According to Netflix, their “most popular” film ever is Red Notice, their glossy comic thriller starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. So the streaming service must have high expectations for Heart of Stone, Gadot’s latest project for the service; an action film where the former Wonder Woman teams up with another secret agent (Jamie Dornan) on an all important mission.
But that’s just one of the dozens of films and shows that will be coming to Netflix in August. The other titles include weekly episodes of Netflix’s sports documentary series Untold, a new version of Nailed It! that’s more of a full-season elimination-style challenge, a reality show featuring boxing champ Tyson Fury and his family, and the live-action adaptation of the beloved manga One Piece.
Here’s everything coming to Netflix in August 2023:
