From Lucifer season 5 to the new movie Project Power, here’s what you can add to your watch list on Netflix in August 2020.
Netflix has a big August coming up, with 12 new Netflix Original movies, many new series and the arrival of Karate Kid TV series Cobra Kai from its previous home on YouTube, ahead of its third season debut. Now the streaming service has confirmed what’s on the schedule for August 2020, we’ve picked out a selection of highlights below for you to potentially add to your Watch List. This content is all Netflix exclusive, too, so you can expect everything below to land worldwide when their respective release dates come around. Here, then, are seven TV shows and movies worth checking out on Netflix in August 2020. Release date: August 14 While we’ll be waiting a while for the new movies of 2020 to hit theaters again, Netflix’s vault of original movies is seemingly endless. This is probably the highest profile original film of the summer. It’s a New Orleans-set action movie about a pill that grants its taker a unique superhuman ability. Unfortunately, while this might offer a person super strength or make them bulletproof, it can also have nastier side effects. Starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback, Project Power is about a cop (hmm) who forms an alliance with an ex-soldier and a teenager to bring down the group spreading the pill. Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost, the directors of Nerve and Paranormal Activity 3 and 4, are behind Project Power. It might be the closest you get to a new superhero movie this summer. Release date: August 21 One of several series that Netflix has saved or acquired from other networks, Lucifer returns for its fifth season at the end of August.
