August is not only the height of summer, it's also set be another big month of releases on Netflix, with brand new series and movies sitting alongside fresh additions to ongoing franchises.
One of the major highlights of the month is the anticipated fifth and final season of Outer Banks, which will see the Pogues at their lowest following the tragic loss of JJ (Rudy Pankow).
In terms of other returning shows, we've also got the second season of One Hundred Years of Solitude, the third season of My Life With the Walter Boys and we're back in the pods for another instalment of Love Is Blind: UK.
On the film front, we have Greta Lee and Wagner Moura leading thriller The Last House but documentaries are also where the streamer shines this month. Not only do we have Mo Gilligan's Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy, but this month marks the release of Mourinho, A Child of My Own and Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young.
There are plenty of other shows and films filling out Netflix's schedule, so scroll on to find out more about what's coming to Netflix in August 2026.
