According to Digital Spy, major subscription streaming platforms are rolling out new cinematic debuts this month for audiences looking to watch home releases rather than theater showings of films like The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The upcoming slate spans genres from true-story dramas to serial killer thrillers across Netflix, Prime Video, and Sky Cinema.
What Thriller and Drama Movies Are Coming to Netflix This Month?
Netflix is expanding its catalog with home-invasion thrillers and book adaptations. According to Digital Spy, The Last House arrives on Netflix on August 7, following an ordinary family sealed inside their home with no way out. Greta Lee and Wagner Moura star in the project, with Lee telling Digital Spy that audiences are definitely in for a surprise. Later in the month, Netflix adds the serial killer thriller The Whisper Man on August 28, just ahead of the UK August Bank Holiday weekend. Based on Alex North’s book, the film stars Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan, Adam Scott, and Hamish Linklater, focusing on a renewed investigation after children begin disappearing while a previously arrested killer appears back in action, according to Digital Spy.
Which True-Story and Fictional Dramas Land on Sky Cinema and NOW?
Sky Cinema and NOW are releasing biographical and historical dramas in August. According to Digital Spy, Song Sung Blue premieres on August 7, featuring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire Sardina. The film chronicles the real-life couple who performed as the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder, capturing the highs and lows of their lives while omitting some of the story’s more shocking moments, according to Digital Spy. Following that release, Chloé Zhao’s drama Hamnet debuts on Sky Cinema and NOW on August 14. Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s book, the film stars Paul Mescal as William Shakespeare and Jessie Buckley as his wife Agnes, exploring how the couple coped with the death of their son Hamnet, an event that inspired Shakespeare’s greatest work, according to Digital Spy.
What Young Adult Adaptations Are Heading to Prime Video?
Prime Video is bolstering its young adult catalog with a new book adaptation. According to Digital Spy, The Last Sunrise arrives on the platform on August 26. Based on the book by After author Anna Todd, the film stars Maia Reficco as Ry, a college student with a chronic illness who falls for Julián, played by Fernando Lindez, while vacationing with her mother, played by Eva Longoria. As Ry attempts to live in the moment, her worsening medical condition threatens her relationships before summer ends, according to Digital Spy.
