What to Watch First on Netflix in August, 2026

If you're wondering where to begin this month, August 2026 is packed with blockbuster originals, returning fan favorites, and plenty of licensed movies worth adding to your watchlist.

  • The biggest release has to be One Hundred Years of Solitude: Part 2. The first part received widespread praise for faithfully adapting Gabriel García Márquez's masterpiece, and this final chapter looks set to deliver an emotional conclusion to the Buendía family's story.
  • Another must-watch is Outer Banks Season 5. It's the final adventure for the Pogues, and after years of treasure hunts, betrayals, and cliffhangers, fans can finally see how John B, Sarah, JJ, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo's journey comes to an end.
  • Teen drama fans shouldn't miss My Life with the Walter Boys Season 3 either. The series continues to be one of Netflix's biggest young-adult hits, and Season 3 promises more romance, family drama, and difficult choices for Jackie, Cole, and Alex.
  • Movie lovers have plenty to enjoy as well. The Whisper Man immediately stands out thanks to its cast led by Robert De Niro and Adam Scott, while The Last House looks like one of Netflix's biggest original sci-fi horror releases of the year.
  • If horror is your favorite genre, August is an excellent month. Five Nights at Freddy's 2, M3GAN, The Shallows, Immaculate, and the complete Chucky Movie Collection provide plenty of scares throughout the month.
  • Action fans also have no shortage of choices with the entire Fast & Furious Collection, The Hitman's Bodyguard, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, Chief of Station, Mile 22, Speed, and In the Land of Saints and Sinners all arriving on the service.
  • Personally, I'd start with Outer Banks Season 5, then binge One Hundred Years of Solitude: Part 2, follow it with The Whisper Man, and save Five Nights at Freddy's 2 or M3GAN for a weekend movie night.

So that's everything coming to and leaving Netflix in August, 2026. As always, Netflix may announce a few surprise additions throughout the month, so be sure to bookmark this page; we'll continue updating it whenever new titles are revealed.
