Pictured: Heartstopper (Season 2), Fast Five and Jesus Revolution
Welcome to another look ahead at what’s set to arrive on Netflix over the next seven days. This week, we’ve got dozens of new movies and series to look forward to as we enter a new month.
Please note: this list primarily covers the Netflix US additions – other regions’ lineups will vary.
A new month always brings with it a refresh of Netflix’s licensed movie library, and this month is no different. While Netflix is adding plenty over the next seven days, it’s also set to lose plenty of movies too. Ensure you’re caught up with all the August 2023 removals we’ve listed here.

Most Anticipated New Releases on Netflix This Week
Now let’s dive into a few of our most anticipated new releases coming up this week:
Jesus Revolution (2023)
Coming to Netflix: Monday
As we first reported at the beginning of the week, Netflix will be the first streaming home of one of the few box-office hits of 2023. This is somewhat of a surprise, given Lionsgate movies are normally bound for Starz in their first window.
In theaters in February 2023, the faith-based drama movie starred Joel Courtney, Anna Grace Barlow, Jonathan Roumie, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, and Kelsey Grammer.
Set in the 1970s, the movie is about a young man who is lost in life, but after meeting a preacher, they start what TIME Magazine dubbed a Jesus Revolution.
5 Fast and Furious movies
Coming to Netflix: Tuesday

It’s always good when Netflix gets to license a trilogy of movies or a bunch of movies in a collection. That’s exactly what’s happening on the first of the month when Netflix US will be the streaming home of the first five movies in the Fast and Furious franchise, now up to its tenth entry.
Although the franchise has certainly evolved over time, Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto has been a constant in this action-thriller franchise with a focus on fast cars.
The Fast and Furious movies were among our top movie picks for August 2023, with others being Gal Gadot’s new movie and the excellent Adam McKay movie, The Big Short.
Heartstopper (Season 2)
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
The British LGBTQ series Heartstopper is back for its long-anticipated second season. Here’s what you can expect from the next batch of episodes:
“Nick and Charlie navigate their new relationship; Tara and Darcy face unforeseen challenges and Tao and Elle work out if they can ever be more than just friends. With exams on the horizon, a school trip to Paris and a prom to plan, the gang has a lot to juggle as they journey through the next stages of life, love and friendship.”
