Weekend Watchlist: What to Watch This August
August is packed with fresh entertainment, from fan-favorite comebacks to brand-new stories. With this, there’s something dropping almost every week, whether you’re streaming at home or heading to the cinema.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s coming!
Freakier Friday – In Cinemas August 8
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back in a new twist to the classic body-swap tale. Nearly twenty years after the original Freaky Friday, the duo returns.
This time, they are back with more chaos and even more family drama. It’s not just a reboot, but a continuation, where different generations collide again. It lands in cinemas nationwide on August 8.
Wednesday Season 2 – On Netflix August 6
Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams in the much-awaited second season of Wednesday. This time, the mystery deepens, the tension rises, and Nevermore Academy isn’t any less creepy. Tim Burton stays at the helm, and Netflix is dropping the first half of the season on August 6, with the rest following in early September.
The Naked Gun – In Cinemas August 1
A new generation is getting its own dose of ridiculousness with The Naked Gun reboot. Liam Neeson takes over the role of the clumsy cop Frank Drebin, and Pamela Anderson joins in for the ride. It’s a bold take on the original, and it promises laughs while still tipping its hat to the classic.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood – STARZ, August 8
The new prequel series, Blood of My Blood, explores the origin story before Claire and Jamie’s time. The first two episodes arrive on August 8, with weekly releases after that. Expect love, drama, and Scottish history, all over again.
King of the Hill Season 14 – Hulu, August 4
After years off the air, King of the Hill is back. The Hill family returns to Arlen, Texas, but it’s not the early 2000s anymore. Still, Hank, Peggy, and Bobby feel just as familiar. All 10 episodes of the new season drop on August 4 on Hulu.
Eyes of Wakanda – Disney+, August 1
Set in the Marvel world of Wakanda, this animated series takes us into new territory. Eyes of Wakanda follows elite warriors on a mission to retrieve stolen vibranium across the world. It’s rich in lore and full of action, with all four episodes already available from August 1.
Chief of War – Apple TV+, August 1
Jason Momoa stars in this historical drama set in 18th-century Hawaii. It’s a story of war, leadership, and power struggles between island rulers. The first two episodes are already streaming on Apple TV+ since August 1, with more coming every Friday.
Peacemaker Season 2 – HBO Max, August 21
John Cena returns as Peacemaker, the unpredictable antihero. Season two brings new threats, more action, and that offbeat humor fans loved in season one. It officially kicks off on August 21 on HBO Max.
Rare Beauty, the beauty brand founded by Selena Gomez, has unveiled its first-ever celebrity partnership, announcing British actress Ella Bright as the face of its new Made You Blush campaign.
The brand first teased the collaboration on social media, asking fans to guess the celebrity involved. Many fans correctly guessed Ella and praised the partnership, saying she perfectly represents the brand.
This marks the first time Rare Beauty has collaborated with a celebrity ambassador.
Reacting to the announcement, Ella said “I am so excited to announce my partnership with Rare Beauty as the new face of the ‘Made You Blush’ campaign.”
She added “I have been a massive fan of the brand for years, and their Soft Pinch Liquid Blush has always been a favourite in my make-up routine.”
Nigerian TikTok influencer Peller has spoken about his upcoming wedding, revealing that he wants to break a cycle in his family.
He shared that his parents had children before getting married, but he wants a different path for himself and his fiancée, Jarvis.
He said “My parents didn’t get married when they gave birth to me and my siblings, but I said I will break that curse. When I told my parents I wanted to get married to Jarvis, they thought I was joking and didn’t take me seriously at first.”
Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and American rapper Cardi B have sparked dating rumours after being spotted together again.
The pair were first seen sitting beside each other at a fashion show, where they were later spotted chatting. Fans quickly began speculating that there could be something between them.
More recently, they were seen having dinner with friends in Venice, Italy.
Although there was no public display of affection, many noted how comfortable they appeared in each other’s company, leading fans to continue speculating about a possible relationship.
