Netflix’s content catalogue is continuing to expand! Now several weeks into August, the streaming giant is set to grow its content offerings by 19 new additions this week, all pulled straight from Netflix’s August 2022 content list. Of the more than a dozen new titles headed to the streaming library beginning Monday, all but one are Netflix original series and films.
This week’s new additions will give just about everyone something to look forward to. The week will begin with a new addition to the Untold library, a second part of the most recent season of the critically-acclaimed sports documentary. Subscribers will also get the chance to brush up on their history when History 101 returns to the streamer for its sophomore run. Meanwhile, Netflix is also giving reality TV fans plenty to get excited about, as the highly-anticipated Selling Sunset spinoff, Selling The OC, is set to debut on the platform this week.
