending more time cozying up indoors. That means more time for catching up on Netflix! We’ve figured out efficient ways to binge watch television shows — now all that’s left is figuring out what to watch.
Note: This list refers to the US version of Netflix. It has a different library to Australia which changes from month to month. This information is only relevant to readers who access US Netflix using a VPN.
The Highlights
Netflix is surfing a wave of nostalgia come August 1, with classics (well, for some of us) like Innerspace and The Addams Family. You can also marathon all three Matrix movies or just watch the first one and pretend the rest never happened. On August 5, Holes (starring Shia LaBeouf) will also come to Netflix.
If you’re looking for a revival of something that was already revived, get ready for season 1 of Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, coming on August 4 as a sequel to the 2001 film, Wet Hot American Summer (and the 2015 Netflix prequel series: Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp). Netflix is also releasing its live-action version of Death Note, based on the popular anime series. For the superhero fans, Marvel’s The Defenders debuts on August 18.
For a laugh, watch Maz Jobrani’s standup special Immigrant, about modern-day parenting and being an immigrant during the Trump administration. There’s also a series featuring country music star turned standup comedian Brad Paisley (yes, he’s really a comedian now), aptly named Brad Paisley’s Comedy Rodeo, which includes appearances from David Hasselhoff and Reba McEntire. On August 22, Lynne Koplitz’s Hormonal Beast will debut.
Before the month ends, be sure to watch The League for the last time: seasons 1-7 will be pulled on August 30. Other notable shows and movies leaving are 10 Things I Hate About You, Superbad, seasons 1-4 of American Dad!, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and seasons 1-4 of Revenge.
