The Netflix library is about to get a little bit fuller as the streaming giant welcomes in a new week of August. Beginning on Monday, the streamer will be dropping a total of 19 new additions. The new additions, which will only come at the expense of three titles leaving the platform, will continue to be added through Friday, with Netflix gearing up to add a fresh slate of titles this weekend as well.
Of the new additions, 11 are brand new Netflix original series, films, and specials, falling in line with previous reports that the streamer was expected to spend more than $17 billion on original content in 2020. Among these new additions is a comedy crossover event that is sure to be one for the ages as Netflix brings together stars from four of its most beloved comedy series. The streamer will truly be bringing on the laughs this week, as it is also dropping a new comedy special. Along with a few additions for the youngest viewers, Netflix subscribers will also be treated to the fourth and final season of one fan-favorite Portuguese-language sci-fi dystopian series.
