Netflix rolls out major August 2026 lineup and upcoming departures

Netflix is scheduling one of its busiest August months, featuring the final season of the series Outer Banks debuting on August 20, new releases such as the sci‑fi thriller The Last House and the crime drama The Whisper Man, plus a range of returning series, blockbuster movies, documentaries and original titles.

In parallel, the streamer has announced a list of titles that will leave the platform after August, including films like American Gangster, Borat, Everest, Ex Machina and Hacksaw Ridge, prompting subscribers to watch them before they disappear.

The announcements highlight Netflix's continued strategy of delivering a mix of fresh content and managing its rotating library to retain viewer engagement throughout the late summer period.
