Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (Aug. 9)

Six new and returning Netflix originals debut this weekend.

By Allison Schonter

Netflix may already boast an impressive catalog with hundreds of titles, but the streamer's offerings are about to grow. This weekend, Netflix is adding seven new titles to its streaming library, including new Netflix originals like Blue Ribbon Baking Championship, Inside the Mind of a Dog, Pokémon Horizons: The Series Part 3, and more. The new titles join other August additions like Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie and White Chicks.

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.
