Long gone are the days when August meant another month of reurns while networks waited until September to bring forth new shows and premieres. Instead, a new month heralds more content coming to your favorite streaming services (and a few titles that are leaving).Disney+andHuluare welcoming a slew of titles, including recent theatrical releases, old movies, long-running reality shows, and some much-anticipated original stories. Sure, the list might not be as long and compelling as some other months during the year, but there is plenty worth checking out and investing in throughout August.
Here’s everything coming to Disney+ and Hulu in August, including some titles you don’t want to miss.
What’s new on Netflix in August 2024 (and what’s leaving)?
August will bring the much-anticipated final season of the Umbrella Academy as well as a new SpongeBob movie to Netflix.
Only Murders in the Building
The fourth season of the wildly popular and continuously clever dark comedy Only Murders in the Buildings is making its exciting return at the end of the month. On the heels of a bunch of Emmy nominations, the show finds our trio of amateur detectives (Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selene Gomez) taking to Hollywood while investigating the murder of Sazz (Jane Lynch). This season looks stacked with famous faces and guest actors and will surely pile on the twists and turns. This season comes with a lot of anticipation, but also a lot of pressure to continue to balance the unique blend of charm, absurdity, and pathos that makes this show so compelling.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
Early in the month, you’re able to check out the latest installment in the Planet of the Apes franchise. With “Kingdom,” the filmmakers attempt to restart a new trilogy, jumping ahead quite a bit in time and introducing viewers to a whole new cast of characters, both human and simian. Expect plenty of action, not-so-subtle parallels to modern day society, and animals that look realistic in a way that might be unsettling to some viewers. I’m all in!
Are You Sure!?
Are You Sure?!
BTS members Jimin and Jung Kook get together for this cute and charming docuseries that basically sees them go on adventures and have fun together. Before they enlist in mandatory military service, the two young men take a trip that looks genuinely wholesome and surely entertaining. I don’t know exactly how serious this weekly series will get, and I’m fine with that. A trailer suggests it is going to be a fun lark with lots of male bonding and dedicated friendship, which I think it worth seeing a lot more of on TV.
