If you're looking to find what new movies and shows Netflix is adding this week, I've got you covered. The streaming service is adding 21 new movies and shows this week. But there are quite a few titles still worth adding to your watchlist.
Top of the list is "Tires" season 3. Shane Gillis may not be batting a thousand with his other Netflix appearances, but this show is a certified hit. If you prefer some drama with your comedy, though, you may want to watch "Don't Say Good Luck." This teen musical is the latest Netflix movie to star Sunny Sandler, but I'll be watching it for Steve Buscemi. Then again, I might stick to MLB Field of Dreams: Phillies vs. Twins, which pits my adopted Philadelphia baseball team against the former Washington Senators in a cornfield in Iowa.
If for some reason those aren't your speed, you could check out "Mourinho." This three-part docuseries puts the spotlight on a football manager who's never shied away from it in his storied career. Or, check out "Rory Scovel: Show Must Go On," which is the latest comedy special from the "Eric Andre Show" veteran.
Those aren't the only movies, shows and live events to add to your watchlist this week, though. Here's the full schedule of everything new on Netflix over the next seven days, along with my top picks for what you need to stream. Don't forget to check out everything new on Netflix in August 2026 for even more movies and shows to check out.
New on Netflix this week: Top picks
'Tires' season 3
Genre: Workplace comedy series
What it's about: "Tires" stars Steve Gerben as Will. He manages his family's West Chester auto-repair chain, and he's barely keeping it alive. Not helping things is his cousin, Shane (Shane Gillis), who is not just family but also a questionable employee.
Why you should watch it: Season 3 looks to be more of the same for the Gillis-led sitcom. While his comedy is sometimes questionable (to say the least), this show acknowledges that ... to a degree. It's still often sophomoric humor, but you'll almost certainly laugh.
Watch "Tires" season 3 on Netflix starting August 13
'Don't Say Good Luck'
Genre: Musical teen drama movie
What's it about? "Don't Say Good Luck" stars Sunny Sandler as Sophie. She's a high schooler aspiring to be an actress. But as she scores the lead in the high school musical, her home life starts to unravel.
Why you need to watch it: Based on the trailer, it sure seems like Melanie Lynskey dies at the end of the movie, which is a bummer. Honestly, this "dramedy" seems to be heavy on the drama. But it also has Steve Buscemi as Sophie's grandfather, so I'm at least a little intrigued.
Watch "Don't Say Good Luck" on Netflix starting August 14
MLB Field of Dreams: Phillies vs. Twins
Genre: Live sporting event
What it's about: For the first time in four years, baseball is returning to Dyersville, Iowa. Home of the Field of Dreams, built on the site of the stadium from the iconic Kevin Costner movie of the same name, this patch of former cornfield will host the Philadelphia Phillies as they take on (and hopefully pummel) the Minnesota Twins.
Why you should watch it: If you build it, they will stream. Or, at least, that's what Netflix is hoping. It's their first time hosting the live Major League Baseball event. But Netflix is now fairly experienced at broadcasting live sports, so hopefully it'll be all Schwarbombs and no buffering.
Watch MLB Field of Dreams: Phillies vs. Twins on Netflix live starting at 7:30 p.m. ET on August 13
'Mourinho'
Genre: Docuseries
What it's about: José Mourinho wasn't always known as "The Special One." He started as a journeyman footballer. But everything changed in 2002 when he took over at Porto. In two years, he took them from a struggling side to champions of Europe. Since then, he's won at Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Roma. He may be egomaniacal, but there's no denying he's special.
Why you should watch it: Pretty much every football fan knows who Mourinho is. He's never been shy, and given the high-profile clubs he's won at, he's earned his time in the spotlight. That said, I'm very curious to see what Zlatan Ibrahimović has to say about his former manager in this docuseries.
Watch "Mourinho" on Netflix starting August 11
'Rory Scovel: Show Must Go On'
Genre: Stand-up comedy special
What it's about: Rory Scovel isn't the biggest name in comedy. But between appearances on "The Eric Andre Show," "Comedy Bang Bang" and a series of comedy specials, fans of stand-up likely know who he is. Now, he's bringing a new hour-long special to Netflix: "Show Must Go On."
Why you should watch it: We don't really know anything about Scovel's upcoming special. So I've included a clip above from his previous standup work. If you like it, you'll almost certainly like "Show Must Go On."
Watch "Rory Scovel: Show Must Go On" on Netflix starting August 11
