As July comes to a close and August begins, Netflix is freshening up its content catalog with a host of new additions. This weekend, the streaming giant will be adding the final titles from its July 2021 content list and also stocking the first additions from its August 2021 list, meaning subscribers will be treated to dozens of new additions.
In total, this weekend will see 35 new additions finding their way to the streaming library. While these additions include plenty of originals, like The Last Mercenary and the second season of hit series Outer Banks, they also include a hefty amount of licensed titles. In fact, as the streamer segues into its August content on Sunday, it will be treating subscribers exclusively to licensed content. Some of those titles include the popular series 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights, The Edge of Seventeen, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and many more. You can see the full list of August 2021 titles by clicking here.

‘The Last Mercenary’
Jean-Claude Van Damme returns in his first on-screen leading role since 2019’s We Die Young in Friday, July 30’s The Last Mercenary. Written and directed by David Charhon, the film stars Van Damme as Richard Brumere, a former French secret service special agent turned mercenary who finds himself forced out of hiding after the immunity he was granted 25 years earlier for his son Archibald is lifted. As a mob operation threatens Archibald’s life, Richard must reach out to his old contacts and join forces with a bunch of reckless youngsters from the projects and an offbeat bureaucrat to save Archibald. Along with Van Damme, The Last Mercenary also stars Alban Ivanov, Samir Decazza, Archibald Al Mahmoud, Assa Sylla, Djimo, Patrick Timsit, Éric Judor, Nassim Lyes, Miou-Miou, and Valérie Kaprisky.
‘Myth & Mogul: John DeLorean’
Netflix is exploring the rise and fall of automotive icon John Delorean in its new docuseries Myth & Mogul: John DeLorean. The three-part series chronicles DeLorean’s rise to fame in the automotive industry and his subsequent legal troubles and bankruptcy issues that made him, “the poster boy of late ’70s corporate greed.” The docuseries features exclusive access and interviews with never before seen footage shot by Oscar winning director D.A Pennebaker. Myth & Mogul: John DeLorean will be available for streaming on Friday.
‘Outer Banks: Season 2’
Netflix is taking subscribers back to the Outer Banks. On Friday, the streamer is officially stocking the second season of its hit young adult series Outer Banks. Created and executive produced by Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke, the series is a coming-of-age story that follows the “Pogues,” a tight-knit group of teens who live in the Outer Banks. After a hurricane kills the power for the summer season, a chain of illicit events is set off that takes them on an adventure they will never forget, forcing them to make life-altering decisions. The search for their ringleader’s missing father, forbidden romances, a high-stakes treasure hunt, and the escalating conflict between the Pogues and their rivals turn their summer into one filled with mystery and adventure. In Season 2, the crew will be tested like never before.
