King of the Hill season 14 premiered on Monday, Aug. 4 with all 10 of its new episodes streaming on Hulu.

Platonic season 2 begins on Apple TV+
Unlike King of the Hill, it hasn't been quite as long of a wait for Platonic season 2 on Apple TV+. However, it's still been a long time coming. The comedy series starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne premiered on the streamer back in May 2023, but Platonic season 2 arrives on Aug. 6 with a two-episode premiere and continues through its final on Oct. 1. The 10-episode season finds Sylvia and Will continue to weather life's ups and downs as a duo. If you haven't yet, get into Platonic!
Wednesday season 2 kicks off on Netflix
Almost three years of waiting comes to a close with the release of Wednesday season 2 part 1 on Wednesday, Aug. 6. Netflix opted to split the hit series' second season in half, which allows us fans to savor the season as much as possible. In the first four episodes, Wednesday returns to Nevermore and takes on a seriously spooky new mystery that threatens to cause Enid's demise. Will she save the day again? Check out season 2 part 1 this week, and don't miss part 2 on Sept. 3.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood debuts on Starz
For Outlander fans, there's still some time until the beloved drama series returns for its final season, but Starz offers up a treat this week in the form of a new prequel series. Outlander: Blood of My Blood premieres on Aug. 8 and centers on the origin stories of the parents of both Claire and Jamie. There's romance and, of course, a bit of time travel involved.
