If you’ve got some summer vacation coming up and want to spend some downtime watching Netflix, here’s what’s on offer for August.

Unfortunately, Netflix is making us wait until the end of the month for the much-anticipated second season of Ozark (Aug. 31), the crime drama starring Jason Bateman as a Chicago-based financial advisor secretly relocates his family to the Missouri Ozarks when his dealings with a drug cartel go wrong.

Some of the other new Netflix original movies and series coming in August include: Like Father (Aug. 3), about a workaholic ends up on a cruise with her estranged and equally workaholic father; season one of the dark revenge comedy Insatiable (Aug. 10); season one of La Casa de las Flores (Aug. 10), a dark comedy revolving around a family-run flower business full of dysfunctional secrets; and The Package (Aug. 10), about an accident that happens when five teens go on a camping trip.
