The biggest new Netflix Canada shows in August 2024
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder — August 1
Emma Myers, known to many viewers as Enid Sinclair from Wednesday, led this six-episode YA mystery as Pip Fitz-Amobi. Pip investigates a five-year-old murder-suicide that appears to have been solved, but may not have been solved correctly.

#1 Best Overall
The series was adapted from Holly Jackson’s YA mystery novel. It first aired in the UK and Ireland before arriving on Netflix in Canada. Because the BBC was involved in commissioning and production, it is more accurate to describe the show as a Netflix release or Netflix-distributed series than to call it a Netflix original without qualification.
Read before or after watching: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson is the natural companion for viewers who want the original version of Pip’s investigation. The television adaptation follows the book’s central premise but is its own screen interpretation.
The Umbrella Academy season 4 — August 8
The Hargreeves siblings returned for the fourth and final season of the superhero series. The story moved into a reset timeline, where the family faced a powerless version of itself and new threats connected to the Keepers.
This was the show’s final television chapter, so it was a priority release for existing fans rather than a conventional jumping-on point. The series is based on the Dark Horse comics by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá; the graphic novels remain a separate way to explore the franchise’s world, characters and lore. Avoid spoilers if you have not finished the season.

Emily in Paris season 4, part 1 — August 15
The first part of season 4 continued Emily Cooper’s professional and romantic complications in Paris. It offered a lighter, fashion-focused counterpoint to August’s crime mysteries, superhero drama and horror films. Netflix released part 1 on August 15; this entry refers specifically to that first batch of episodes, not the complete season.
Other notable new and returning series
- Unstable season 2 — August 1
- From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke season 3 — August 1

Late-month genre pairing: KAOS brought a darkly comic take on Greek mythology, centring on Zeus and three mortals, while Terminator Zero expanded the Terminator universe through anime. Both arrived on August 29, making them a useful back-to-back option for viewers looking for very different kinds of speculative fiction.
New movies on Netflix Canada in August 2024
Big movie releases
- Rebel Moon — Part One: Director’s Cut and Rebel Moon — Part Two: Director’s Cut — August 2. Zack Snyder’s expanded cuts arrived together.

- Hit Man — August 22. Richard Linklater’s crime comedy, starring Glen Powell and Adria Arjona, joined the Canadian lineup.

For a documentary-focused watchlist, Inside the Mind of a Dog and Secret Lives of Orangutans covered animal behaviour and conservation, while the Untold entries and Worst Ex Ever supplied true-crime and sports-related investigations. Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli offered a filmmaker profile rather than a conventional nature or true-crime documentary.
Family viewing
Families had several clear options spread across the month:
- Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie — August 2
- Gabby’s Dollhouse season 10 — August 5
- CoComelon Lane season 3 — August 19
These additions were aimed at different age groups, so parents should still check the individual Netflix maturity rating and synopsis before starting a title with younger children.
