Top Picks on Netflix in August 2026
One Hundred Years of Solitude (Part 2)
The latest adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s literary masterpiece wraps up on Netflix in August 2026. As newcomers arrive in Macondo, the Buendía family’s fate become intertwined with the movements of the world around them. And beneath it all, a curse has yet to be fulfilled.
Part 2 streaming August 5; The Grand Finale streaming August 26.
My Life with the Walter Boys (Season 3)
Think a love triangle is complicated? How about a love quadrangle? Season 3 certainly seems to be suggesting that possibility, with the arrival of a new character to shake things up for Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez). Plus, we’ve got health scares, dangerous new hobbies, new (and returning) characters, and more. What more could a soapy rural drama ask for?
Streaming August 6
The Last House
How long would you last if you couldn’t leave your house… ever? That’s exactly what happens to one family of four in this new sci-fi thriller. As resources dwindle and relationships fray, they still don’t have the most important answer: what’s keeping them trapped, and why? Greta Lee and Wagner Moura star.
Streaming August 7
Don’t Say Good Luck
If you came of age in your school’s theatre department, this one’s for you. Teenager Sophie (Sunny Sandler) is ready to take center stage as the lead in her high school’s musical, until her off-stage life gets even more dramatic. Melanie Lynskey, Max Greenfield, and Stephanie Beatriz also star.
Streaming August 14
Outer Banks (Season 5)
The teen drama is back for one last season, and it’s sure to be a wild ride. After Season 4 ended on a deadly shocker, the Pogues want revenge for one of their own. With dangers closing in from every side, they’ll have to trust each other (if they can) to make it home and avenge their fallen friend.
