The team-up series Marvel fans have been waiting for is the main attraction on Netflix in August. The Defenders — featuring street-level superheroes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist — premieres Aug. 18 on the streaming service.
Other additions this month include Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, a documentary on Russian sports doping titled Icarus, and The Matrix trilogy.
However, with the additions come the dreaded subtractions, such as Superbad and all seven seasons of the fantasy football-related comedy The League (though that won’t leave Netflix until Aug. 30, so you have plenty of time to catch up on Rafi’s antics).
Here’s a full look at what’s coming to Netflix in August. (I’ve put some notable titles in bold to try to help you out, but keep in mind there may be some selections you find more important than I do):
