Between Saturday, August 2 and Friday, August 8, only four new releases are joining Netflix's library, so my usual list is going to be a little shorter than usual. I only include brand-new Netflix Originals, not third-party titles added to the service, as these programmes are available worldwide.

This is just the beginning of what August has to offer streaming fans. Later this month, we’ll get the highly anticipated Alien: Earth, the first series based on the iconic franchise, as well as the newest chapter of the DCU with the second season of Peacemaker.
