A lot has been going on at Netflix.

The streaming giant has become a mecca for Black content, recently teaming up with big names like Shonda Rhimes for a number of upcoming projects. It’s even being reported that Black-ish showrunner Kenya Barris is planning to ditch ABC to join the Netflix family. 

And, while we will have to wait a while for many of these projects to come to fruition, the streaming service has a number of new titles being added in August that should satisfy until LeBron James and Octavia Spencer’s Madam CJ Walker series drops. 

Here are ten titles we recommend checking out and everything else heading to Netflix in August.
