Planning your streaming month? Netflix has laid out its August 2026 lineup for Malaysia, and it leans into romance, family drama and a run of documentaries, with fresh titles landing almost every week. Here is what is worth marking on the calendar.
Early August: romance, thrills and a war drama
The month opens quickly. Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy arrives on 5 August, a documentary that digs into food culture and the fast food industry. Then 7 August brings a cluster of releases on a single day.
Leading the month is Our Sticky Love, a Korean romantic comedy about an ambitious prosecutor who loses her memory and ends up living with a boxing coach who insists he is her boyfriend. Sharing the same date is The Last House, a survival thriller about a family mysteriously trapped inside their own home, and Operation Safed Sagar, which follows an Air Force squadron on a dangerous mission during the Kargil War. For lighter viewing, Ricky Gervais Alley Cats, an animated comedy from Ricky Gervais, lands the same day.
Mid-month: biopics, comedy and a football icon
MOURINHO, a documentary on the football manager, streams from 11 August. On 14 August, Moria reimagines the life of Argentine icon Moria Casán, while Don’t Say Good Luck follows a high school musical star whose biggest drama unfolds offstage. The same day brings My Best Friend, His Girlfriend and Me, a comedy about love and the tangles that come with it.
Late August: documentaries and mysteries
Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing arrives on 19 August, examining one of aviation’s biggest controversies. For viewers who prefer suspense, Blood Sacrifice (20 August) and The Whisper Man (28 August) close the month with tense mysteries built around secrets, serial killers and psychological twists. Rounding things off, All the Truth in My Lies (28 August) offers more comedy and romance.
The takeaway
August is a steady month rather than a blockbuster one, with a title or two for most tastes across K-drama romance, documentary and thriller. Everything above is listed for Netflix in Malaysia, so it is an easy month to spread across a few weekends. Check the Netflix app for exact availability, as some titles and dates can vary by region.
