Netflix has managed to secure 183 million subscribers. That’s more than the number of viewers Hulu and Disney+ are catering at present. You get to pick from reality TV shows which are mainly every adult’s guilty pleasure to crime documentaries, comedy sitcoms, dramas, and so much more. There’s a genre for every member of your household on Netflix. Every month new titles are added to Netflix’s content directory. And every month, we are excited to find what new content Netflix has to offer to its subscribers. While July gave us the last season of Dark and a handful of anime shows, August 2020 offers us The Rain (Season 3) and Lucifer (Season 5). The surprising part is that the list announced by Netflix for August is still tentative! We can only imagine what other titles are in store for us.
