Netflix has announced the new movies and TV shows arriving in August 2024. While it's not a huge month for Netflix original movies, there are a few big shows coming to the popular streaming service this month that you won't want to miss.
The biggest series returning this month is "Emily in Paris." While the French might wish Emily would go away, there's no denying the show's popularity. Part 1 of season 4 drops in the middle of August. Not too far behind in popularity though, is "The Umbrella Academy." The comic arrives for its fourth and final season and I for one, am awaiting its bittersweet arrival on August 8.
Who doesn't love a good workplace comedy? Set at the fictional biotech company Dragon, "Unstable" stars real-life father-son duo Rob and John Owen Lowe as Ellis and Jackson Dragon. Ellis is the beloved but narcissistic genius behind the company and Jackson ... well, Jackson just wants to play the flute. But Dragon's CFO Anna (Sian Clifford) convinces Jackson to join Dragon to stop his father from becoming unstable.
In season 2, Ellis lays out a series of challenges and mind games for Jackson to see if he is worthy of taking over Dragon. However, this process reveals that there may be another contender more worthy of the throne.
If you love a comic book adaptation, a crazy multiversal story, or both, then you won't want to miss out on the final season of this hit Netflix series. In addition to the main cast, which includes Elliot Page and Tom Hopper, this season will also feature appearances from real-life couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally as Dr. Gene and Jane Thibedeau and David Cross as Sy Grossman.
Starring Lily Collins, "Emily in Paris" follows the titular Emily Cooper as she moves to Paris for a new opportunity. By season four though, she's now established in her Parisian life ... though admittedly adjusting to its challenges.
If you were a fan of "Sex and the City," then this Netflix original from the former's creator Darren Star is a must-watch. While critical response has been mixed and the French aren't too thrilled with it, the show does get recognition come awards season. Plus, it's got plenty of drama, from work screw-ups to scandalous love triangles.
"Monsieur Spade" was one of my favorite shows at the beginning of the year. And while other shows have since surpassed it, it's definitely still high up on my list. It's also been the best detective show of the year by far, which is impressive given that there have been quite a few this year.
When I tell you I cannot wait for this show, I mean it. I don't typically go for anime shows (not that I'm inherently opposed) but sometimes one looks so good that I can't help but get excited. "Terminator Zero" is definitely one of those shows.
