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.

August might be bringing the sunshine – but Netflix will be trying to lure you inside with a new bunch of titles.

This month, as well as the removal of numerous titles, will see returning favourite shows (The Umbrella Academy andEmily in Paris) alongside the British version of the popular reality series Love is Blindand a new spy action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry.

Another new title that seems destined for cult status is Korean suspense thriller The Frog, a series whose synopsis reads: “One tranquil summer, a mysterious woman checks into a vacation rental – triggering events that disrupt the lives of the owner and those around him.”

One month after being added to Netflix, US drama Lost will arrive on the UK version of the streaming service, with the American branch receiving a wealth of TV shows, including Interview with the Vampire and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.

All original titles will be released in both the UK and US – but we have noted the specific territory a film or TV series is arriving in within the licenced titles section.

NB: The Independent has compiled this lsit with assistance from What’s on Netflix.
