A new month means a new slew of movies and shows are added to Netflix -- and many are taken away. The full list of titles arriving in August is below, but first, let's look at the most intriguing programming hitting the streaming service this month. And remember: You can download them now!
Jackie Brown (available 8/1)
For all their blood, guts, and mayhem, the best Quentin Tarantino movies are love stories. Functioning as both a savvy blaxploitation riff and a tender tribute to QT’s literary hero Elmore Leonard, Jackie Brown follows Pam Grier’s flight attendant title character and a weary bondsman (Robert Forster), as they slowly fall for each other while outsmarting an endless barrage of con men, wise guys, and dumbasses. And, damn, is there a movie with a better final shot?
Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later (available 8/4)
The follow-up to the follow-up to 2001's Wet Hot American Summer drops at the beginning of August, with most of the original cast returning. If the success of Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp can be replicated, you're in for a worthy binge during the dog days.
Atypical: Season 1 (available 8/11)
An 18-year-old on the autism spectrum (It Follows' Keir Gilchrist) wants a girlfriend and more independence, but his mother seems reticent. Family awkwardness seems bound to ensue.
Marvel's The Defenders: Season 1 (available 8/18)
What happens when you put Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and the Iron Fist in the same TV show? This new Netflix original show, which has been in the works for several years as the heroes have had their own series rolled out.
What Happened to Monday? (available 8/18)
Netflix continues to flex its muscles in the big-budget blockbuster arena, unveiling this dystopian future thriller starring Willem Dafoe, Glenn Close, and Noomi Rapace. Rapace plays septuplets (seriously!) living in a world that forbids families from having more than one child, so each of the septuplets can only go outside one day of the week. When "Monday" disappears, well, you get the title of the movie.
Death Note (available 8/25)
This feature-length adaptation of the popular Japanese manga shows what happens when an angry (and dumb!) high schooler finds a magical notebook.
