What's New On Netflix August 2025: 'Wednesday,' 'My Oxford Year,' 'The Thursday Murder Club,' And More

HOLLYWOOD, CA — August heats up in Netflix-land, unleashing an irresistible mix of buzzy originals, fan-favorite returns, and classic cinematic gems. From cozy mysteries to gritty thrillers, we've got your watchlist covered for binge-worthy nights and lazy weekends.

Feeling romantic? “My Oxford Year” kicks off August with a syllabus full of swoon. Sofia Carson stars as a driven New Yorker whose scholarship at Oxford takes a detour when she falls for a debonair Brit (Corey Mylchreest). Set in the City of Dreaming Spires, this rom-com invites you to revel in a transformative journey of love, ambition, and self-discovery.

For those in the mood of a cozy murder mystery, “The Thursday Murder Club” serves up an adaptation of Richard Osman’s bestselling novel, starring Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie as a foursome of razor-sharp retirees. Their hobby? Weekly sleuthing meetups — until they stumble into a real-life whodunnit that raises the stakes. Witty, charming, and full of twists, it has the mischief of “Knives Out,” served with the warmth of English tea.

If you're craving something gritty, “Night Always Comes” stars Vanessa Kirby as a woman racing through Portland’s underbelly to raise funds to save her family’s home. A film adaptation of Willy Vlautin’s novel, this suspenseful crime drama pulses with visceral thrills and aching urgency.

“Wednesday” returns Aug. 6 with the first half of Season 2. Jenna Ortega reprises her role as the iconic sleuth, and this time, Lady Gaga joins the cast, making Nevermore Academy colder, weirder and more glamorous than ever. The second half drops in Sept., ushering in the fall chills.

As if those offerings were not enough, other buzz-worthy picks include the raunchy animated comedy “Fixed,” gripping true-crime doc “Stolen: Heist of the Century,” the fiery return of “Perfect Match Season 3,” and the NFL docuseries “America’s Team” spotlighting Jerry Jones’ Cowboys.

Finally, August closes out with a nostalgic wave of beloved blockbusters and family favorites, including: “Jurassic Park,” “Rush Hour,” and “The Departed,” plus animated hits like “Megamind,” “Minions,” and “Despicable Me.” For thrill-seekers, the entire “Fast & Furious” movie collection is also available for your viewing pleasure.
