Calling all superhero fans!
Netflix Canada's August 2017 schedule is packed full of goodies, but our most-anticipated addition is the first season of "Marvel's The Defenders," starring "Jessica Jones" actress Krysten Ritter and "Luke Cage" star Mike Colter.
There are many other reasons to stay indoors as summer winds down, thanks to the streaming service's offerings such as "How to Get Away With Murder" Season 3, "Fences," "Jackie," "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." and "Allied."
And of course, Netflix Canada is premiering a ton of new originals this August.
Check out highlights in the gallery below and find our selections under the gallery:
