As a new month approaches, all the major players in the ongoing streaming wars are prepping to make some big moves in August. With July coming to a close, all the big-name streamers — Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Peacock, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+ —are getting ready to roll out their August 2021 content lists, meaning subscribers will be treated to a massive slate of new titles headed to their favorite streaming platforms.
Up first on the list is Netflix. Perhaps the biggest competition out there, the streamer is pulling all the punches in August by kicking off the month with some heavy hitters. After dropping titles like 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights on Aug. 1, the streamer will continue making big moves throughout the remainder of the month with additions including The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. However, Netflix isn’t the only streamer in the competition, and the relatively young platform HBO Max won’t be holding out in August. Along with the debut of sci-fi thriller Reminiscence and the addition of both adaptations of The Great Gatsby and the first three Jurassic Park films, HBO Max will also treat subscribers to Warner Bros. and DC’s The Suicide Squad. Hulu, meanwhile, will be joining in on the fun with additions like Reservation Dogs and the new season premieres of American Horror Story and Archer.

Of course, to enjoy the news titles to the fullest, you may want to consider signing up for a subscription. You can sign up for Disney+ here, Hulu by clicking here, and Peacock here. Most of these services offer a free trial period, including Netflix, which also offers a “Netflix Free Section.” Keep scrolling to see all of the titles headed to the streaming services in August 2021.
