Netflix has announced the new movies and TV shows arriving in August 2024. While it's not a huge month for Netflix original movies, there are a few big shows coming to the popular streaming service this month that you won't want to miss.
The biggest series returning this month is "Emily in Paris." While the French might wish Emily would go away, there's no denying the show's popularity. Part 1 of season 4 drops in the middle of August. Not too far behind in popularity though, is "The Umbrella Academy." The comic arrives for its fourth and final season and I for one, am awaiting its bittersweet arrival on August 8.
These are just a few of the new additions to Netflix over the next few weeks, and to make sure you don’t miss any fresh arrivals we’ve got the full slate down below. Plus, we have a roundup of what’s leaving Netflix in August, to give you a last chance to watch. Here's everything coming to — and leaving — Netflix this month.
New on Netflix in August 2024: Top picks
'Unstable' season 2
Who doesn't love a good workplace comedy? Set at the fictional biotech company Dragon, "Unstable" stars real-life father-son duo Rob and John Owen Lowe as Ellis and Jackson Dragon. Ellis is the beloved but narcissistic genius behind the company and Jackson ... well, Jackson just wants to play the flute. But Dragon's CFO Anna (Sian Clifford) convinces Jackson to join Dragon to stop his father from becoming unstable.
In season 2, Ellis lays out a series of challenges and mind games for Jackson to see if he is worthy of taking over Dragon. However, this process reveals that there may be another contender more worthy of the throne.
Stream on Netflix starting August 1
'Rebel Moon — Part One: Director's Cut' & 'Rebel Moon — Part Two: Director's Cut'
The Rebel Moon saga takes place in a fictional galaxy ruled by the Motherworld Imperium. Both "Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire" and "Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver" focus on the backwater planet of Veldt, which finds itself needing to fight off the Imperium military to protect their planet from extermination.
Now, Netflix is releasing "Rebel Moon — Part One: Director's Cut" (subtitled "Chalice of Blood) and "Rebel Moon — Part Two: Director's Cut" (subtitled "Curse of Forgiveness"). These director's cuts make turn the original movies into a "bigger, bloodier cut," so don't miss them if you're a fan of director Zack Snyder.
Stream both movies on Netflix from August 2
'The Umbrella Academy' season 4
"The Umbrella Academy" follows the story of the Hargreeves siblings — seven children adopted by the eccentric Sir Reginald Hargreeves as part of a plan to save the world. They've stopped the apocalypse from occurring several times at this point, but season 4 looks set to have them needing to save the world one last time after the fight at Hotel Oblivion led to a complete reset of their timeline.
If you love a comic book adaptation, a crazy multiversal story, or both, then you won't want to miss out on the final season of this hit Netflix series. In addition to the main cast, which includes Elliot Page and Tom Hopper, this season will also feature appearances from real-life couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally as Dr. Gene and Jane Thibedeau and David Cross as Sy Grossman.
Stream on Netflix from August 8
'Emily in Paris' season 4: Part 1
Starring Lily Collins, "Emily in Paris" follows the titular Emily Cooper as she moves to Paris for a new opportunity. By season four though, she's now established in her Parisian life ... though admittedly adjusting to its challenges.
If you were a fan of "Sex and the City," then this Netflix original from the former's creator Darren Star is a must-watch. While critical response has been mixed and the French aren't too thrilled with it, the show does get recognition come awards season. Plus, it's got plenty of drama, from work screw-ups to scandalous love triangles.
Stream on Netflix from August 15
'Monsieur Spade' season 1
"Monsieur Spade" was one of my favorite shows at the beginning of the year. And while other shows have since surpassed it, it's definitely still high up on my list. It's also been the best detective show of the year by far, which is impressive given that there have been quite a few this year.
Starring Clive Owen as the legendary fictional detective Sam Spade, this AMC drama follows the American private eye years after the events of "The Maltese Falcon." Spade has settled into a quiet life in the French countryside, however, it turns out the quiet little town of Bozouls is anything but. There's murder, there's intrigue, there's witty, biting dialogue — it's everything you could want from a detective show.
Stream on Netflix from August 19
'Terminator Zero'
When I tell you I cannot wait for this show, I mean it. I don't typically go for anime shows (not that I'm inherently opposed) but sometimes one looks so good that I can't help but get excited. "Terminator Zero" is definitely one of those shows.
For those not familiar with the original "Terminator" movie, this story takes place in a world where the AI Skynet takes over the world and sends out robot assassins named Terminators to eliminate potential threats — in the past or present. "Terminator Zero" is set in 1997 Japan before the events of Judgement Day and stars Timothy Olyphant as the murderous cybernetic assassin tasked with taking out scientist Malcolm Lee (André Holland) before Lee can bring harm to Skynet.
