Everything to watch on Netflix in August, including the return of the streamer's most-watched programme ever
August is almost here, which means one last month of pub gardens, sunning your bare legs and evenings spent drinking vino in the park. But after all that partying and soaking up the sun, what could be better than relaxing on the sofa and sticking on a stellar TV series or film? Thankfully, Netflix has a bumper crop of new, bingeable shows to see us through. From a dreamy new romance by an icon of British TV to the return of Netflix's most-watched show to date, here are the films and programmes we're streaming in the month ahead. My Oxford Year (Release date: 1st August) Based on the bestselling novel by Julia Whelan, My Oxford Year is a sweeping romance about Anna (Sofia Carson), an American who gets the chance to study at, you guessed it, Oxford for a year. There, she meets the charming and clever professor Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), and the two begin a relationship that profoundly alters both their lives. There's a stellar team working on it, including BAFTA nominee Iain Morris, best known for working on comedy The Inbetweeners. 'Comedy is his language,' says lead actress Carson, 'so his vision of this film beautifully created a timeless, heartbreaking, sweeping romance, grounded in laughter.' Wednesday Season 2 (Release date: 6th August) Almost three years after the first season became Netflix's most-watched show ever, Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams prepares for another term at Nevermore Academy. This time, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, armed with her signature wit and deadpan charm. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Emma Myers and Hunter Doohan reprise their roles, and new cast additions include Billie Piper. Don't worry: Thing is back, too. Love Is Blind UK Season 2 (Release date: 13th August) Hosts Emma and Matt Willis are back for a second season of Love Is Blind UK, a less-conventional approach to modern love in which strangers date and hopefully get engaged without laying eyes on each other. Over several weeks, the new couples will move in together, plan their wedding and find out if their physical connection matches their emotional bond developed in the Pods. Will any of them make it to the altar and say 'I do'? Night Always Comes (Release date: 15th August) Thriller fans rejoice, as director Benjamin Caron returns with a visceral nail-biter starring Emmy and Oscar nominee Vanessa Kirby. The movie centres on the occasionally reckless Lynette (Kirby) over the course of one stressful evening as she tries to save her family's home before time runs out. 'What drew me to the film was its exploration of survival and sacrifice and the idea of quiet heroism,' Caron told Netflix. 'It asks the question, 'Who gets to feel safe, and at what cost?'' The Truth About Jussie Smollett (Release date: 22nd August) The team behind Don't F*** with Cats and Tinder Swindler return with this deep dive into Jussie Smollett, the Empire actor who claimed to have been a victim of a hate crime but was later accused of (and briefly jailed for) staging the attack. Featuring interviews with police, lawyers, journalists, investigators and Smollett himself, the 90-minute documentary lets the audience decide for themselves who's telling the truth, and whether Smollett is the criminal he was convicted of being. My Life With the Walter Boys (Release date: 28th August) Love The Summer I Turned Pretty? This Netflix original series follows another familial love triangle, as 15-year-old Manhattanite Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) learns to adapt to a new rural life with her guardian and eight rowdy boys. In the second series, Jackie returns to Colorado after a summer in New York, only to find that rekindling things with Alex (Ashby Gentry) and Cole (Noah LaLonde) won't be as easy as she'd imagined. The Thursday Murder Club (Release date: 28th August) It's finally arriving: the star-studded adaptation of Richard Osman's bestselling novel follows four irrepressible retirees – played by Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie – who solve cold case murders for fun. When an unexplained death occurs on their own doorstep, their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn as they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands.

Here's what's new on Netflix in August 2025: 12 best movies and shows to watch
It's officially the dog days of summer, so it's appropriate that one of the highlight titles coming to Netflix in August is about a pottymouthed animated canine. Fixed is one of two new adult cartoons on the slate, the second being the new series from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg. There are also two new true crime docs – although one might qualify as a 'true' crime doc – along with a comedy about true-crime obsession, plus political thrillers, crime thrillers, young-adult romcoms and 10-part documentary on the Dallas Cowboys. The biggest premiere, though? The release of the second season of the smash hit Addams Family spinoff, Wednesday. Man, Halloween comes earlier every year, doesn't it? My Oxford Year Netflix has really cornered the market on shows about young American women travelling to Europe to find love. In this one, a student at Oxford (Sofia Carson) falls for a handsome red flag (Corey Mylchreest). But what happens when it's time for her to return to New York? Tears, we assume. Premieres Aug 1 Wednesday season 2 Jenna Ortega returns as the sullen Goth teen turned amateur sleuth in the second season of the megahit Addams Family spinoff. The first batch drops in August, with the second half coming in September. The big question: will she dance again? Premieres Aug 6 Fixed An all-star comic voice cast, including Adam DeVine, Fred Armisen, Kathryn Hahn, Bobby Moynihan and Idris Elba, come together for Sony's first dalliance with 'adult animation', a raunchy comedy about a dog's last night out before getting neutered. The hand-drawn animation is very Ren and Stimpy -coded, so expect to spend a lot of time staring at the parts of the canine anatomy you usually try to avoid. Premieres Aug 13 Night Always Comes Fantastic Four 's Vanessa Kirby stars in this adaptation of author-musician Willy Vlautin's 2021 thriller novel. A young woman in Portland, Oregon, has only one night to raise $25,000 to save her mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) from eviction, forcing her deep into the city's seedy underbelly. Premieres Aug 15 America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys Never mind that they haven't been to a Super Bowl in almost 30 years, the Dallas Cowboys are still America's team, we swear! This 10-episode docuseries shows how they earned that title. Premieres Aug 19 Hostage A totally different kind of movie about heads of state than the one Prime recently gave us, in this European political thriller, the French President and the British Prime Minister are forced to put aside their political differences after the latter's husband is kidnapped – and the ransom is her resignation. Premieres Aug 21 Long Story Short A decade after BoJack Horseman, Raphael Bob-Waksberg returns to Netflix with another series using the language of cartoons to explore adult themes – in this case, bouncing across timelines to explore the relationship between three siblings and their parents. Abbi Jacobson, Dave Franco, Max Greenfield and Nicole Byer lend their voices. Premieres Aug 22 The Truth About Jussie Smollett? Remember Jussie Smollett? If you're a Fox News cultist, you're probably still obsessed with the actor's hate crime that wasn't, even though it seemingly took place two decades ago. (It was 2019.) The team behind The Tinder Swindler and Don't F**k with Cats put together this doc on the whole strange ordeal – which includes an interview with Smollett himself. Premieres Aug 22 My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 Call it Dawson's Ranch – or maybe Yellowstone Babies. After losing her parents in a car accident, a teenager from New York is taken in by a family in rural Colorado consisting of seven hunky sons (and one daughter). Season 2 looks to introduce even more hunks. Premieres Aug 28 The Thursday Murder Club Senior-citizen sleuths are so hot right now. Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are septuagenarians spending retirement solving cold cases. Meta-commentaries on culture's true-crime obsession are getting a bit, well, old, but you can't argue with that cast. Premieres Aug 28 Unknown Number: The High School Catfish Skye Borgman, director of standout Netflix true-crime docs Girl in the Picture and Abducted in Plain Sight, looks into another bizarre case, this time involving a teen couple besieged by harassing text messages from an unknown caller.

Netflix adds Inbetweeners writer's 'timeless' romance 'grounded in laughter' this week
The Netflix film is a must-watch for fans of romantic comedies. Netflix is set to drop a "timeless romance" that will be "grounded in laughter", and fans don't have long left to wait. My Oxford Year is a brand new romance which is directed by BAFTA nominee Iain Morris, known for his work on the Inbetweeners. Based on the novel by Julia Whelan, fans can expect to laugh and cry as it follows Anna (Sofia Carson), an ambitious young American woman who sets out for the UK. Fulfilling her childhood dream, Anna has her life on track, until she meets local Jamie (Corey Mylchreest) who completely changes both of their lives. A Netflix synopsis reads: "An ambitious American fulfilling her dream of studying at Oxford falls for a charming Brit hiding a secret that may upend her perfectly planned life." Star Sofia Carson, who is also executive producer for the film, has teased fans with what they can expect. She added: "Iain Morris wrote and created one of the most iconic shows in British television, The Inbetweeners. "Comedy is his language, so his vision of this film beautifully created a timeless, heartbreaking, sweeping romance, grounded in laughter. Within one scene you may fall madly in love, you may cry, but he will always make sure the joy of laughter is present." According to Netflix's Tudum, Carson knew she'd found the Jamie to her Anna from the start, admitting she watched Queen Charlotte in awe. The star said: "When it came time to cast Jamie, I always knew it would be Corey." Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte star Corey also teased fans with plenty of tears and laughter as he said: "You can expect some laughs, a lot of love, maybe some sadness, a couple of surprises along the way, but [you can expect] to meet two really lovely, very human characters and all of their amazing friends and family. Get ready for a lovely journey." As well as Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest (known for his role in Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte), fans will also see Dougray Scott (Hitman) as William Davenport and Catherine McCormack (Braveheart) as Antonia Davenport. Harry Trevaldwyn (How To Train Your Dragon) will also play Charlie Butler and Esmé Kingdom (Fallen) as Maggie Timbs. And fans cannot wait. Taking to social media, one person said: "Whoosh! Love it." Another added: "Can't wait to see my queen again." A third echoed: "So excited, can't wait." My Oxford Year is available to stream on Netflix on August 1.
