Amazon Prime Video has a light lineup in August, with a handful of original movies and the return of a star-studded anthology series.
That would be Season 2 of “Modern Love”(Aug. 13), based upon the popular New York Times essays. The eight-episodes series (five set in New York, three set in Ireland, and each a self-contained love story) touts an all-star cast including Kit Harington, Minnie Driver, Dominique Fishback and Tobias Menzies, Anna Paquin and Sophie Okonedo.

Other August highlights for Amazon’s AMZN, -7.56% streaming service include “Val” (Aug. 6), a documentary about actor Val Kilmer, taken largely from 40 years of his home videos; “Annette” (Aug. 21), the sexually charged musical love story starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard that caused a stir at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month; and “The Courier” (Aug. 27), a Cold War spy thriller starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rachel Brosnahan.
There’s also a good collection of older movies on the way, including “Jaws,” “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” and “Aliens” (all Aug. 1) and “In Bruges” (Aug. 16).
Here’s the full list of what’s coming next month, as of July 21 (release dates are subject to change):
