Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (Aug. 2)

Five new Netflix original series and films premiere this weekend.

By Allison Schonter

August is officially here, and Netflix isn't wasting anytime crossing titles off its August 2024 content list. After kicking the month off with everything from A Good Girl's Guide to Murder to Unstable Season 2 earlier this week, the streamer is set to stock five new titles this weekend, including the director's cuts for both of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon films, a new Netflix original comedy special from Joe Rogan, and Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie.

Netflix offers 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 coming to Netflix this weekend, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.

In Snyder's director's cut, a peaceful settlement on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, and Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Motherworld, Kora assembles a small band of warriors – outsiders, insurgents, peasants, and orphans of war who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a new army of heroes is formed."
