Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (August 25)

Get ready for the premieres of Netflix original titles ‘Killer Book Club’ and ‘You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.’

August is winding to a close, and with it, Netflix’s list of new titles for August 2023. The streamer has already stocked dozens of new TV series and movies this month, and after bringing subscribers several new titles throughout the week, Netflix will mark the final weekend of the month by dropping two all-new titles, both of which are Netflix originals.

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.

Their stalker threatens to publish on social networks a bloody horror novel based on them. With every chapter published, one of them will die.
