New on Netflix in August 2018: Matt Groening's Disenchantment arrives
The legendary creator of The Simpsons and Futurama brings his newest series to the streaming service.
The newest animated series by Matt Groening won't be on the Fox network. Instead, Disenchantment comes to Netflix in the middle of August. The series focuses on the adventures of a princess and an elf. In an interview Groening said had been keeping sketch books with all kinds of fantasy characters, which is how Disenchantment came to be.
Netflix also has some high-quality movies being added. As the Dark Knight just turned 10 years old, Batman Begins arrives to the big, red streaming service. There's also some Clint Eastwood gold arriving in Gran Torino and Million Dollar Baby at the beginning of the month.
