Let’s be honest — finding something fresh to watch can sometimes feel like a full-time job. But don’t worry, we’ve done the scrolling (and the stalking of release calendars) so you don’t have to.
Latest OTT Releases This Week
This week’s OTT lineup is stacked with thrillers, comedies, sci-fi weirdness, and some real-life drama too. Whether you’re in the mood to laugh, cry, get spooked, or just pass time with something fun, something is waiting for you.
Here’s what’s dropping between August 4 to August 10 across Netflix, Prime Video, SonyLIV, JioHotstar, and Apple TV+. Let’s get into it
1. SEC Football: Any Given Saturday
Not just for hardcore sports lovers — this documentary gets up close and personal with the 2024 SEC college football season. From locker room pep talks to emotional breakdowns and the real hustle behind those weekend games, it’s surprisingly addictive. Think of it as Drive to Survive, but with helmets and touchdowns.
Platform: Netflix
Release Date: August 5
2. The Pickup
Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson in a buddy-action comedy? Sign us up. A regular cash pickup turns into an all-out disaster when they get ambushed. There’s banter, bullets, and some seriously ridiculous moments. It’s silly, chaotic, and just what your midweek evening needs.
Platform: Prime Video
Release Date: August 6
3. Wednesday Season 2 – Part 1
Everyone’s favorite gothic girl is back, and things at Nevermore Academy are even weirder now. Pugsley (her brother) is a new student, Morticia has joined the staff, and Wednesday? Well, she’s still the same brilliant, sarcastic chaos magnet. More mysteries. More trouble. More braids. Let the sleuthing begin.
Platform: Netflix
Release Date: August 6
4. Platonic Season 2
Best friends with no romantic tension? Kinda. Sorta. Maybe not. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are back as two former BFFs trying to keep things “just friendly” in their 40s. This show is like a warm hug with a wine glass in hand — hilarious, awkward, and way too relatable.
Platform: Apple TV+
Release Date: August 6
5. Love Hurts
Imagine leaving your job as a hitman to become a real estate agent — and then your old enemies show up like, “Hey, remember us?” Ke Huy Quan stars in this wild ride about family, regrets, and trying to outrun a past that refuses to stay buried. Action-packed but surprisingly emotional.
Platform: JioHotstar
Release Date: August 7
6. Mickey 17
Robert Pattinson plays Mickey — a clone who’s sent on super risky missions because, well, he can just be replaced. But here’s the twist: Mickey 17 doesn’t actually die, and when he returns, he finds Mickey 18 already doing his job. Clone drama, existential questions, and a whole lot of sci-fi madness.
Platform: JioHotstar
Release Date: August 7
7. Mayasabha
Set against the politically turbulent backdrop of 1990s Andhra Pradesh, Mayasabha tells the story of two friends turned rivals — Chandrababu Naidu and Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy. If you’re into Indian politics, intense drama, and real-life inspired stories, this Telugu series is your next binge.
Platform: SonyLIV
Release Date: August 7
8. Salakaar
A spy thriller with emotional weight. Salakaar follows Adhir, a once-celebrated spymaster whose past mission has now come back to haunt him. Old enemies are closing in, and the line between duty and personal demons starts to blur. With a stellar cast (Naveen Kasturia, Mouni Roy, Mukesh Rishi), this one’s a slow burn that hits hard.
Platform: JioHotstar
Release Date: August 8
9. Stolen: Heist Of The Century
How did a group of ordinary guys manage to pull off one of the world’s biggest diamond heists in 2003? This true-crime doc has all the answers — plus a few “wait, what?” moments. Slick editing, gripping storytelling, and enough twists to make even a thriller blush.
Platform: Netflix
Release Date: August 8
10. Arabia Kadali
A group of fishermen accidentally drift into international waters and end up imprisoned in a foreign land. What follows is a raw, emotional survival story that highlights friendship, grit, and the fight to make it back home. A hidden gem from the Telugu content space.
Platform: Prime Video
Release Date: August 8
