As ever, Netflix contains multitudes. That’s on full display in its lineup of August offerings, which range from comforting romantic comedies to potentially controversial docudramas.
On the cozy front, there is more Heartstopper, a charming coming-of-age series centered on two British teens who find love at their all-boys school, as well as rom-com standards like Nancy Meyers’ It’s Complicated and ABC’s Ugly Betty. As for that promised controversy, at the beginning of the month, Netflix is releasing a new installment of its Untold series featuring often incendiary viral internet star Jake Paul. A few weeks later, a three-part docuseries titled Depp v Heard, centered on the contentious Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial of 2022, enters the world. Described by Netflix as “the world’s first trial by TikTok,” the project plans to confront “the nature of truth and the role it plays in our modern society.”
Falling somewhere within this chaos is a second season of reality-TV dating series The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, the migration of HBO’s Ballers amidst cost-cutting at Warner Bros. Discovery, and some Adam Sandler shenanigans in the form of a movie called You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.
Here’s what else is coming to Netflix in August:
Still on a high from all the Barbie buzz? That fervor can be fed with the arrival of all four seasons of Ugly Betty, starring Barbieland standout America Ferrera. Inspired by that epic monologue her character Gloria delivers in Barbie? There are many more empowering speeches where that came from, and a lot more heart than one would expect from a series with the tagline, “From Poncho to Honcho.”
The swoonworthy meet-cute of Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor), classmates at a British all-boys school, has turned into something more. “With exams, a school trip to Paris and prom on the horizon, Nick, Charlie and the gang must navigate the next stages of life, love and friendship,” Netflix teases about season 2 of the series, which is based on Alice Oseman’s self-published webcomic turned New York Times best-selling graphic novel series. “I think one of the reasons why people are really enjoying Heartstopper is because it feels quite real, although it is very sort of rose-tinted and focuses on love and joy and happiness,” Oseman told Vanity Fair last year. “It makes the positive parts feel real, and it shows that they can be real.”
This docuseries will revisit and further delve into “the role the irrepressible women of hip hop played throughout the revolutionary genre’s 50 years,” according to Netflix. Each of the four episodes will center on different female artists in this space—from Queen Latifah and MC Lyte to Latto and Tierra Whack.
This thriller directed by Peaky Blinders alum Tom Harper, and written by Hidden Figures co-scribe Alison Scaroeder and legendary DC and Marvel comics creator Greg Rucka, stars Gal Gadot as international spy Rachel Stone. Teaming up with lead M16 agent Parker (Jamie Dornan), the pair will embark on a mission to secure a mechanical treasure called “the heart” against global threats.
