There are lots of shows returning in August with new seasons, including Industry and Bel-Air with their respective third seasons and Emily in Paris with the first part of its fourth season. That’s not it, though. You can also check out more lighthearted fare if you want to enjoy something relaxing this summer, like the fifth season of Solar Opposites or Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears .
When it comes to five shows you need to watch in August, however, we have chosen a selection of both new and returning shows on the top streaming services that you’ll want to have on your watch list this month. The Umbrella Academy, season 4 (August 8) The Umbrella Academy returns in August to conclude its sprawling story. The superhero series based on the comic book series of the same name is about a group of siblings adopted by an eccentric billionaire.
They all possess superpowers and have come together to probe their father’s death and stop the pending apocalypse. Earning six Emmy awards through its run to date, The Umbrella Academy continues the story from season 3, which premiered in June 2022. In season 3, the siblings were dealing with the creation of a new timeline, their replacement by another superhero group in this alternate version of 2019, and a kugelblitz trying to destroy the universe.
Our reviewer called that season the weirdest to date. Whichever way season 4 takes the story, it’s sure to be an exciting end to the tale. Stream The Umbrella Academy on.
