The dog days of August are just around the corner, and Netflix is heating up.

How to beat the summer doldrums? Tune into Baz Luhrmann's first TV series, "The Get Down," which follows the birth of hip-hop in 1970s New York City, available August 12th on Netflix.

Also debuting on Netflix in August 2016: the animated version of the classic French children's story, "The Little Prince"; the docu-series "Fearless" about professional bull riders; and new politically themed comedy specials from David Cross and "Funny or Die."
