Kaos, Sonic the Hedgehog and The Deliverance – Picture Credits: Netflix
Summer is drawing to a close and next week is the last batch of additions that will be rounding out August. Below, we’ll walk you through all the new movies and series coming up over the next seven days.
Of course, next Sunday, we’ll be crossing into a brand new month. You can familiarize yourself with all the new Netflix additions for September 2024 here, and we’ve also compiled a list of the 8 movies you need to check out next month.
Of course, there are also a lot of movies and series leaving Netflix next week, including over 50 movies on the first of the month alone.
What to Watch on Netflix This Week
Adam Sandler: Love You (2024) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Tuesday
Returning for his second major stand-up comedy special at Netflix following 2018’s 100% Fresh, The Sandman himself will be back with the hot mic to sit alongside his growing library of movies on the platform. In this new special, Sandler will pick up the guitar for another music number, plus jokes on party-crashing dogs and more.
Kaos (Season 1) Netflix Original
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
On paper, Kaos has it all. A buzzy premise and a fantastic cast led by the likes of Jeff Goldblum, Janet McTeer, and Billie Piper (amongst many, many more) that sees them each play a modern new take on classic Greek Gods.
“As discord reigns on Mount Olympus and almighty Zeus spirals into paranoia, three mortals are destined to reshape the future of humankind,” reads the synopsis.
After the trailer was released earlier this week, I’m still not sure if this will be the hit that continues Netflix’s UK hot streak in 2024, which was kicked off by Fool Me Once and followed up with The Gentlemen and Baby Reindeer.
The Deliverance (2024)
Coming to Netflix: Friday
Spooky season is officially upon us, with Netflix’s first major horror title dropping onto the service this Friday. From esteemed director Lee Daniels, the new thriller sees a single parent move into a new house that appears to have a life of its own as it has a gateway to hell in the basement.
The movie features some fantastic talent, including Andra Day, Glenn Close, Mo’Nique, and Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin. The movie has already been available to critics, with the movie having now appeared in select theaters throughout August, and reviews are mixed. Critics aren’t hugely keen on the movie, but the audience scores have been good.
For The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw said, “With a terrible inevitability, it just turns into a big, standard-issue derivative sub-Exorcist slice of ridiculous nonsense in which, like so many real-life exorcism films, nobody involved has apparently seen the film The Exorcist.”
