Reacher, Ted Lasso, and Sterling Point: the series highlights
Reacher is likely to be the main focus of attention in August: The fourth season sends Jack Reacher on another quest for revenge starting August 12. Another real surprise guest is Ted Lasso. The acclaimed comedy series about an American football coach in England has so far been available exclusively on Apple TV+ and will be available on Prime Video for the first time starting August 1.
On August 5, the series *Sterling Point* premieres. It centers on young Annie Jacobson, who inherits her grandfather’s remote island in Canada and uncovers hidden family secrets there. The series was produced, among others, by the creative minds behind the cult series *Gossip Girl*, which—fittingly—will be available in its entirety on the streaming service starting August 3.
From *The Brutalist* to *The Mummy*: Movie Highlights
The selection on the movie page is extensive. The award-winning drama *The Brutalist* will be available starting August 10, followed by the Marvel adaptation *Madame Web* on August 14. Nostalgics will get their fix on August 25: That’s when the entire *Mummy* series—including the 2017 reboot—will be added to the catalog in high definition. Fans of German-language films can look forward to all three installments of *Fack ju Göhte* starting August 23.
Sports fans should mark August 20 on their calendars: The documentary *Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter* traces the professional tennis player’s career—filmed by Jason Hehir, who also directed the acclaimed basketball documentary *The Last Dance *.
Champions League and WNBA: Live Events
In addition to movies and series, Prime Video will also be broadcasting live events in August. The highlight is the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League, with its playoff round airing on August 18 and 25. Basketball fans can look forward to three WNBA games.
