Here's every new show and movie on Binge in August

Now that the FIFA World Cup is over and the trophy is en route to Spain, many Australians can finally reclaim their televisions from their football-fanatical family members. Thankfully, Binge is bringing the goods this August, with returning comedy favourites like Colin From Accounts (new episodes every week) and The Great Australian Bake Off, as well as all-new television from across the pond, with a new British supernatural thriller Possession on August 27 and the show critics are calling the UK's answer to The White Lotus, Two Weeks in August, both of which will drop all episodes at once on August 27 and August 12, respectively. 

Sports fans can also look to Binge for the AFLW 2026 season kick-off on August 9.

Possession

From the creator of Netflix hit Something Very Bad is Going to Happen , Karla Crome, comes an original five-part thriller starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Loki) and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting). 

When lawyer Claudia (Mbatha-Raw) travels from Bristol to Jamaica to investigate a challenged inheritance claim, she's shocked to learn that the inherited estate in question is none other than Hope Hill, a former slave plantation with connections to Claudia's past and a sinister supernatural energy that seems to possess all who enter.

Possession premieres August 27 on Binge. All five episodes release at once.

How WhistleOut Works

Hamnet

Adapted from Maggie O'Farrell's historical fiction of the same name, Hamnet imagines William and Agnes Shakespeare's relationship, from the moment they meet, to the tragedy they both endure that inspired the play, Hamlet.  

Jessie Buckley's devastating performance as Agnes Shakespeare unsurprisingly earned her the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the Oscars, but the film was up for eight awards in total. At the Golden Globes, Hamnet took home the award for Best Motion Picture in the Drama category, and Jessie Buckley once again took home the award for Best Female Actor. All up, it was nominated for six Golden Globe awards. 

At both events, director Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) was highly praised, as was Max Richter's unforgettable and utterly heartwrenching score.
