Summer’s winding down so you can soak up the dying rays of sunshine, or you can accept that winter is in fact coming and start planning the next month of your binge-watching schedule. Netflix continues to pump em out, bringing some interesting original content this Fall. A teen rom-com, a new season of a dark drama series, and a Kristen Bell-led comedy make the highlight reel, but a bunch of critically-acclaimed movies and TV shows are coming to the streaming platform too. Here’s everything that should be on your radar for August 2018.
ARRIVING
Ozark: Season 2 (8/31)
Jason Bateman and company are back for more of this darkly-lit family drama. After dealing with a slew of baddies the first time around, season two sees the Byrdes once again facing danger from every side as the cartel, the Snells and the Langmores all threaten to bring down the new life they’ve built in the Ozarks.
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (8/17)
As far as teen rom-coms go, this one looks fun. The film features an Asian actress in a leading role — shocking, we know — and manages to portray teen romance in a hilariously honest light. Lara Jean is a verifiable nobody at her school with an active, imaginary love life that soon spirals out of control when her secret letters to every boy she’s ever fallen for are mysteriously mailed out.
Like Father (8/3)
Kristen Bell in anything is guaranteed to be funny but this father-daughter comedy looks especially rife with humor. Bell plays a workaholic woman jilted at the altar who decides to salvage something from her relationship when she heads out on her honeymoon cruise … with her estranged father.
