Forbes Innovation Consumer Tech Amazon Prime Video Reveals New Films And TV Shows For August 2023 John Archer Senior Contributor Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Following Jul 30, 2023, 10:16pm EDT | Press play to listen to this article! Got it! Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Amazon has released the full schedule of all the films and TV shows being added to its Prime Video (and Freevee) streaming platform in the US for the month of August 2023. The list of new additions isn’t as long as last month’s , but it still contains a typically wide mix of Amazon Original and third party content with something for pretty much everyone.

Starting with the new Amazon Original TV shows, the main highlights are a new twisty thriller from the mind of Harlan Coben, Shelter , and Australia-set family drama The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart . Shelter (which drops on August 18) tells the story of a man who relocates to suburban New Jersey following the death of his father, only to become tangled up in a mystery involving students who have been going missing from the area for decades. Under-rated fantasy comedy Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves arrives to rent or buy on Amazon .

Another high profile new Amazon Original arrival (from August 11) is Red, White And Royal Blue . Based on The New Yorks Times bestseller of the same name and aimed at a young adult audience, this film charts the way an initially hostile relationship between the US President’s son and a British Prince gradually turns into something very different after they’re forced into an uneasy truce.

Other Amazon Originals for August are New Bandits (from August 18), a Brazilian show about an unhappy bank clerk who suddenly inherits both a fortune and leadership of a criminal gang that’s under attack from all sides; movie Destination NBA: A G League Odyssey (from August 8) which follows the progress of some of the brightest G League prospects during the 2023 season; Thursday Night Football (from August 24), which picks up on Prime Video’s exclusive rights to American Football Thursday night games; and Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity (from August 28), a three-part portrait of jazz giant Wayne Shorter’s life and music. There’s one new original movie coming to Amazon’s Freevee service in August 2023, too.

Puppy Love launches on August 18, and stars Lucy Hale and Grant Gustin in a romantic comedy about a young couple who gradually fall for each other (after a disastrous first date) as they bond over the relationship between their dogs. Switching our focus to the new additions coming to Amazon Prime Video’s TV show and movie catalogue that aren’t new Originals, a number of titles stand out. Cocaine Bear arrives to rent or buy on August 15 fresh from its recent cinema run and does exactly what it says on the tin: Delivers lots of black humour and comedy gore as it tells the tale of what happens when a grizzly bear runs amok after eating a bag of cocaine.

Amazon Original The Lost Flowers Of Alice Hart drops on Prime Video on August 4. Photo: Amazon Originals Also fresh from a wide cinema release is the under-rated and criminally under-seen comedy fantasy movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves . This arrives to rent or buy (or as part of an MGM+ or Paramount+ subscription) on August 25.

Heavy going but ultimately rewarding Oscar nominee Women Talking , based on true events about an isolated religious colony where the women rise up against sexual mistreatment by the men, becomes available to rent or buy (in 4K, no less) from August 29. My pick of the highlights from the latest ‘catalogue’ film titles being added for ‘free’ (within an Amazon Prime subscription), meanwhile, are: Milos Forman’s brilliant, Oscar winning Amadeus (August 1); Billy Crystal’s dated but still funny City Slickers (August 1); Clint Eastwood gritty cop classic Dirty Harry (August 1); excellent sci-fi parody Galaxy Quest (August 1); all of the first six Saw movies (August 1); classic political thriller The Day Of The Jackal (August 1); The Goonies (August 1); and orgasmically good romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally (August 1). Amazon Freevee is also getting a fairly lengthy slate of movie ‘classics’ for August 2023.

Highlights of these, all releasing on August 1, are five of Peter Sellers’ Pink Panther films (though honestly you’d be advised to give the two 1980s ones a miss); the original Jurassic Park and the best of the modern Jurassic Park reboots, Jurassic World; classic British comedy Four Weddings And A Funeral; Stephen Soderbergh’s sophisticated, multi-Oscar winning drug cop drama Traffic ; the ninth instalment of the Fast And Furious franchise; the original Madagascar film (if by some miracle they haven’t seen it already); under-rated Jodie Foster starrer Little Man Tate about a single mother trying to look after a genius child; chaotic Steve Martin comedy Parenthood ; the brilliant 1960 original of The Magnificent Seven ; Alejandro Inarritu’s brutal but mesmerising Oscar Winning epic, The Revenant , about a frontiersman bent on revenge after being left to die following a near-fatal bear attack; and gunfight at the OK Corral dramatisation Tombstone , featuring fantastic turns by Kevin Costner and Val Kilmer. Cocaine Bear delivers a perfect combination of black humour and dismemberment to Amazon Prime Video . .
