New OTT releases this week at a glance

The dates and platforms above are supported by the respective official Netflix, Prime Video and Apple announcements.

11 August: Mourinho brings José Mourinho’s story to Netflix

Netflix Prime Video new releases started with Mourinho, a three-part documentary series centred on José Mourinho. Directed by Joe Pearlman and produced by VENTURELAND, the series was filmed over two years and looks at the football manager’s career through his own perspective and those of people who worked with or competed against him. Netflix confirms its global launch on 11 August. Netflix’s official Mourinho announcement

The documentary features interviews with familiar football names including Sir Alex Ferguson, John Terry, Iker Casillas, Didier Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimović. For viewers interested in the personalities and relationships behind the sport, it is one of this week’s main documentary releases.

12 August: Reacher Season 4 leads the midweek releases

Action fans get one of the week’s biggest returning shows with Alan Ritchson back as Jack Reacher in Reacher Season 4, which premiered on Prime Video on 12 August. Prime Video’s official viewing guide confirms that the season is now streaming in more than 240 countries and territories, according to Prime Video’s official Reacher Season 4 viewing guide.

Based on Lee Child’s Gone Tomorrow, this season is not being released all at once. Prime Video dropped the first three episodes on August 12, with the rest following on a weekly schedule until September 16, 2026. Viewers starting from premiere day can watch the opening three episodes before following the weekly release schedule.

Women in Blue Season 2 returns to Apple TV the same day

Apple TV is back with Women in Blue (Las Azules), a Spanish-language crime drama starring Bárbara Mori, Natalia Téllez, Amorita Rasgado, and Ximena Sariñana.

The season began on August 12 and follows a steady weekly release pattern. Unlike the binge-friendly drop of Reacher, this series will keep you company with new episodes every week until the season wraps up on September 30. Apple TV’s official Season 2 announcement

13 August: Maite Alberdi’s A Child of My Own Lands on Netflix

Netflix’s 13 August release is A Child of My Own, a documentary directed by Maite Alberdi. The film is a featured title on Netflix Tudum’s official summer 2026 movie lineup.

The film follows Alejandra, whose fake pregnancy grows into an increasingly difficult deception and eventually becomes part of a wider media scandal. It gives Netflix’s midweek slate a documentary option far removed from the football focus of Mourinho.

14 August: Don’t Say Good Luck joins Netflix

Netflix followed on 14 August with Don’t Say Good Luck, a coming-of-age dramedy directed by Julia Hart. Netflix Tudum’s official Don’t Say Good Luck guide confirms the 14 August premiere.

The film stars Sunny Sandler, Melanie Lynskey, Max Greenfield, Jack Champion and Stephanie Beatriz. It also brings a lighter fictional option to a week otherwise weighted toward action, crime and documentary releases.

What should you watch first this week?

The choice largely comes down to mood. For action, Reacher Season 4 is the obvious starting point. Crime-drama viewers can turn to Women in Blue Season 2, while football fans can choose Mourinho for a documentary centred on one of the sport’s most recognisable managers.

If you prefer a standalone documentary, A Child of My Own offers a feature-length watch. Those looking for a coming-of-age film can check out Don’t Say Good Luck when it arrives on Netflix on 14 August.
