What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in August 2023

By

Amazon Prime Video doesn’t always tout it, but the streamer’s deals with Paramount and Universal Pictures mean that some of this year’s theatrical releases are coming to Prime Video after brief runs on Paramount+ and Peacock. This month, that applies to the sleeper hit, Cocaine Bear, and the surprisingly well-executed Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. If that’s not enough, Prime Video is also adding a number of recent films and classic movies early in August including Amadeus, Galaxy Quest, Women Talking, and more.

Intriguingly, Prime Video is also adding ’80s TV hits LA Law and Matlock early in August. And near the end of the month, NFL fans can celebrate the return of Thursday Night Football. Additionally, the new seasons of The Summer I Turned Pretty and Good Omens. will continue throughout the month.

Go ahead and name some of your favorite TV shows of the last year or two. I'll bet that many of them are from Apple TV+. The streaming service might not have as big a catalog as some of the others, but Apple TV+ is continuously releasing quality TV shows. From Severance to Ted Lasso, Shrinking to Silo, Apple TV+ is a leader in genres like sci-fi and comedy.

If you haven't yet signed on for Apple TV+, you're missing out. And this month, as you enjoy the rest of the summer, you can check out new seasons of favorite shows, like Physical and Foundation, or start watching shows you never got around to yet, like Schmigadoon! and Platonic.

Summertime has been a super jam-packed release window for Apple TV+. Through both June and July, the platform seemed to unveil new movies and shows nearly every week, and while August is seeing a bit of a wind-down for new content, that just means you’ll have some extra time to catch up on all the episodes of Prehistoric Planet you’ve been meaning to indulge in.

As always, it’s our job to keep you in the Apple TV+ loop, and while August 2023 will only bring two new seasons of both Physical and Invasion, in terms of new releases, all sources point toward a very active Autumn 2023. But fall is still several weeks away, so let’s focus on what’s new on Apple TV+ for summer’s final chapter.

As Hulu enters the month of August, it's poised to lose several of its popular movies and TV shows including The Shape of Water, the first three Jurassic Park films, the modern remake of Dune, and more. Of course, this is offset by the fact that new movies and TV shows will arrive on Hulu at the beginning of the month. It's the curse and the blessing of the streaming age. Nothing can stop the churn of content, but you can still make plans to catch your favorites before they leave. And you have 31 days to do so.

Below, we've put together a comprehensive list of everything leaving Hulu in August 2023. And our favorite selections are marked in bold.
