Summer is ending soon, but things are just heating up over on Netflix. The streaming platform is planning to launch a slew of original titles this fall, and it’s getting a head start in August with a couple of reality series and an animated fantasy-adventure from The Simpson’s mastermind, Matt Groening. Of course, it can be tough to keep up with what needs to be binged at the moment. That’s why we’re bringing you a round-up of what’s new to Netflix and what’s departing this week of August 17th, including a new season of a popular CW sci-fi series and a Futurama-esque followup.
Disenchantment (series streaming August 16th)
Simpsons creator Matt Groening has a new animated comedy coming to Netflix. This one follows a rebellious princess who decides to eschew her royal duties in favor of adventure (with a good-natured elf and a demon in tow). The series looks like it hopes to be a medieval fantasy riff off Futurama, but we’ll have to wait and see if it has that kind of magic.
The 100: Season 5 (series streaming August 15th)
The CW’s teen apocalyptic drama’s fifth season lands on Netflix this week with some big changes in store for the remaining delinquents. A six-year time jump and a group of mass-murdering prisoners changes the landscape of Earth as Clarke fights to protect her new family, Bellamy tries to get back to the ground, and Octavia leads her new army underground.
