What's New On Netflix August 2026:'The Last House,' 'The Whisper Man,' 'Outer Banks,' 'Don't Say Good Luck'

HOLLYWOOD, CA —August sizzles in Netflix land, bringing the heat. From cozy mysteries to gritty thrillers, this month’s slate has your watchlist covered for binge‑worthy nights and lazy weekends.

On Aug. 7, “The Last House” unleashes a genre‑bending sci‑fi horror epic led by Greta Lee and Wagner Moura. Expect pulse‑pounding survival stakes and razor‑sharp twists sure to keep you locked in until the final frame.

If you’re craving a brooding psychological crime thriller, “The Whisper Man,” dropping Aug. 28, simmers with atmospheric tension as a decades‑old serial‑killer case resurfaces. Robert De Niro and Adam Scott anchor the mystery as an estranged father‑son duo drawn back into unraveling the truth.

The month also bids a milestone farewell to the Pogues’ sun‑bleached treasure‑hunting saga on Aug. 20, when “Outer Banks” returns for its fifth and final season. The closing chapter makes one last sprint through the show’s signature chaos.

Dramedy finds its spark on Aug. 14 with “Don’t Say Good Luck,” a breezy ensemble film featuring Melanie Lynskey, Max Greenfield, Stephanie Beatriz, and Sunny Sandler. Blending coming‑of‑age energy, musical performances, and family heartbreak, the movie promises a warm, chaotic romp that anchors the month’s lighter side.

Rounding out August is a treasure trove of modern favorites and acclaimed indies, including “Nightcrawler,” “Eighth Grade,” “Marie Antoinette,” “Armageddon Time,” and “Selma.”
