Netflix’s Movie Highlights For August 2020

Offering movie fans a dose of super-powered mayhem, the Netflix original film Project Power shows what happens when epic abilities of metahuman strength can be obtained with a single pill. Starring Dominique Fishback, Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this R-rated thriller looks to be a pretty good time in the making. On the front of legacy titles, the Jurassic Park trilogy is leaving Peacock after its brief stint, and coming back to its previous home of Netflix. So if you want to see the 1993 Steven Spielberg masterpiece, and the first two sequels it spawned, Netflix is the place to park it. Last, but not least, after leaving HBO Max's library at the beginning of August 2020, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace are migrating another digital streaming library, and on the same day as Hulu will be adding these titles to their ranks as well. With another rumored delay for No Time To Die being whispered about, it feels like the perfect time to refresh oneself on Daniel Craig's exploits as 007 from the beginning.

Netflix’s TV Highlights For August 2020

In the realm of TV, Netflix is landing three pretty big titles in August 2020. As previously promised, and accidentally leaked, Lucifer is back for Season 5, with a penultimate batch of episodes leading to the eventual (we mean it this time) series finale with Season 6. Meanwhile, the original content train doesn't stop there, as the previous YouTube Red series Cobra Kai finally dons its Netflix Belt and becomes a part of the family, with the first two seasons added to the lineup in August. But perhaps the biggest news for Netflix's TV fans is the fact that all four books of Nickelodeon's The Legend of Korra are going to be available, just in time for anyone who's finished Avatar: The Last Airbender to catch up and see what the fuss is all about.

It's all happening in August 2020, and if the titles above are appealing to you the discerning reader, Netflix is the place to be! Please keep in mind that all titles mentioned are subject to change and availability; so if something doesn't look like it's dropping when it should, you can always check the schedule to see if there's been a surprise update. Other than that, we'll see you back here around this time next month, and would like to remind you to stream responsibly. Space out those Cobra Kai episodes a little bit. It's a treat, not a meal.
