Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Another month, another busy four weeks for Netflix.
The streaming service has a string of new television shows and films that users will be able to add to their watchlist over the coming weeks.
While somewhat lower on the high-profile original releases, August has plenty of titles people will no doubt be discussing.
These range from the long-awaited return of Lucifer – the show’s first batch of episodes following its cancellation by Fox – and the third season of US property series Selling Sunset.
Netflix has also acquired hit YouTube series Cobra Kai, a beloved Karate Kid spinoff, and will also release documentary Rising Phoenix, which sees elite athletes and insiders reflect on the Paralympic Games for an examination of how they impact a global understanding of disability and diversity.
Available to stream as part of the streaming service’s licenced content will be American History X, starring Edward Norton, Shia LaBeouf film The Peanut Butter Falcon and sci-fi horror Upgrade, a sci-fi horror from The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell.
