Everything Coming to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Disney+ in August
From an intimate look at Val Kilmer’s life to Nicole Kidman’s turn as a creepy cult leader, it’s time to retreat from the heat and binge-watch the month away.
Looks like even if we’re ready to be done with a world just halfway locked down due to the coronavirus, the Delta variant of the bug has other ideas. With a new month, streaming services are coming to the rescue with ways to pass the time staying inside (should you need to).
On Netflix beginning August 1st you can catch an 80s classic like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Then on August 3rd, find out if the truth is really out there from Top Secret UFO Projects: Declassified. Later in the month on August 23, the streamer premieres The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, an animated spinoff of the popular Witcher series starring Henry Cavill.
You’ll have to wait till August 31st, but Hulu has a treat in store with Only Murders in the Building, starring the unlikely-sounding trio of Martin Short, Steve Martin, and…Selena Gomez. As the combination of cast and title might indicate, it’s a Knives Out-style comedy mystery about three residents of a posh apartment building who start a true crime podcast to investigate the murder of one of their neighbors.

If you don’t like your comedy and drama mixed, Hulu also offers the series premiere of Nine Perfect Strangers on August 18, starring Nicole Kidman as Masha, who according to Harper’s is “the mysterious resort director ‘on a mission to reinvigorate [the guests’] tired minds and bodies.'” She says fun stuff like, “You’re mine now. And you want to be mine,” so despite the presence of Melissa McCarthy in the cast, whatever’s going on here is pretty creepy, not funny.
Amazon begins the month with some fun selections for anyone ready to head to an out-of-the-way beach for a final summer splash in the surf: Jaws: The Revenge, Jaws, Jaws 2, and Jaws 3. If that’s a bit too much, then on August 6th, the streamer releases Val, the new documentary about actor Val Kilmer culled in part from years of video footage the actor made at work and home.
Disney+ is all about the series this month, with the final episodes for the season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch and — in case four Jaws movies weren’t enough to keep you out of the water forever — Shark Attack Files Season 1 drops on August 13.
Check out all the selections below and make plans for hunkering down with mysteries, sharks, and a spooky Nicole Kidman until September 1st.
