What to Watch in August: 20 Notable TV Shows & Streaming Movies
The month ahead will bring new shows like Marvel's What If, Reservation Dogs, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Chair, plus returning favorites like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and streaming movies including a surprisingly good take on The Suicide Squad. In the gallery on this page, our editors have selected the most interesting TV and movie titles debuting at home in the next month, listed in order by premiere date.
Season 8 debuts August 12 on NBC
The beloved comedy has ended once before (only to be revived by NBC after its Fox cancelation), but this is truly the end. Delayed a full year after producers opted to scrap a partially written season last summer in light of the nationwide protests following the George Floyd murder, this 10-episode final send-off for your favorite NYPD precinct will see the returns of frequent guest stars Craig Robinson, Jason Mantzoukas, Marc Evan Jackson (he's from Earth), and Nicole Byer—plus former Nine-Nine regular Chelsea Peretti—alongside new guests like John C. McGinley. How exactly the show will address last year's events remains a secret, but don't expect the status quo. (And do expect an episode where the 99th precinct is saddled with all of the NYPD's Hitchcocks and Scullys, which can only be a good thing—for us.)
