What's New on Netflix, and What's Leaving in August 2020

Netflix is adding plenty of new streaming options this month for subscribers. From award-winning original series to popular movies, Netflix has a long list of films and TV shows joining its lineup. Read on for highlights from August’s new arrivals on Netflix, as well as complete lists of what’s coming to the streaming service and what’s leaving.

August is traditionally a slow period for TV series and movies and, even with the strangeness of 2020, Netflix isn’t exactly bucking that trend. Some cult classics like A Knight’s Tale and The Addams Family will hit the streamer, as well as award-winning favorites like Jurassic Park and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Also, there are new seasons of Netflix Original Lucifer, Brazilian dystopian thriller 3%, and a new Netflix Original blockbuster starring Jamie Foxx, Project Power. The streamer is also adding both seasons of YouTube Red’s quirky but popular Karate Kid spinoff Cobra Kai.

Our top picks for August

Project Power

In July, Netflix released The Old Guard, a superhero film with a twist starring Charlize Theron. On August 14, they’re releasing Project Power, another superhero film with a twist. Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star in this blockbuster-looking Netflix Original about a former soldier who teams up with a cop to investigate a dangerous pill that gives people superpowers for five minutes at a time. It looks a little like a PG-13 version of Amazon’s The Boys, with a ton of action, some provocative themes, and creative takes on the superhero and buddy cop genres.

Hoops

Netflix adds to its extensive repertoire of adult animation with this new sitcom from Ben Hoffman, set to release on August 21, 2020. Jake Johnson voices a foul-mouthed high school basketball coach who is convinced he’ll score a big-time job if he can turn his terrible new team around. He’s not as good as he thinks he is.
