What’s New to Stream This Week? Catch These Drops on Apple TV Plus, Netflix and More [CNET]
Netflix is bringing back the raunchy high school coming-of-age comedy with Incoming, a show about a group of freshman who grow up quickly when they attend their first big, debaucherous party. On Prime Video, a different kind of high school story unfolds on the new series Classified, about an American girl sent to live in South Africa and find her way in a new school there. Hulu‘s got a new season of the legal drama Reasonable Doubt, which was created by Scandal writer Raamla Mohamed; new episodes of that show are out this Thursday.
This week, Pachinko is also back on Apple TV Plus for season two. Based on the novel by Min Jin Lee, the series picks up where season one left off and continues the decades-spanning tale of a Korean family living in Japan during the 20th century.
Over on Peacock, you can check out the full series drop of the classic crime series Homicide: Life on the Street and tune into the Love Island USA reunion, both are out on Aug. 19 or catch the new action movie The Killer starring Nathalie Emmanuel on Aug. 23. On Max, Kevin Costner’s years-in-the-making epic Horizon: An American Saga Chapter One arrives this week, too.

Incoming (Aug. 23)
The new Netflix film Incoming is hoping to bring back the raunchy high school comedy; the film’s premise about four high school freshman attending their first big rager is partially based on the real-life experience of writer-directors Dave and John Chernin.
The young cast of the film includes Mason Thames, Ramon Reed, Raphael Alejandro, and Isabella Ferreir, with support from veteran actors Kaitlin Olson and Bobby Cannavale.

The first film of Kevin Costner’s sprawling Civil War-era epic hits Max this week. Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 comes to the streamer on Friday, and while Chapter 2 was intended to hit theaters this month, it’s been shelved indefinitely, likely so that more fans can check out Chapter 1 at home first.

Homicide: Life on the Street (Aug. 19)
