We’ll see quite a few series debuts in August including the brand new project from Matt Groening. If you’re looking for even more new series, we’ve got a special debut series article waiting for you here. As always, keep this page bookmarked as it’ll be updated right through the month of July.

Did you enjoy the anime movie ‘Your Name’? Then it’s likely Flavors of Youth will be right up your alley given it comes from the same studio. The new movie comes from CoMix Wave Films which has a history in fantastic anime movies and their next is coming exclusively to Netflix.

Disenchantment (Season 1)

Type: TV Series
Release Date: August 17th, 2018

Matt Groening’s first major Netflix project is scheduled for its spectacular debut in August 2018. We haven’t got a trailer yet but from its artwork, it looks to contain the same humor and same art style as his previous two projects The Simpsons and Futurama.


To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before 

Type: Movie
Release Date: August 17th, 2018

Netflix has had a string of big successes with its romantic comedies recently whether it be Set it Up or The Kissing Booth. This next movie adaptation from the 2014 novel and stars Lana Condor, Janel Parrish, Anna Cathcart and John Corbett. It’s about one girl who writes love letters to all of her past crushes but they get released and must confront her exes.


The Innocents (Season 1)

Type: TV Series
Release Date: August 24th, 2018

This supernatural series has been on our radar for most of 2018 and we still don’t quite fully know what the series is about or where it’s going to take us. What we do is know is that a young couple has escaped the confines of a prison and possess abilities and that they’re being hunted down. It looks like it’s going to be trippy at times but a rollercoaster we can’t wait to ride.


Ozark (Season 2)

Type: TV Series
Release Date: August 31st, 2018

Netflix’s highest ranked drama and our best series streaming on Netflix is back for its long-awaited second outing. Jason Batemans plays the convincing Marty Byrde who’s in charge of laundering millions of dollars or face disastrous consequences. From the multiple teasers we’ve had for season 2, we can see that the family is being hunted.
