August might be bringing the sunshine – but Netflix will be trying to lure you inside with a new bunch of titles.

This month, as well as the removal of numerous titles, will see returning favourite shows (The Umbrella Academy andEmily in Paris) alongside the British version of the popular reality series Love is Blindand a new spy action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry.

Another new title that seems destined for cult status is Korean suspense thriller The Frog, a series whose synopsis reads: “One tranquil summer, a mysterious woman checks into a vacation rental – triggering events that disrupt the lives of the owner and those around him.”

One month after being added to Netflix, US drama Lost will arrive on the UK version of the streaming service, with the American branch receiving a wealth of TV shows, including Interview with the Vampire and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.

All original titles will be released in both the UK and US – but we have noted the specific territory a film or TV series is arriving in within the licenced titles section.

NB: The Independent has compiled this lsit with assistance from What’s on Netflix.
