August tends to be a quieter time in the world of film and television. Most of the best summer movies have already hit multiplexes, and many networks air reruns or replacement programming while waiting until fall to debut new seasons of their marquee programs. It’s a little quieter than normal in the world of streaming as well, but there are still a number of new movies and TV shows coming to Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime Video in August.
Continuing his quest to rebuild the DC Universe, James Gunn’s superhero series “Peacemaker” (starring West Newbury native John Cena) returns to HBO Max August 21. Over on Netflix, Tim Burton’s Addams Family series “Wednesday” debuts its second season (or at least the first part of it) August 6. And Noah Hawley’s long-awaited “Alien: Earth” touches down on Hulu August 12.
Below you’ll find a full list of what’s new in August 2025 on eight of the most popular streaming services in America: Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Peacock, and Paramount+.
