August 2021 TV Highlights

I am surprised the end of winter is delivering so many new TV gems. 

First Mr. Corman. I am excited to try out this new Apple TV+ series starring the dreamy Joesph Gordon-Levitt. Last Friday, the first two episodes dropped. Looking forward to checking them out after finishing Hacks on Stan which finally got its Australian premiere. Lucky it's already renewed for a second series. The Jean Smart led comedy is terrific.


Over on Binge Reservation Dogs also dropped its first two episodes. Stargirl also finally returned for its second season, whilst a reboot of the 70's TV show, Fantasy Island also debuted.



On Stan (following on from Hacks) Heels is coming this Sunday. Joining Power Book III, Starz/Stan has an exceptional Sunday line up.

The White Lotus (which has now been upgraded from a mini series) will conclude this Sunday. At least it's back for a second season.

The brilliant Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens also returns next week for its long awaited second season.

The strange, sometimes bat shit crazy Riverdale returns (tonight) for the second half of its fifth season. Good news Riverdale fans, it's returning for a sixth season later this year.

Nine Perfect Strangers airs its first three episodes filmed in Byron next Wednesday on Amazon. So excited for this! Nicole Kidman along with a strong, solid cast who escaped Byron Bay just in time.

The Walking Dead returns for one last zombie kill fest on August 22. Streaming on Foxtel/Binge the same day as the USA.

Whilst I am enjoying American Horror Stories, I am very excited for the tenth season of American Horror Story (titled Double Feature) commencing with a double episode towards the end of the month.

Apple TV+ will see the return of Jason Momoa series See. Apple TV+ is starting to really get some good programming on the platform.
