Pictures: Warner Bros. Pictures, Netflix, Universal
After a busy week of releases last week, Netflix is following it up with another batch of titles this week, headlined by the fourth and final season of Netflix’s flagship comic book adaptation series: The Umbrella Academy. Here’s everything set to arrive and leave Netflix US from August 5th through 11th.
This is a quick reminder (if the whining articles and Tweets didn’t alert you to it!): Joe Rogan went live on Netflix on Saturday night, and the entire one-hour special can be rewatched.
To see everything Netflix still has in store for you throughout the remainder of August 2024, we’re continuously updating our preview for the month so keep checking back.
What to Watch on Netflix This Week
Reminiscence (2021)
Coming to Netflix: Tuesday
In case you haven’t noticed, Hugh Jackman is everywhere at the moment. Starring alongside Ryan Reynolds in the blockbuster hit Deadpool vs. Wolverine, the star has returned to his Marvel roots. One of his other recent roles was in Reminiscence, which Warner Bros. Pictures released in 2021 as part of their project popcorn initiative.
The movie has a mix of genres, with there being a sprinkling of sci-fi, romance, thriller, and mystery, with the plot revolving around a private investigator who gets involved with a new subject by exploring her mind and past. Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton also star.
The Umbrella Academy (Season 4) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
It’s the end of the road for the Hargreaves, who will bow out this week with the fourth and final season of the comic book adaptation series that’s been on our screens since 2019.
Now powerless, the Hargreaves have all been dispersed since the conclusion of season 3, but a new final threat emerges known as The Keepers.
While the originally planned spin-off is no longer happening at Netflix, we should take comfort in the fact that The Umbrella Academy is coming to a planned end and is going out on a high note despite some clouds above the creator’s conduct.
Blue Ribbon Baking Championship (Season 1)
Coming to Netflix: Friday
Netflix has been the streaming home to The Great British Baking Show for the past several years, and hoping to be the American equivalent is Blue Ribbon Baking Championship. This show takes the concept of the British show and adds a nostalgic county fair twist, along with a cash prize for the winner.
