A new month is here, and as August gets underway, Netflix is hard at work stocking its library with fresh titles from its August 2022 content list. Released as the streamer made the final additions of July, August’s list includes dozens of incoming titles, and subscribers will get a glimpse at what’s up the streamer’s sleeve as 49 new titles arrive this week.
Netflix wasted no time in getting the events kicked off, with 33 titles alone dropping in the library on Monday, including fan-favorites like 8 Mile, Bridget Jones’s Diary, and several Spider-Man movies. But August isn’t just about licensed titles, because this week alone, 14 Netflix original series, films, and specials are dropping. Those original titles include everything from a new Netflix comedy special, Ricardo Quevedo: Tomorrow Will Be Worse, to the debut of the streamer’s highly-anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, along with several others.

What’s leaving this week?
Netflix thankfully won’t be souring the influx of new additions with a slew of exits. Instead, the streamer is opting to only say goodbye to two titles this week, with They’ve Gotta Have Us: Season 1 departing on Thursday followed by Screwball on Friday. But with August having only just began, there are still dozens of titles slated to depart by the end of the month, which means subscribers may want to consider fitting in a final viewing before they disappear for good.
