‘Ted Lasso’ returns, ‘Lanterns’ lands and Netflix goes big: what to watch in August

August 5 brings the return of "Ted Lasso" to Apple TV+, with Season 4 set to continue Jason Sudeikis' beloved character's journey as he coaches a women's soccer team. The series will introduce new cast members Faye Marsay and Tanya Reynolds, and the fate of Anthony Stewart Head's character remains uncertain despite his recent passing.

In Netflix's Spanish-language drama, "One Hundred Years of Solitude, Season 2," director Laura Mora aims to elevate the adaptation to an epic cinematic level, concluding the saga of the Buendía family after three years of production. The second part of the series will cover the final 50 years of the story. Meanwhile, Disney+ will premiere "The Shards" on August 6, a series based on Bret Easton Ellis' novel, which follows wealthy high school students in the 1980s as a mysterious new student and a city-wide serial killer threaten their carefully ordered lives.

The series also features Ryan Murphy's production credits. HBO Max will debut "Monsters of God," a five-part documentary series exploring the world of reptile trafficking and the dangerous pursuit of rare creatures. Finally, "Lanterns" will premiere on August 16 on HBO Max, set in the rebooted DC universe, following John Stewart and Hal Jordan as they investigate a murder in the American heartland while dealing with an intergalactic mystery.
