As we enter the dog days of summer, Netflix’s August slate of movies is giving us something to look forward to. This month, the platform is dropping dozens of new films, including some great originals like the romance My Oxford Year, starring Sofia Carson, and the ensemble mystery The Thursday Murder Club.
The streamer is also premiering a few exciting new documentaries this month, including The Truth About Jussie Smollett?, in which the actor speaks out about the assault he’s accused of staging and reporting as a hate crime, and another compelling real-life story, Stolen: Heist of the Century, about the 2003 Antwerp theft of over $100 million in jewels.
These originals, along with loads of library titles such as The Fast and the Furious, the Rush Hour trilogy and Despicable Me 1 and 2 are among the best new titles coming to Netflix this August.
