August is a lighter month for Netflix, with a few familiar favorites and a handful of new series and films. Comedy show Tires (Aug. 13) returns for a third season along with Outer Banks (season 5 on Aug. 20). For reality TV lovers, there's a new season of Love Is Blind: UK (Aug. 19) and Let's Marry Harry (Aug. 5), a Bachelor-like competition show featuring Australian actor and reality star Harry Jowsey.
Robert DeNiro, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Keaton, and Adam Scott star in a new original crime thriller, The Whisper Man (Aug. 28), which is based on Alex North's novel of the same name. Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing (Aug. 19) is a documentary film investigating whistleblowing at Boeing. Netflix will also host Phillies vs. Twins in MLB Field of Dreams on Aug. 13. Here's everything else coming to Netflix in August, and everything that's leaving.
