Every film and series coming to Netflix this week: August 2024

For those feeling stifled by the summer heat and looking to take refuge in front of the television, Netflix has plenty of new shows and films arriving this week to keep you occupied.

The divisive Emily In Paris is set to return to the streaming service on Thursday, August 15th for its fourth season. Lily Collins returns as the titular Emily, an American marketer struggling to adapt to her new Parisian lifestyle. The fourth season of the show will be split into two parts, with the second arriving next month on September 12th.

On the same day, the second part of season two of manga adaptation Kengan Ashura is set to hit the streaming service. It has been almost a year since the first half of the season hit Netflix last September. Other additions this week include a new docu-series called Worst Ex Ever and the first season of Average Joe.

It’s a particularly exciting week for film fans, with pictures by Ti West and Damien Chazelle arriving on the streaming service. First Man, Chazelle’s directorial follow-up to the Academy Award-winning La La Land, will hit Netflix on Friday, the same day as Pearl.

First released in 2018, First Man stars Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, focusing on his preparation to become the first person to walk on the moon. With a gorgeous score provided by Chazelle’s long-standing collaborator Justin Hurwitz, it’s a quieter and more considered take on cinematic space travel than most, but a breathtaking watch nonetheless. Kyle Chandler and Claire Foy star in supporting roles.

Pearl, the second entry into the X series, will also hit Netflix this Friday. Mia Goth stars as the titular character, a hopeful star turned horror antagonist. The film followed the release of X, though its events predate the first film. MaXXXine, the third and final entry into the series, hit cinemas earlier this year.

Several new Netflix original pictures will also arrive on the streaming service this week, including Natalie Rae and Angela Patton’s documentary Daughters and I Can’t Live Without You.
