We have highlighted just a few of the titles coming to Netflix below but keep scrolling down for a comprehensive list of other releases.

3rd August

Clusterf**k: Woodstock ’99

Woodstock 1969 offered a celebration of peace and love but its 1999 revival delivered something far different as it degenerated into riots, fires, and destruction. But how did this happen? Using eye-witness testimony and insider footage, this docuseries will reveal the reasons why the revived festival descended into chaos.

Tom Dey (Shanghai Noon) directs this new romantic comedy about two Indian-Americans who pretend to hook up during ‘wedding season’ to get their parents off their backs.

5th August

The Sandman: Season 1

This adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s comic series has been long-awaited so here’s hoping it’s worthy of the source material. It centres on the titular Sandman, the King of Dreams, who escapes from captivity and sets out to restore order to the dreaming and waking worlds. Tom Sturridge takes the lead role and he is joined by Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar and Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death.

Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (2022)

To date, the movies featuring the ‘turtles in a half shell’ have been pretty poor so here’s hoping this animated feature film is better than what has come before. This one takes place two years after Shredder’s defeat and follows Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey as they try to save the world from a terrifying alien species known as the Krang.

Carter (2022)

In 2011, the girlfriend of Hawaiian football player Manti Te’o tragically died in a car accident. Or did she? As it turns out, she didn’t really exist and the person that Te’o thought he had been talking to online was in fact a catfish by the name of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. This documentary takes a deep dive into the story and the sophisticated hoax that fooled both Te’o and his many fans.

17th August

Which life will she find the most fulfilling? You will find out for yourself if you watch this romantic drama on Netflix, unless, of course, you are living in a reality where you didn’t pay your monthly subscription fee!

18th August

Inside The Mind Of A Cat

What is going on inside the mind of your cat? This is a question you probably ask yourself when you catch your kitty staring at you from the other end of the sofa. Could he be plotting something terrible against you? Or is he just waiting for you to put down the TV remote and show him some love? Who knows, but if you want to get a better understanding of your feline friend, you might want to catch this captivating and cuddly documentary.

19th August

The Next 365 Days (2022)

The third and final movie of the sexually-charged 365 Days trilogy about a woman who falls in love with her abductor. The critics weren’t kind about the other movies in this series due to the bad acting, humourless writing, and absurd storylines. But if you’re invested in Laura and Massimo’s unusual relationship, you probably won’t care what the critics have to say as you will be keen to know how their story ends.

Echoes (Limited series)

Michelle Monaghan takes on the dual roles of identical twin sisters Leni and Gena, two women who agreed as children to switch between identities and one another’s lives. As adults, the two women share homes, husbands, and a child, but when one of them goes missing, everything in their perfectly schemed life is thrown into chaos.

The Girl In The Mirror: Season 1

After surviving a bus crash that killed her classmates, Alma wakes up in hospital with no memory of her past or that tragic incident.

20th August

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Revenge of Scar (2022)

In this sequel to a 2017 film, the Elric brothers face their toughest opponent yet – a lone serial killer with a scar on his forehead.

22nd August

The Virtuoso (2021)

Anthony Hopkins, Anson Mount, and Abbie Cornish star in this thriller about a professional assassin who is sent by his mysterious boss to a small diner, where he needs to figure out his target’s identity. Sadly, despite the intriguing premise, this thriller was not a big hit with the critics.

24th August

Running With The Devil: The Wild World Of John Macafee

If your computer is free of viruses, you probably have anti-virus software creator John MacAfee to thank for that. But what about the tech guru himself? His life was a bit of a crazy one as you will understand if you watch this documentary about the late maverick. He went on the run following the death of his neighbour in Belize and after the authorities caught up with him, he was arrested and imprisoned on tax evasion charges. He was later found dead, presumably through suicide, but his wife doesn’t believe he took his own life. To learn more about the man who (according to Netflix) “hacked the world,” you should check out this in-depth look at the pioneering inventor.

26th August

Me Time (2022)

We all need a little me time, right? Stay-at-home dad Sonny (Kevin Hart) certainly does but when he gets the chance to do his own thing when his wife and kids are away, his life spirals out of control when he reconnects with his former best friend (Mark Wahlberg) for a wild weekend.

31st August
