New Netflix Original Content Coming in August 2020

Netflix may still be rolling out new titles for the month of July, but the streamer is already preparing to kick off August in a big way. On Wednesday, the streaming giant unveiled its full list of August 2020 titles, a list that includes a whopping 61 Netflix original series, films, and specials.

Set to begin dropping in the streaming library on Saturday, Aug. 1, the dozens of new additions contain a little bit of everything, meaning the month of August will be filled with plenty of binge watches. Among the new additions is the highly anticipated fifth season premiere of the devilishly good Lucifer as well as the third and final season of Danish apocalyptic drama The Rain. The new month will also bring about a slate of new docuseries, including enough true crime to keep subscribers entertained throughout the month, new reality series, and, of course, a few additions for even the youngest of viewers.

Keep scrolling to see every Netflix original that will be added to the streaming library in August, and don’t forget to take a look at the titles leaving the streaming giant next month.
