We take stock of the news for August and the current series to be discovered on Netflix, Canal +, OCS, Amazon or from the United States. This month, the program is quite small but we were still able to shoot a few series that are worth it!
Umbrella Academy season 2 – from July 31 on Netflix
The story of Umbrella Academy :
When their father dies, brothers and sisters with extraordinary powers uncover traumatic family secrets and a terrible threat looming over humanity.
The teaser :
Why watch: The first season was setting the universe up well and we’re waiting to see how season 2 unfolds. Given that in the next episodes we will see the different characters being scattered over time. A good idea which should help maintain interest in the series.
The Fugitive – from August 3 on Quibi
The story of Tea Fugitive :
Los Angeles. Following a bomb attack on a subway train, worker Mike Russo, who was on board with his family, is accused of being the perpetrator of the terrorist act. With his life and the lives of those close to him on hold, Mike must find the true author of this malicious act before legendary police officer Clay Bryce apprehends him …
The teaser :
Why watch: Although the Quibi series have so far struggled to get noticed, on paper projects often look interesting. There, it is especially the fact of finding Kiefer Sutherland in a role “à la 24 hours flat“since he will be the policeman who stalks Mike Ferro (Boyd Holbrook). Enough to take a look.
The 100 season 7 (continued) – from August 5 on The CW
The story of The 100 :

In season 7, the adventure continues on the new world, Sanctum and Planet Alpha.
Episode 10 trailer:
Why watch: Although Season 7 debuted several weeks ago on The CW in the United States, the channel took a hiatus after a tense Episode 9.

With season 7 being the last, every episode is now being scrutinized with interest.

In the racist America of the 1950s, Atticus Black, a young man of 25, embarks with his friend Letitia and his uncle George on a road trip in search of his missing father. On the road, they meet fantastic monsters, as well as very real monsters …
The teaser :
Why watch: Because behind Lovecraft Country There are two names in the production that we no longer present: Jordan Peele and JJ Abrams. With them on board, and HBO for the broadcast, we can expect a quality series that should make an impression, as the trailer attests.
Miracle Workers season 2- from August 18 on Warner TV
The Story of Miracle Workers season 2:

The teaser :
Why watch: Originally Warner TV was to broadcast season 2 of Miracle Workers in April, but due to the pandemic, it is only from August 18 that we can find Daniel Radcliffe in this very good comedy. If the first season took us to paradise, the second will take place in the Middle Ages with an always offbeat tone.

The series promises to be full of mystery and we are always curious to see what is being done elsewhere than in the United States or in France. Here it is a German series created by Christian Ditter, director of Single, instructions for use.
Lucifer season 5 – from August 21 on Netflix
The story of Lucifer :
Tired and dissatisfied with his position as “Lord of the Underworld”, Lucifer Morningstar resigns and abandons the throne of his kingdom for the bubbling and no less impure …
