New To Netflix August 2018
Listen To This Article
Netflix is fast becoming the best place to watch new movies and tv shows and while traditional channels are still immensely popular, there's no doubting the range of brand new content available to view is causing mainstream production companies some problems.
Netflix will spend $8 billion on new content in 2018 alone, that's up from the $6 billion that they spent in 2017 so the sheer volume of new programmes getting churned out is staggering and every month there is something new to sink your teeth into.
August sees some potential big hitters getting released including:
All About The Washington's - August 10th
Hip-hop icon Rev. Run stars opposite wife Justine in this scripted comedy about one couple's attempts at balancing work, romance, and family chaos. The show is about the fictional Washington family with wife Justine taking an advantage of the opportunity to pursue a career of her own now that Joey is available to focus on raising the kids and keeping the house in order.

A brand new animated series from Simpsons and Futurama creator Matt Groening, Disenchantment is set in the medieval kingdom of Dreamland and follows the misadventures of a hard-drinking princess - Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo and her personal demon Luci. Given Groening's abilities to turn the everyday mundane into comedy gold, Disenchantment looks like another banker.
The Innocents - August 24th

To All The Boys I've Loved Before - No Specific Release Date

The movie follows Lara Jean, whose love life goes from imaginary to out of control when the love letters for every boy she's ever loved, five of them, are mysteriously mailed out.
