Kim Kardashian and Demi Lovato join Paris Hilton for a cooking show that looks like a riot, but we’re not so sure about TikTok star Addison Rae’s He’s All That remake

The documentary Untold reveals the truth behind some of sports biggest dramas, including an intimate interview with Caitlyn Jenner

Summer is in full swing and there is an exciting line-up of entertainment to look forward to on Netflix in August. Here are the new shows we’re most looking forward to watching ...

Cooking with Paris: released August 4

We loved Paris Hilton’s viral home cooking videos on YouTube last year and it seems Netflix did too. The streaming service got a whiff of show potential – and possibly freshly baked lasagne – and now Hilton has her own series featuring special guests Kim Kardashian West, Lele Pons and Demi Lovato, among others.

Watching Hilton in her pink gown asking a supermarket staff member how to use chives is giving us serious The Simple Life vibes. (Let’s not forget just how much Miss Hilton has done for reality TV.) Now all we need is former Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie to bag a series about raising chickens.

Sweet Girl: released August 20

The Netflix original film sees Aquaman’s Jason Momoa playing devoted family man Ray Cooper, who vows to get justice for his wife who died after a life-saving cancer drug was withheld from her by pharmaceutical companies.

As with most action films, there are plenty of bad guys to pummel – which Cooper and his sidekick daughter (played by Isabela Merced) do with satisfying flair.
