Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

• The nine-episode She-Hulk begins August 17 on Disney+ Hotstar
• House of the Dragon premieres August 22 on Disney+ Hotstar
• Never Have I Ever season 3 drops all episodes August 12 on Netflix

In August, seemingly every major Hollywood franchise has a new TV series on offer. Marvel Studios unveils a new green monster in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, debuting August 17 on Disney+ Hotstar. DC Comics, meanwhile, has the John Cena-led Peacemaker — it arrives August 14 on Amazon Prime Video in India, over half a year after its US premiere. August also heralds the return of Westeros on TV, as the first Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon begins August 22 on Disney+ Hotstar. And while Star Wars was set to drop Rogue One spin-off Andor at the very end of the month, it’s now been pushed to September.

From India, both Netflix and Prime Video have announced one original as yet. The former gives us the second season of the International Emmy-winning Delhi Crime, with the police drama series returning August 26. As for the latter, it has a Kota coaching institute coming-of-age drama in Crash Course — but it’s not like Kota Factory, as I will tell you in a minute. Crash Course drops all episodes August 5 on Netflix. There is another coming-of-age web series in August that features Indians, or rather people of Indian origin. Never Have I Ever — the Mindy Kaling-created comedy series — is back for its third season August 12 on Netflix.

There are a lot more TV shows coming out in August. The Sandman — a live-action adaptation of one of the greatest graphic novels of all time — is one you should definitely keep an eye on. You can learn more about it below. And beyond the eight shows featured below, you can discover even more upcoming web series on our dedicated page. Prime Video has multiple seasons of Doom Patrol and Raised by Wolves in August, Netflix has The Walking Dead’s latest season, Disney+ Hotstar has another Marvel title with Guardians of the Galaxy, and Apple TV+ has two new series, alongside the end of a third one with Jason Momoa.

With that, here’s our TV shows and web series guide for August 2022.

Crash Course

When: August 5
Where: Amazon Prime Video

Seemingly not happy with Netflix buying Kota Factory, Amazon has commissioned one of its own. Though going by the trailer, this one is clearly infusing more drama into the proceedings. Teenagers are beating each other for reasons not entirely clear. One of the students might be getting too close to a staff member. And Annu Kapoor — who plays Arvind Batra, the head of a coaching institute — is shouting at the top of his lungs, declaring he can’t tolerate being second.

Stuck between Batra and Ratanraj Jindal (the guy who owns a rival institute) are eight new students who have come to Kota with mighty dreams and ambitions. But as the pressure and competition get to them, cracks start to appear in their friendships, first loves turn into heartbreaks, and — in what feels ripped from headlines — lives are put at risk. Crash Course is promising a coming-of-age series against the backdrop of adults bickering over who earns the most money.

Manish Hariprasad — an associate producer on Chennai Express and No One Killed Jessica — is the creator and writer on Crash Course. Gully Boy actor Vijay Maurya directs all 10 episodes, which are available together at once on August 5.

The Sandman

Neil Gaiman’s seminal comic book — regarded as one of the greatest graphic novels of all time — is finally coming to our TV screens. The 10-episode first season is expected to cover the first two volumes, “Preludes and Nocturnes” and “The Doll’s House”, which make up the first 16 issues. The Sandman ran for 75 issues, published between 1988 and 1996.

Like the comics, The Sandman follows Dream (Tom Sturridge), who is the personification of dreams and stories. After escaping a 105-year-long imprisonment at the hands of a group of black magic occultists, Dream sets out to reclaim his lost equipment and to restore order in his Kingdom of Dreaming. That involves confronting rogue dreams who escaped during his absence.

Gaiman helped update The Sandman for modern times, which includes Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones) playing Hell ruler Lucifer Morningstar, Vivienne Acheampong as gender-flipped Dreaming librarian Lucienne, Boyd Holbrook as nightmare-on-the-run The Corinthian, and Charles Dance as charlatan occultist Sir Roderick Burgess.

Asim Chaudhry and Sanjeev Bhaskar play Dreaming residents Abel and Cain, while Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, and Donna Preston are set as Dream’s siblings Death, Desire, and Despair. Jenna Coleman, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Kyo Ra, Razane Jammal, and Stephen Fry also have roles in The Sandman. Mark Hamill and Patton Oswalt lend their vocal talents.

Gaiman co-developed the Netflix series with David S. Goyer (Apple TV+’s Foundation) and Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman). Mike Barker (To Kill a King), Mairzee Almas (Shadow and Bone), Andrés Baiz (Narcos), Coralie Fargeat (Revenge), Louise Hooper (Flesh and Blood), and Jamie Childs (His Dark Materials) are among the directors’ line-up.

All 10 episodes of The Sandman are available August 5 on Netflix.

Never Have I Ever season 3

When: August 12
Where: Netflix

Now that Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and Paxton (Darren Barnet) are officially dating, her social status is skyrocketing at Sherman Oaks High School. But some girls can’t believe it, and in turn, Devi starts to question her own relationship. As Devi realises her problems aren’t over, a new Indian-American boy enters the scene: Des (Anirudh Pisharody).

Meanwhile, her friends Eleanor (Ramona Young) and Fabiola (Lee Rodriguez) are dealing with own problems, including the everyday pressures of high school. Poorna Jagannathan (Devi’s mother), Richa Moorjani (Devi’s cousin Kamala), and Jaren Lewison (Ben) are all back too — and the trailer reveals that Devi’s nani (K.T. Thangavelu) will feature too.

Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher return as head writers, with Fisher also serving as showrunner. Never Have I Ever has already been renewed for a fourth and final season, set to premiere in 2023.

All 10 episodes of Never Have I Ever season 3 are out August 12.

Peacemaker

When: August 14
Where: Amazon Prime Video

Seven months on from its American premiere, the spin-off series centred on John Cena’s titular jingoistic killer — first introduced on last year’s soft-reboot The Suicide Squad movie — is coming to an OTT platform in India. (That also means you can enjoy the viral, glorious Peacemaker intro for yourself as it was meant to be seen.)

Peacemaker is set following the events of that movie, in which he was considered dead but miraculously brought back in a post-credits scene. After recovering at the hospital, Christopher “Peacemaker” Smith (Cena) is forced to join black ops squad Project Butterfly that is on a mission to eliminate parasitic butterfly-like creatures who have taken over human bodies.

Danielle Brooks co-stars as Amanda Waller’s daughter Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as self-proclaimed sociopathic crimefighter Adrian Chase/ Vigilante, Chukwudi Iwuji as Project Butterfly leader Clemson Murn, Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee as special agents Emilia Harcourt and John Economos respectively, and Robert Patrick as Peacemaker’s racist father August Smith/ White Dragon.

The only good thing about the long wait is that you don’t have to wait between new episodes. All eight Peacemaker episodes are available August 14 on Prime Video.

A second season is already in the works, with James Gunn — director on The Suicide Squad, and creator her — set to write and direct all episodes. More The Suicide Squad spin-off series are also in the works, Gunn has revealed.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

When: August 17
Where: Disney+ Hotstar

The next chapter of the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe centres on Hulk/ Bruce Banner’s (Mark Ruffalo) lawyer cousin. After accidentally being contaminated with his blood, single attorney Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) must balance her newfound powers and her legal casework. As Bruce notes in the She-Hulk trailer, being a Hulk is all about balance — and spandex.

In addition to Ruffalo and Maslany, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law also stars Jameela Jamil as Titania, who also has incredible strength and becomes Walters’ rival, Ginger Gonzaga as Walters’ best friend Nikki Ramos, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/ Abomination returning from The Incredible Hulk, and Benedict Wong as Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme.

Lastly, Charlie Cox returns as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil, after a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Jessica Gao (Rick and Morty, Corporate) is the creator and head writer on the new Marvel series. Kat Coiro (Marry Me, Girls5Eva) directs all nine half-hour episodes.

New She-Hulk episodes will air weekly on Disney+ Hotstar, until October 12.

House of the Dragon

When: August 22
Where: Disney+ Hotstar

Game of Thrones is back. Well, in a manner of speaking. Set two centuries before that HBO epic, the first Game of Thrones spin-off follows the Targaryen family, as you can no doubt tell from the title. More specifically, it follows the beginning of their end, thanks to a war of succession that was referred to as Dance of the Dragons in the history books — and on Thrones too.

In fact, House of the Dragon is based on an in-world history book, Fire & Blood, penned by George R.R. Martin himself. Unlike his A Song of Ice and Fire novels, it’s not written in prose. Think of it as an encyclopaedia of sorts. The new Thrones spin-off series is based entirely on the second half of Fire & Blood, which is the first of two planned volumes.

House of the Dragon primarily follows King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), his firstborn Princess Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy/ Milly Alcock), his brother Prince Daemon (Matt Smith), Hand of the King Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), his daughter Lady Alicent (Olivia Cooke/ Emily Carey), “Sea Snake” Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint), and his wife Princess Rhaenys Velaryon (Eve Best.)

Martin created the series with Ryan J. Condal (Colony), with the latter serving as co-showrunner alongside Miguel Sapochnik, a Game of Thrones veteran. Sapochnik has directed multiple episodes on House of the Dragon season 1, including the first episode. Ramin Djawadi, another Thrones alum, serves as the background score composer.

New House of the Dragon episodes will air weekly on Disney+ Hotstar, starting August 22.

Delhi Crime season 2

Over three years after an acclaimed first season, the International Emmy-winning police drama is back. Upon their return, DCP Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah) and her two close associates — newly-promoted Neeti Singh (Rasika Dugal) and Bhupendra Singh (Rajesh Tailang) — are chasing after a “heinous gang of killers” who are targeting the capital city’s “vulnerable senior citizens.”

Adil Hussain, Anurag Arora, Sidharth Bhardwaj, Gopal Dutt, Tillotama Shome, and Jatin Goswami also return on Delhi Crime season 2. There’s a creative shake-up behind the scenes. Delhi Crime creator Richie Mehta is out, with Tanuj Chopra (Punching at the Sun) taking over as director and showrunner. Gullak, Bard of Blood, Ghost Stories, and The Forgotten Army writers provide the screenplay.

All Delhi Crime season 2 episodes will be available August 26 on Netflix.

Hawkeye Episode 6 Recap: MCU’s Most Pointless Series Bids Adieu

Hawkeye episode 6 — out now on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — put a neat albeit predictable bow on a humdrum Marvel series, the smallest of the lot we’ve gotten so far. The Tom Hiddleston-led Loki was seismic due to its multiverse angle. The Elizabeth Olsen-starrer WandaVision was innovative and brilliant at times. And The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, dealt with some big ideas even though it failed to deliver. The only debate I’ll have about Hawkeye, now that it’s done, is which was Marvel’s most forgettable series in 2021. The contest is between the last two, if that wasn’t already clear and obvious. Farewell Hawkeye, you will not be missed.

Given where the Hawkeye series finale left us, it’s unclear where the new Hawkeye Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) goes from here. Hawkeye episode 6 gave us nothing to suggest her future (though it does seem like the end for Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton/ Hawkeye). Sure, there was a post-credits scene in Hawkeye episode 6 but it was entirely useless. An extended song and dance sequence from Rogers: The Musical? Honestly, this seems like discarded B-roll footage (it has none of the main cast) that Marvel figured they could put at the end as like “happy holidays” material.

Aside from introducing Kate to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hawkeye‘s only other major purpose was to lead into the Echo spin-off series starring Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez. Hawkeye episode 6 set her up for a brighter future albeit with red in her ledger, as Maya ended the episode with a clean slate by killing the ones who were controlling her.

You could argue that it transitioned Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) into her next MCU chapter too, having made peace with Clint and her sister Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow’s (Scarlett Johansson) death. I had imagined her conflict with Clint to be the most stupid subplot given how easily it could be resolved, but Pugh is fun to have around, I must admit. And oh, lastly, Hawkeye episode 6 confirmed an intriguing backstory for Clint’s wife Laura Barton (Linda Cardellini): she was Agent 19 at SHIELD in a past life.

Hawkeye episode 6 — titled “So This Is Christmas?”, directed by Rhys Thomas, and written by Jonathan Igla and Elisa Climent — opens with the proper return of Wilson Fisk/ Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) who was merely glimpsed in a CCTV image last week on Hawkeye episode 5. Kate’s mother Eleanor Bishop (Vera Farmiga) is in his office to see him. She tells the audience (Fisk already knows) that she was orchestrating everything: Armand III’s death and Jack taking the fall for Sloan. She’s paid the debt her husband owed tenfold. Now, Eleanor wants out. Fisk warns her that what she is starting won’t end well, but she refuses and leaves.

Kate gets the video of their conversation from Yelena, just as she got the incriminating photo on Hawkeye episode 5. Maybe Fisk should do something about having perfectly-placed cameras in his office — and if he really wants them, then have better intranet security. Anyway, Kate is worried what will happen to her mother whom she has always thought of as completely innocent. Kate wants Clint to leave as this is her mess. But Clint finally says in Hawkeye episode 6 what he has been avoiding all season: Kate is his partner. Hence, he’s not going anywhere until this is done.

Back to Fisk in Hawkeye episode 6 who is getting a visit from Maya — with Kazi (Fra Fee) also present, serving as interpreter sometimes. She tells Fisk that she’s done chasing ghosts. Fisk thinks it’s quite the turnaround though he doesn’t grill her. Maya asks for a couple of days off to clear her head and leaves. Fisk is not happy with what’s happening in his city. The Ronin is roaming around, an Avenger has taken interest in their business, Eleanor quit on him, and now Maya is turning on them. Fisk asks Kazi to teach the city a lesson.

Elsewhere in Hawkeye episode 6, Clint and Kate are travelling in the metro. Clint says they need a ton of gear to prepare for the big party tonight. He then reveals he’s going to make more trick arrows — and Kate is naturally taken aback. As they make more trick arrows, Clint gives her some lessons on the superhero business: the job is inconvenient, you’ve to make tough decisions, blah blah the standard stuff. In return, Kate finally gives him the whole spiel about how inspired she was by him. She saw him jumping off rooftops and fighting aliens with stick and a string — and she knew being a hero isn’t just for those who can fly or shoot lasers, it’s for anyone who can bear the cost.

Hawkeye episode 6 then arrives at the Bishop Christmas party. Everyone involved in the series is gathering. The Tracksuit Mafia is here to teach Eleanor a lesson. Clint and Kate are there to protect Eleanor. To help with that, they have embedded LARPers as the butlers and servers. Yelena is there to kill Clint. And obviously, Eleanor and Jack Duquesne (Tony Dalton) are there.

As Eleanor arrives, Kate confronts her mother with the incriminating video. Eleanor tells her daughter that she has everything under control. Sure, you do. Outside, Kazi starts shooting at Hawkeye — this leads to an evacuation of the party. As Clint makes his way to a different part of the building, Yelena follows him. Kate soon catches up with her in an attempt to stop her from reaching Clint. They get into some jokey fights in the elevator, where Hawkeye episode 6 reveals that Kate is wearing her new purple suit underneath her Christmas party attire.

Yelena finally gets rid of Kate, jumps out the window, and down to the ground floor. Kate somewhat foolishly follows her but lands safely. To her dismay in Hawkeye episode 6, she’s met by the incoming Tracksuits. She deals with a few — including the guy whom she gave girlfriend advice to and is now pointing a gun at her — before Jack shows up to help with his sword. Meanwhile inside, Clint is confronted by Kazi. They get into a proper fist fight, and just as Clint is done with Kazi, the Tracksuits arrive to kill him. Hawkeye jumps out the window only to end up in a big Christmas tree.

Hawkeye episode 6 takes us to Maya for a second who is shown to be packing a bag. So, I guess she is taking off? Or planning to join the Christmas party?

Back where the action is, the helpful LARPers get in their costume finally, tired of no one listening to their directions. And suddenly everyone starts listening to their directions. Okay, funny.

Meanwhile in Hawkeye episode 6, Kate is trying to get Clint out of the tree even though he’s happy just hanging out with an owl he met and tells her to not do anything stupid. Predictably, she does something stupid as the giant tree falls on the ice rink — but thankfully, Clint lands and falls out safe. As a lot more Tracksuits arrive, Kate slides in and affords them a bit of smokescreen with her archery skills. Clint then takes away the Tracksuits’ guns by using another trick arrow. He then reveals to Kate (and the audience) that he has worn the purple costume too.

Post that, ‘tis the season for trick arrows on Hawkeye episode 6, as Clint and Kate indulge in all sorts of cool stuff. Eventually, a few of the remaining Tracksuits try to run them over with one of their vans — but just in time Kate uses one of the Pym (Ant-Man) arrows that makes the vehicle super tiny and harmless. As Kate wonders what happens to the people inside, the owl from before swoops, picks up the van, and flies away. Okay then.

With all the minions out of the way on Hawkeye episode 6, it’s time for the return of the mid-tier boss: Kazi. Hawkeye fires an arrow at him but Kazi catches in. He’s about to snipe him in response — but Yelena grabs and takes out Hawkeye, and Maya comes in and gives Kazi something else to think about. Clint tells Yelena that she wouldn’t believe him even if he told her the truth: that her sister Natasha sacrificed herself to save the world. Yelena thinks he’s lying (predictable) and the fight goes on.

Hawkeye episode 6 brings us back to the AWOL Eleanor who is trying to escape but is confronted by Fisk. Kate also arrives in time to deal with him but he easily brushes away her arrows and throws her to the ground. Then somehow magically, Eleanor gets in the driving seat and rams Fisk into the store. Where did she come from? That makes no sense. Is Fisk gone? Because that was one short role then lol.

Elsewhere, Maya and Kazi’s fight ends with Kazi stabbed and in Maya’s arms. Back to Fisk who is fine (um okay) and now duking it out with Kate again. She’s clearly no match for him. He takes all her arrows and easily snaps them in half. But Kate finally deals with Fisk by using the flick trick Clint taught her. That activates a bunch of broken arrow heads that are lying under Fisk’s feet. Cue a big explosion and Fisk lying on the ground. Is he actually gone now? Or is that another fake out by Hawkeye episode 6? Outside, Kate confronts her mother with all the things she did. Eleanor says she did it all to protect Kate — but she lets the police take her anyway.

Meanwhile, Yelena is busy punching Clint in Hawkeye episode 6, who keeps repeating the truth even though she won’t believe him. Finally, Yelena demands why Nat would sacrifice herself for Clint: why do you deserve it? Clint says he doesn’t and that he tried to stop her. Yelena says that he should’ve fought harder then, as she beats him up more. Yelena is about to put a bullet in Clint when he starts whistling the tune Nat used to whistle with Yelena. You know, the one from Black Widow. Yelena wonders how he knew, and Clint says Nat talked about her all the time. Yelena starts crying, and says she could’ve stopped her. She made her choice, Clint says, nothing could’ve stopped her. As they both express their love for Nat, Yelena helps Clint get up and walks away.

Indeed, Hawkeye episode 6 did another Kingpin fake-out. As the police step into the store, he’s nowhere to be found. Fisk, having somehow survived again, is leaving via a back alley. But he is found by Maya and you know what is about to happen. She’s figured out that Fisk had her father killed (as Clint told her on Hawkeye episode 5) and that Kazi was involved in the setup. Maya pulls a gun on Fisk who tries to save himself by claiming they are family — but she shoots him point blank.

Kate and Clint share another moment by the ambulance in Hawkeye episode 6. First, he toys with her about how she performed but then gives her a sincere compliment too. Yay, more bonding. As the camera pans away from the scene, Clint tells her that they have to walk the dog.

Cut to Christmas Day and Clint arriving back home with presents. But he’s not alone, Kate and Pizza Dog are with him. Clint and his wife Laura hug — it’s the first time they have been ogether on screen in Hawkeye, that’s nice. Clint then gives Laura the watch that was so important. As she flips it around, we see the SHIELD logo and the number 19 embossed underneath. I’m guessing that means Laura was onec Agent 19. You have to take better care of your stuff, Clint tells her. It’s like Clint is inviting the comeback, as Laura tells him that he’s one to talk. She means the Ronin costume, if you didn’t get it.

Speaking of, Clint takes Kate in the back to burn the Ronin suit on a barbecue grill. As they walk back to the house, Kate runs possible aliases for herself: Lady Hawk, Hawk Eve, Hawk Shot. But Clint turns them all down. He says he has an idea, just as the Hawkeye title card jumps in. You get his idea, right?

Hawkeye episode 6 is now streaming on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar. This was the series finale.
