What's new on Netflix in August 2024 (and what's leaving)? (2024)

August is fast approaching, and that means we have new and old movies and TV shows coming to Netflix. Netflix is serving up a mix of nostalgic favorites along with a line-up of fresh releases headed your way to stream. Even if you already have a full queue of new movies and TV shows to binge-watch, you'll want to make some room as this month sees the release of the final season of The Umbrella Academy, the much-anticipated return of Emily in Paris, and a few exciting new kids' titles as well. Here are some of our picks for this month, followed by a list of some of the highlights for the month:

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

Based upon the popular book series by Holly Jackson, we follow the curious & brilliant Pip Fitz-Amobi as she investigates the murder of her fellow senior classmate, Andie Bell. As her senior year is quickly ending, Pip decides to use her extra credit senior project as a case study into the murder of Andie and the wrongful prosecution of her supposed murderer, Sal Singh. The twists and turns of this murder case will keep you on the edge of your seat until the mystery unfolds—can you crack the case before Pip does?

Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie

A normal day in Bikini Bottom turns lethal when the entirety of the town is scooped out of the ocean, leaving Sandy and SpongeBob to venture on land to save their friends. This wild adventure takes us all the way to Sandy's home state of Texas. With limited help on their sides, Sandy and SpongeBob turn to her rootin' tootin' family for help to save Bikini Bottom and all of their friends. Set your reminders for August 2nd—Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie is sure to be a sea of laughs.

The Umbrella Academy

The fourth and final season of the Umbrella Academy is set to premiere on August 8th. We find the Hargreeves siblings all reset in a new timeline and each one stripped of their powers. While yes, we have seen this happen before in almost every single season, this final season promises higher stakes than ever before. Along with more action, more villains, and a splash of dark humor, fans can expect an explosive conclusion to this popular Netflix Original TV series.
