August 2022

Netflix started August with a snooze — the good kind of snooze! The Sandman is Netflix's newest fantasy hit, an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's coveted graphic novels. But it's not the only new show on Netflix this month. This Friday brings one of the most anticipated shows of August: Season 3 of Mindy Kaling's teen rom-com Never Have I Ever, which is already Those are the biggest hits, as the rest of the month isn't quite as exciting with Netflix originals, so you might want to settle in with some licensed content like the original Spider-Man trilogy and the most recent season of Riverdale. The full list of everything coming to and leaving Netflix is below the top picks.
