This is just the beginning of what August has to offer streaming fans. Later this month, we’ll get the highly anticipated Alien: Earth, the first series based on the iconic franchise, as well as the newest chapter of the DCU with the second season of Peacemaker.

Between Saturday, August 2 and Friday, August 8, only four new releases are joining Netflix's library, so my usual list is going to be a little shorter than usual. I only include brand-new Netflix Originals, not third-party titles added to the service, as these programmes are available worldwide.
