Aussie Streaming Guide: The Best TV & Movies for August 2025

It’s time to fill your August with nothing but the finest TV series and movies available in Australia. Don’t make the rookie mistake of mindlessly menu-surfing around the six major streaming services. That’s a small purgatory. That’s wasting precious binge minutes on watching the same old (disappointing and unselectable) thumbnails scroll past your eyes instead of clicking right into the good stuff.

So, let’s get to maximising your hard-worn free time with critically acclaimed films, sweet TV series escapism, and original content available. Below are the top picks from thousands of hours of content from Australia’s six major streaming networks. Click your provider from the list, home in on the must-sees, and set your eyes to square.
