Happy (almost) August! As we hurtle towards the end of summer, Netflix is adding a ton of new movies and TV shows for you to stream.

On the movie side, keep an eye out for vampire action flick Day Shift, high octane thriller Carter, and coming-of-age musical 13. New TV includes the highly anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, as well as Season 3 of both Never Have I Ever and Locke & Key. And if you're in the mood for more superhero action, get excited: Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy hits Netflix August 1.

Get ready for all those titles and so much more. Here's everything new coming to Netflix in August.

If you haven't watched the first two seasons of Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher's delightful teen comedy Never Have I Ever, consider this your sign to get caught up before the release of Season 3. Never Have I Ever is sharp, hilarious, and poignant, balancing its main characters' high school hijinks with a serious exploration of grief and adolescent angst.

Season 3 is no different. Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) is now dating her dream guy, Paxton (Darren Barnet), but her life definitely isn't perfect. Between family drama and her own insecurities, Devi still has a lot of growing to do. And as always, it's a genuine pleasure to watch.

How to watch: Never Have I Ever Season 3 is streaming Aug. 12 on Netflix.
