That’s good news for viewers, who, after a very slow July, will get to see some of the year’s most highly anticipated releases, including new seasons of Netflix’s “Wednesday” and HBO Max’s ”Peacemaker,” and Hulu’s “Alien: Earth” prequel and “King of the Hill” revival.

Aliens, awkward romances, and Eddie Murphy in an armored truck — there’s no shortage of new shows and movies to watch in August 2025 on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV Plus and other major streaming services, as well as broadcast and cable TV.
