Between Saturday, August 2 and Friday, August 8, only four new releases are joining Netflix's library, so my usual list is going to be a little shorter than usual. I only include brand-new Netflix Originals, not third-party titles added to the service, as these programmes are available worldwide.

As has become a tradition for Netflix's most popular shows, Wednesday's second season is being released in two parts. The first four episodes are available to stream from – when else? – Wednesday, August 6. The second half of the season will follow in September.
