Summer break is nearly over and the kids will be heading back to school in no time. In August, Netflix is focusing on “Good vs. Evil” in more ways than one. Some are pretty straightforward, such as Marvel’s The Defenders on August 18th, or Death Note on August 25th. Some are a bit more abstract, but should still provide some quality entertainment on the days when it’s just too hot to go outside. Keep reading for a rundown of what’s coming and going on our new on Netflix August lists for the US and Canada.
As a reminder shows that are coming to the U.S. only will be marked with (US), and likewise for shows coming to Canada (CA) only. If a show or movie isn’t marked with either US or CA, it will be coming to both services. Netflix has been kind enough to indicate which shows are available to view offline as well, which we’ve indicated by marking them with ⇓ after the title.
Before we get started, check out the Netflix August sizzle reel for the U.S.:
…and Canada.
Without further ado, check out what’s coming to Netflix U.S. and Netflix Canada in August.
