It’s safe to say that Netflix has a jam-packed slate ahead for August, from must-see movies to binge-worthy TV shows. There are plenty of new Netflix Originals coming our way, for starters – Vivo, a family animation from Lin-Manuel Miranda, is kicking things off this month, and it’s followed by highly anticipated teen movies like The Kissing Booth 3 and He’s All That. 

Meanwhile, Tenet star John David Washington is running for his life in the new thriller Beckett, and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf will set you up with your fix of the Continent while we wait for The Witcher season 2 to arrive on the streamer. Plus, Sandra Oh is back on the small screen in comedy drama The Chair and Ryan Murphy brings us Pray Away, a documentary about conversion therapy.
