Subscribers browsing through the Netflix streaming library are about to have a few more options to choose from. This week, the streamer is crossing even more titles off the August 2024 content list and bringing subscribers 15 new TV series, movies, and Netflix originals to watch!

In addition to two licensed films – Lisa Joy's 2021 feature directorial debut Reminiscence and the 2017 animated comedy The Emoji Movie – this week's roundup includes 13 new and returning Netflix originals. All-new to Netflix's lineup will be Secret World of Sound with David Attenborough and Blue Ribbon Baking Championship, as well as Love Is Blind: UK. This week's roundup also includes some returning favorites, like Gabby's Dollhouse, back for Season 10, and The Umbrella Academy, which will return for its fourth and final season.

You can watch all of these titles and more by signing up for one of the streamer's three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). 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. Keep scrolling to see everything set to be added to the streaming library this week, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that are set to leave before the end of the month!

A mysterious association known as The Keepers holds clandestine meetings believing the reality they're living in is a lie and a great reckoning is coming.
