We may have reached the midway point of August, but Netflix isn’t taking any breaks when it comes to delivering new content. This week, the streaming giant is adding 15 new titles to its streaming library, and 11 of them are Netflix original series, films, and documentaries.
This week will be a big one for the streamer, which is set to drop some hotly-anticipated titles, including Depp V Heard. From director Emma Cooper, the docuseries chronicles the highly publicized defamation trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, featuring testimonies side-by-side for the first time and exploring “the trial that set Hollywood ablaze and the online fallout that ensued.” On the documentary front, Netflix will also drop the latest episode of Untold, with this week’s edition centering on Victor Conte’s. Reality TV lovers can binge the new series At Home With The Furys, while Netflix will also be serving up some laughs with the new comedy special Jared Freid: 37 and Single.

The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan.
