Everything New on Netflix in August
As usual, it’s another packed month on Netflix in August. The biggest title might be Project Power, a new original movie (from the directors of Catfish?!?) that features Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and is set in a world where a drug can temporarily give you super power. If you want older movies you could check out Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or the original Jurassic Park trilogy. If you’ve got kids at home, you’ll be happy to hear they’ll have new episodes of Super Monsters and new movies from The Magic School Bus Rides Again and Octonauts. Netflix is also adding every season of The Legend of Korra and the first two seasons of Cobra Kai, which was previously a YouTube original. (Season 3 will premiere on Netflix at a later date.)
Here’s the full list of everything streaming on Netflix in August:
