Over the past few months, Netflix’s original programming hasn’t really brought much to the table. There was a new season of Orange Is The New Black, a few schlocky thrillers and a handful of comedies – but that was about it.
All that is set to change this month, with a whopping 47 original TV shows and movies coming to the service. Here’s the full list!
If you’ve been unimpressed by the dearth of Netflix Originals lately, the streaming giant is looking to make it up to you. Below you’ll find all the new series, movies, kid’s TV and documentaries that will be appearing in August 2018. (In short, all is forgiven!)
