August is a big month for Netflix that is not only filled with some great choices on the animation front, but it will also see the arrival of the live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. After being imprisoned for many years, Morpheus, the King of Dreams, awakens to take a journey "across worlds to find what was stolen from him and restore his power."
If you'd like to learn more about Netflix's The Sandman, be sure to check out our exclusive look at Dream, Death, and the Demon Lords in our most recent cover story.
Speaking of animation, Netflix will soon be home to Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie alongside the third season of both He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and DOTA: Dragon's Blood. Video game fans will also be happy to know The Cuphead Show! Part 2 and Tekken: Bloodlines will also join Netflix's library in August.
Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy will kick of the month on August 1, and other star-filled projects will join later on like Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart's Me Time and Jamie Foxx's Day Shift. August 10 will see the return of Locke & Key and 13: The Musical and Season 3 of Never Have I Ever will become available two days later.
