Since its arrival here in the Philippines, Netflix has been continuously bringing us great content to stream on our favorite devices. Whether it’s a compelling drama with interesting characters, a thrilling title that keeps us at the edge of our seats, comedies that give us our much-needed dose of laughter, or just anything that keeps us entertained on the couch or on the go, we surely can count on the streaming service’s rich library of shows and movies.
If you’re always on the lookout for Netflix’s latest releases, then look no further! We’ve listed down ten shows and films to anticipate and add to your watchlist this month of August!
When the Sandman, Master of Dreams, disappeared for a century, it changed both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. He then must travel across different worlds and timelines to correct the mistakes he had made.
This Korean action film follows a man who wakes up with no memories and must complete a dangerous mission orchestrated by a mysterious voice from a device in his ear.
This anthology series from Thailand tells eight terrifying tales set in school: A girl jumping to her death; a haunted library; canteen food made from human flesh; a headless ghost in the school warehouse; a devil-infested room; a vengeful demon in an abandoned building; and a classroom where only dead students attend class.
This film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical follows preteen Evan Goldman who navigates the complex social circles of his new school to pull off the coolest party for his Bar Mitzvah.
A new teaser trailer for Netflix’s stop-motion musical, Pinocchio, has been released!
We now get a better look at director Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson’s take on the classic tale, with the trailer finally featuring Pinocchio and his father, Gepetto. Watch the new teaser trailer for Pinocchio below:
The first teaser trailer for Pinocchiowas released in January but only revealed the Talking Cricket. Now, the new trailer shows us the grieving woodcarver Gepetto and the wooden boy he carved and treated as a son, Pinocchio. It also teased a story about “loss and love”, and a story that “you may think you know, but you don’t.”
While most may know the story of Pinocchio from Disney’s classic film, which is also getting its own live-action film this year, fans of Del Toro may expect that this story would be more loyal to the original source material, the novel by Italian author Carlo Collodi.
The voice cast of the film includes Ewan McGregor as the Cricket, David Bradley as Geppetto, Gregory Mann as Pinocchio, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Tim Blake Nelson, Burn Gorman, Christoph Waltz, and Tilda Swinton.
The film will be released on Netflix and in select theaters sometime in December this year.

New lies are made, new secrets surface, and a new generation of Liars must uncover the truth behind the bloody murders committed by the new A in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, streaming on HBO GO this July 28.
Instead of a full reboot, Original Sin is set in the universe of the original Pretty Little Liars series, with the events taking place in the town of Millwood where new characters face a mysterious menace familiar to fans. This time, the teens are pursued by a new killer taking the alias of A, for the secrets that their mothers have kept since they were teens themselves.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnXgKHt—w
What’s no longer a secret about Original Sin is that our very own Lea Salonga stars in the show as Elodie, the mother of one of the latest Liars, Minnie “Mouse” Honrada. Elodie is described as an overbearing mother who is trying to keep her daughter safe from past trauma.
Salonga’s on-screen daughter Mouse is played by Filipino-American actress Malia Pyles. The cast also includes Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Maia Reficco, Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Elena Goode, Eric Johnson, and Alex Aiono.
We recently had a chat with Salonga and Pyles in a virtual roundtable interview where the two stars shared details about the show, their characters, and more. Check out the highlights of the interview below:
Malia, how excited were you when you heard that Lea was playing your mother in the series?
Malia: I’ve been gushing about her in all of these interviews. But seriously, you can go back on my Instagram– I don’t know if I’ve shared this with you, Lea– I made a post for International Women’s Day, I would say in 2016 or 2017. And in that post, where I was posting pictures about the women that inspire me, one of those photos was of you.
Courtesy of HBO GO / HBO Max
I definitely didn’t have to have a lesson about who Lea was. First of all, I’m a huge Disney princess fan. Also, [Les Miserables] was the soundtrack of my childhood. My parents didn’t raise me on normal music, they raised me on [theater music]. So Les Miserables and Miss Saigon, those two roles, they meant everything to me. And to get to a point in my career where I had the opportunity to work with her, especially to work so intimately with her, it’s just a dream come true, really.
Lea, were you able to inject your own parenting style into the role of Elodie?
Lea: It’s not so much that I have a lot of the freedom to do whatever I wanted, because the character is the character. I think her parenting is a result of this character’s circumstances and what she has been through as a younger person. So all of that will be made much more clear, and I think then we will understand why all of these characters are the way that they are, as a result of things that happened in their lives as younger people[…] But I think there will always be some sort of instinctive maternal thing anyway that will just kick in regardless of whatever this character is doing.
Malia, how did it feel to transition into the thriller or horror genre?
Malia: I am a huge fan of horror and slasher, and so I was so ready to sink my teeth into this. And I felt so supported by our creative team. We came into rehearsals and our director for episodes 1 and 2, she had a storyboard for us and it depicted a lot of different elements of horror as well as different references to horror films, and so it was clear to me that this was a very visual medium that I was getting myself into.
Courtesy of HBO GO / HBO Max
In tandem with the delicate and nuanced issues that we cover, there’s also this huge external horror that follows and terrorizes these girls and their families, and so it’s really lovely to find the balance of that. I think when exploring trauma so intimately, it’s been helpful to have the horror medium as the backdrop because it almost makes that internal horror that these girls are experiencing more tangible.
I know growing up and coming of age in high school, everything feels so big and impossible at times, and so it was just a testament to how smart our creative team was, exploring this known IP with a different lens. I think it just heightened all the drama so much so in a really beautiful way. And it’s really fun as an actor, and also just as a viewer of drama and horror.
Lea, what made you decide to join the project and how did you get the role of Elodie?
Lea: In this case, I had to actually audition, so it was not like ‘Would you like to take this role?’ It wasn’t like served on a plate. I don’t know how many actors were up for this, but I know it was the beginning of September, I auditioned for it, and sent everything to my manager who then sent everything to the creative team to see if I would be the right person for it.
Courtesy of HBO GO / HBO Max
There might have been something that I did [when I was a teenager] that had some mystery and some detective work and some horror in it, but that was so long ago. Certainly nothing like this, for something like HBO. This is something, I guess, new, and I don’t think I’m an actor that’s necessarily associated with scary things? As I’m normally associated with things made for families or for children, or big musicals where there is a tragedy but not necessarily something like this. I think it’s just one of those things that I just totally left out when I auditioned for it.
And I’m somebody that tends not to choose horror as an audience because I watched The Ring, and that kept me up for so many nights that it ruined the horror genre for me. So it’s kind of karmic, that I ended up on an HBO show that’s horror, slasher, and frightening. It just happened that way, and I just feel very very fortunate.
Lea, aside from the original series, and you and Malia’s involvement in the series, what do you think will make the show appeal to Filipino viewers?
Lea: First of all, there are four of us Filipinos in the show. Besides myself and Malia, we have Emily Bautista and Sharon Leal who is actually one of the mothers– she’s not playing Filipino but she is Filipino. She’s really Filipino, and in our conversations on set, it’s very obvious that she’s Filipino, at least it’s obvious to me.
Second, even though this is a horror-slasher show, at the center of it, there are these five young women, and how their own families figure in this show. We see mother-daughter dynamics from all of them, from all of these young women, and their mothers are very much involved.
Courtesy of HBO GO / HBO Max
We see that there’s dysfunction within families. That there are secrets that mothers keep from their children and vice versa. You know when you’re growing up and you’re a teenager, I remember thinking there are things that I have to keep from my mom. And as I get older and as I’m having conversations with my mother, I’m like ‘How on Earth did I not know this?’
So I think what’s going to appeal to us Filipinos, is watching how these families and how the members of each of these families interact with one another. And how one member of the family affects another, and how trauma affects one generation versus another, and how each of these families deals with this common enemy, that they have to figure out how to combat[…] We love family drama, and there’s an abundance of that here.
Malia, were you able to watch the original series, and did you pick up any pointers when working on this new show?
Malia: I was a big fan, it came out when I was 10. So I was definitely at an age where maybe I should not have been watching it? But I think what the original show does really well is that it does deliver truth and adult themes among these teen girls who are discovering things about themselves and there’s something deeply relatable about that for all ages.
So I remember growing up and watching it, and just thinking how beautiful and iconic these girls were. Also for me in particular, I’m queer and I’m also Filipino, so Shay Mitchell had a huge impact on me, being a Filipina and also playing a queer character. I think it resonated so deeply with me and so it’s been incredible to be able to fill those shoes, in one way or another– continue that Filipina representation in this show, in this universe in particular. And now it’s not [like before when] Shay was the only person of color onscreen in that show. We have such a diverse cast, and we’re representing so many different stories, and it’s been really lovely to not only be able to be something for my people but then also learn from these other girls, and their backgrounds, and where they come from.
It’s really cool, and also just getting to call myself a Liar, it’s just been a dream of a lifetime.

The adorable Guardian of the Galaxy, Baby Groot, is setting out on an adventure of his own in a series of shorts in Disney+’s I Am Groot!
In its first trailer revealed over the weekend during the San Diego Comic-Con 2022, we get to see Groot back in his “baby” stage, encountering other life forms that are just as adorable as him! Watch the trailer for I Am Groot below:
Baby Groot first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, grown from a sapling that was left of the original Groot’s body. The tiny tree-like creature then turned into “Teen Groot” in Avengers: Infinity War, and assisted Rocket Raccoon and Thor in their mission to forge a new weapon in Nidavellir.
I Am Groot is comprised of five original shorts streaming on Disney+ starting August 10. The much-awaited arrival of Disney’s streaming platform here in the Philippines is still yet to be announced.
The finale trailer for “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” featuring Coco Martin top trended on Twitter with netizens flooding social media, marking the end of an era for an iconic cop character, Cardo Dalisay (Coco), that is beloved by millions of Filipino viewers.
Coco, whose announcement on social media earned more than two million views since its release, formally announced that the longest-running Philippine teleserye that has captured the hearts and minds of millions of Filipino people for almost seven years is nearing its end.
“Mga ka-Probinsyano, dumating na po ang oras. Ang programang minahal ninyo ng pitong taon ay nalalapit na po ang pagtatapos,” Coco said in the video.
He adds, “Malungkot man na tayo’y maghihiwalay, pero walang hanggang pasasalamat ang aming nararamdaman. Nagbago man ang mundo, nandyan pa rin kayo. Kahit man po matapos ang teleseryeng ito, hinding-hindi po matatapos ang pagmamahal namin sa inyo.”
The trailer also gave a sneak-peak to the action-packed last three weeks of the series. It shows Cardo, Task Force Agila, and president Oscar (Rowell Santiago) bolstering their forces for their most dangerous and biggest mission ever – to arrest Lily (Lorna Tolentino) and regain control over the government.
The adrenaline-pumping scenes also show Cardo and Task Force Agila drawing their guns against corrupt police officials in an impending do-or-die bloodbath, which could eventually be their final face-off.
Fans stormed social media to express their sentiments over the viral “Ang Pambansang Pagtatapos” trailer, with “Ang Probinsyano” and “Cardo” quickly rising to the trending topics on Twitter Philippines.
Netizens also shared their appreciation for “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” which has provided action-packed entertainment to viewers and imparted many valuable lessons throughout its historic seven-year journey.
“‘Ang Probinsyano’ is ending in three weeks. We all joke about its never-ending plot, but we gotta admit that it became a huge part of the Filipino household’s routing. Kudos to the whole team. Honestly, it’s gonna be hard to top a teleserye with this popularity and success,” tweeted @Rizz_Rianne.
“FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano may have its final episode on August 12, but the show’s impact to its viewers within 7 years will always last in their hearts and minds,” said @AltKpmlyNovelas.
Don’t miss “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano: Ang Pambansang Pagtatapos” weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, CineMo, iWantTFC, and Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page. Viewers who use any digital TV box at home such as the TVplus box only need to rescan their device to be able to watch “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” on TV5 and A2Z. “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” is also available to viewers in and out of the Philippines on iWantTFC, while viewers outside of the Philippines can watch on The Filipino Channel (TFC) on cable and IPTV.
