Never one to skimp on new content, Netflix are adding a ton of fresh films and television series for the week of August 17th to the 23rd. Notable highlights include the video game documentary High Score, as well as the return of Lucifer for a fifth season, and animated show Hoops from the team behind Bob’s Burgers. There’s a lot of other material coming to the streamer this week, too, so let’s dive in on what to expect.
On the movie side, we get the Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek-starring Drunk Parents, as well as the Wendy Jo Carlton romantic comedy Good Kisser. Netflix Originals, meanwhile, include the Argentine thriller The Crimes That Bind, wherein a woman attempts to save her son from prison after he’s convicted of the attempted murder of his ex-wife, while you can also watch out for Mexican horror Fuego negro and Indian crime story Class of ’83.
For TV series, Netflix are pulling out some major titles as we head towards September, including the aforementioned Lucifer, which has the first block of episodes in its new season available from August 21st. The streaming giant have already confirmed that there’ll be a sixth season of the program, too, which has found a new lease on life on the platform. In addition, we have Netflix’s exclusive Nickelodeon series Glitch Techs, German sci-fi Biohackers and Korean supernatural anthology Goedam.
Anime continues to be a solid investment for Netflix as well, with the latest series being Great Pretender, about a con man who encounters a gentleman thief. For more, here’s everything scheduled for Netflix from the 17th to the 23rd:
