Lanterns, Ted Lasso, and 8 More of Our Most Anticipated Streaming Shows and Movies in August
From a horror tale about being trapped in your own house to the return of Reacher and, finally, the arrival of Lanterns, here are our picks for what to stream this month.
The month of August brings a plethora of highly anticipated streaming shows and movies for fans to enjoy. Starting off the month is SOULM8TE, a spin-off of the horror movie M3GAN, focusing on a man who buys an android to cope with the loss of his wife. The film, initially delayed, is set to release on Peacock, likely following its success in the horror genre.
Next up is Star Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi, an eight-episode series that serves as a spin-off of the already popular anthology series. This new show will explore the story of young Jedi Lah Kara and her encounters with Sith Nawaam, promising a fresh take on the Star Wars universe.
Returning to the airwaves for Season 4 is the beloved comedy Ted Lasso. Three years after the mixed reception of its third season, the show will once again bring joy to fans with its trademark positive and humorous tone. The show's cast includes familiar faces such as Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, and Brett Goldstein, as they continue to coach Richmond's all-woman football team.
Another highly anticipated release in August is the second season of Netflix's adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez's classic novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude. Spanning across eight episodes and a movie-length finale, this adaptation faithfully brings to life the magical realist tale of the town of Macondo and its inhabitants, earning critical acclaim along the way.
Other notable August releases include Alley Cats, an animated adventure featuring Ricky Gervais as an overweight tabby cat, and The Last House, a horror film set in a seemingly haunted residence. With a diverse range of shows and movies to choose from, August promises to be an exciting month for streaming enthusiasts.
