Netflix: What's new in August 2017 from The Defenders and Wet Hot American Summer to Death Note

Also sci-fi thriller What Happened to Monday and Japanese manga adaptation Death Note

As sure as the summer months are rolling on, Netflix is dealing out fresh titles for your viewing pleasure.

After an initial glance over the list of new titles being added to the streaming service this month, a few choice additions stand out - namely The Defenders, the long-awaited union of its four Marvel superheroes, and the eagerly-anticipated reunion of those Wet Hot American Summer campmates.

Another key addition is sci-fi thriller What Happened to Monday starring Noomi Rapace as not one, not two but seven (yes, seven) sisters who live a cat-and-mouse existence pretending to be one person in a dystopian world plagued with overpopulation. Glenn Close and Willem Dafoe also star.

Dafoe also stars in the film adaptation of Japanese manga series Death Note which arrives under the guidance of Blair Witch director Adam Wingard. He voices Ryuk, the demonic creator of the titular book that grants a young man (Nat Wolff) the power to kill anyone by simply writing down their name.
