Netflixis set to offer some major new shows for the month of August. Everything from the highly anticipated return of a fan-favourite coming-of-age drama to a limited series surrounding the drugs industry to a live-action adaption of one of the most beloved animes in the world. Simply put, there’s plenty of programming to choose from.
That’s why every month T3 rounds up what’s trending, what’s got people talking and what we expect to be the next big thing. We also like to consider the quality factor, considering your time to unwind and relax is more important than ever. One thing to be aware of is that this roundup is specifically designed for Netflix users in the UK. That said, the good news is that any Netflix Originals – including every show will find in these picks – are available in all territories. Huzzah! Now that’s out of the way, let’s jump into the top new shows to watch on Netflix for August 2023.
Heartstopper - season 2

Securing a publishing deal at the age of 17, British author Alice Oseman published Hearstopper in 2019, only to partner with Netflix two years later to adapt the web comic. The LGBTQ+ rom-com drama went on to become a cultural hit, rocketing into Netflix’s Top 10 English titles in 54 countries with a second and third season subsequently commissioned.
16 months on, Heartstopper is back and will continue to explore Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick’s (Kit) relationship as they deal with exams, a prom, a school trip to Paris and the challenges that come with being openly gay. Like its debut season, Heartstopper has earned nothing but positive acclaim for critics – sitting at a 100%Rotten Tomatoesrating, at the time of writing. So it’s fair to say the hype is real.
Heartstopper season two will be available to stream on Netflix from August 3rd, 2023.
