Everything New on Netflix in August 2024


Two stars who have headlined Netflix movies separately are teaming up for a big streaming film in August: Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry will star in The Union, about an ordinary dude from New Jersey (Wahlberg, cast against type — who would believe him as a guy from Jersey instead of Boston?!?) who reconnects with his old high-school girlfriend (Berry) who, in a classic Netflix movie twist, turns out to be an elite secret agent. What could go wrong?

Also coming to Netflix in August: The return of Emily in Paris, and the premiere of an anime set in the world of James Cameron’s The Terminator. (I hope there’s an Arnold sound-alike in the voice cast.) Plus, the director’s cuts of both halves of Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon will premiere, along with a SpongeBob SquarePants spinoff movie for Sandy Cheeks. Plus, y’know, a couple dozen other things as well.

Here’s the full list of everything coming to Netflix in August…
