All the new movies and TV shows streaming in August
A full list of what to watch on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV+, and Peacock in August 2023.
August is traditionally a great month for cinemas to attract families for a movie or two before kids head back to school. But the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have forced some studios to delay planned film releases, which means your top new entertainment options may be streaming movies and shows you can watch from your couch.
That’s where we come in. Every month, we publish a full list of what’s new on eight of the most popular streaming services in America: Netflix, Hulu, Max (formerly HBO Max), Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Peacock, and Paramount+.
Among the streaming highlights in August are a new comedy special from Stow native Chris Fleming (Peacock), the third season of “Only Murders in the Building” (Hulu), and the return of HBO’s training camp documentary “Hard Knocks” (Max), which will focus on Aaron Rodgers and the Jets this season.
