Every TV Show That Has Been Renewed in August 2025

August brought a steady stream of good news for fans who love sticking with a show past its first run. Networks and streamers confirmed fresh seasons for everything from crime sagas to competition favorites, and the updates came with useful details about casts, story direction, and where to watch. The lineup also includes a few curveballs like an uncanceled thriller returning to development and an early pickup ahead of a season that has not even aired yet.

Below you will find every August renewal in one place. Each entry gives you the renewal date and home platform along with a quick refresher on the premise and where the story has been heading so far. If you are catching up, you will also see the basics that make each title tick so you can dive in without missing key context.

‘Deli Boys’ (2025– )

Hulu renewed ‘Deli Boys’ for Season 2 on Aug. 26 at Onyx Collective on Hulu. Fred Armisen is joining the new season as a gambling savant, with the comedy continuing on Hulu in the United States and on Disney Plus in many international territories. The series centers on Mir and Raj Dar, two Pakistani American brothers who discover their late father ran a criminal enterprise behind a legit family business, and who now have to fake it until they actually run it. Poorna Jagannathan plays Lucky, their father’s trusted fixer, while Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh lead as the dueling brothers whose plans keep spiraling.

Season 1 mixed family drama with mishaps involving turf, cash flow, and a lot of achar jars, and it leaned into culture clash gags while building out the DarCo front company and the crew that keeps it afloat. Season 2 will keep the brothers in the crime comedy pressure cooker and add Armisen’s character to the schemes that Lucky uses to keep the books balanced and the rivals off their backs. Viewers should expect more fish out of water stumbles as Mir and Raj try to pass as kingpins while barely staying a step ahead of feds and competitors.

‘The Institute’ (2025– )

MGM Plus renewed ‘The Institute’ on Aug. 22 after the show delivered the service’s best premiere. The eight episode Season 2 will stream on MGM Plus in the United States and through Prime Video channels in many regions. Based on Stephen King’s novel, the series follows Luke Ellis, a prodigy kidnapped by a secret facility that tortures children with telekinetic and telepathic abilities under the rule of the chilling director Julia Sigsby. Ben Barnes plays Tim Jamieson, a former cop who gets pulled into the case, while Mary Louise Parker embodies Sigsby with a ruthless calm.

Season 1 covered the novel’s core arc through the kids in Front Half and Back Half and the moral logic the Institute uses to justify weaponizing children. With that story complete, Season 2 continues with original material built from the world that the first season established. That means more fallout from the escape, answers about the wider network behind the Institute, and a closer look at the survivors who now know exactly what the facility is willing to do in the name of a supposed greater good.

‘Gangs of London’ (2020– )

Sky confirmed a Season 4 pickup on Aug. 21, with the series returning on Sky in the United Kingdom and on NOW for streaming. AMC handles the series in the United States, but the network has not yet confirmed US carriage for Season 4, and it still has not aired Season 3 in the US even though Season 3 debuted in the UK in March. The show began with the assassination of crime boss Finn Wallace and the power vacuum that followed, with Joe Cole, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Michelle Fairley, and Lucian Msamati driving a tale of shifting alliances across Albanian, Kurdish, Pakistani, and other factions.

Across three seasons the series has followed Elliott Carter’s evolution from undercover cop to underworld player while the Wallace and Dumani families try to hang on to influence. Season 3 escalated public fallout through a deadly drug scandal and a hard push from City Hall, which set the board for new bids for power in Season 4. When the new season lands in the UK, expect the familiar mix of operatic betrayals and bone crunching action set pieces as the gangs redraw the map again.

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ (2009– )

MTV renewed ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ for Season 18 on Aug. 20, and new episodes will air on MTV with ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked’ following. The flagship follows queens through mini and maxi challenges that test performance, comedy, design, and dance, then closes each week with a runway and a lip sync for your life. RuPaul hosts and judges alongside Michelle Visage and rotating panelists such as Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, Ts Madison, and Law Roach, with guest judges joining for themed challenges like Snatch Game and the Rusical.

Season 17 kicked ratings back into high gear and reintroduced format twists while highlighting a new crop of queens. Season 18 will continue that template with more balls, roasts, makeovers, and group challenges, and the backstage ‘Untucked’ episodes will carry the deliberations, alliances, and spills that happen while the judges decide. The spinoffs keep the franchise running year round, but the main stage remains the place where a queen snatches the crown and the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar.

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked’ (2010– )

‘Untucked’ will return alongside Season 18 of the main show, with the renewal announced on Aug. 20. Episodes air after ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ on MTV and capture the conversations in the Werk Room and lounge while the judges deliberate. This is where queens hash out critique, vent about runway notes, and explain strategy that viewers did not see during the maxi challenge, which makes these episodes essential for the full story of each elimination.

Over the years ‘Untucked’ has shifted between web only and linear TV, but it now plays a consistent companion role again. Fans can expect interviews with eliminated queens, behind the scenes fashion details that never hit the runway, and the moments that become meme fuel by the end of the night. When the new season starts, ‘Untucked’ will keep doing what it does best, which is showing how pressure and friendship collide away from the judges’ table.

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ (2012– )

Paramount Plus renewed ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ for Season 11 on Aug. 20, with streaming set on Paramount Plus in the United States and many international markets. ‘All Stars’ brings back past competitors to fight for a spot in the Hall of Fame, and recent seasons have used new point systems and tournament brackets while keeping the core of lip sync showdowns and runway excellence intact. The cast pulls from across the franchise, which means viewers see seasoned performers who have upgraded their skills since their original runs.

The next season will build on the format lessons from the biggest ‘All Stars’ to date, with challenges that span girl groups, branding, acting, and design and with the judging panel rotating between the main show’s regulars and special guests. The prize remains a crown, a cash purse, and a Hall of Fame position that cements a queen’s legacy inside the Drag Race universe. Expect ‘All Stars’ to push production value and strategic gameplay even harder with the expanded pool of returning icons.

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Untucked’ (2012– )

The ‘All Stars’ aftershow is coming back with Season 11, confirmed on Aug. 20 alongside the main renewal. Episodes stream on Paramount Plus right after ‘All Stars’ drops, capturing the bracket talk, lipstick strategy, and plea sessions that explain how eliminations happen when queens hold the power. Because recent seasons move key strategy off the main stage, this companion fills in the why behind every vote.

Viewers will see alliances form and fall, runway regrets turn into runway revisions, and the debates that define who deserves to stay as the tournament advances. As ‘All Stars’ experiments with formats, ‘Untucked’ keeps you clued in on what the queens are weighing when they face the choice between saving a friend or protecting their own path to the Hall of Fame.

‘Dept. Q’ (2025– )

Netflix renewed ‘Dept. Q’ on Aug. 18, with Season 2 bringing Matthew Goode back as Carl Morck on Netflix worldwide. Created by Scott Frank with Chandni Lakhani, the British adaptation moves Jussi Adler Olsen’s Danish crime novels to Edinburgh and builds a cold case unit staffed by a prickly detective who cannot let old files stay closed. The Season 1 mystery focused on a prosecutor who vanished from a ferry, while Rose and Akram helped Morck piece together what really happened.

Season 2 will crack into new unsolved cases while continuing Morck’s recovery from a career altering shooting, as well as the fallout with colleagues who question his methods. Fans of tense procedural puzzles will get more of the long game interrogations, forensic breadcrumbs, and political pressure that complicated the first round of investigations, with the team learning to trust each other while digging into secrets that people with power want buried.

‘America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ (2024– )

Netflix picked up Season 3 on Aug. 18 following the pay raise headlines tied to Season 2. The docuseries follows the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders through auditions, training camp, and the NFL season, with Kelli Finglass and Judy Trammell shaping the final roster. The show came from the team behind ‘Cheer’ and ‘Last Chance U’ and has tracked the personal lives of veteran leaders and rookie candidates as they chase a spot on the thirty six person squad.

Season 2 captured the 2024 to 2025 season with a large rookie class, and the series highlighted how the job’s time demands and public appearances collide with day jobs and family commitments. Season 3 will pick up the cycle again with more focus on choreography, game day performance, and the off field community work that DCC members handle, while continuing to follow the women who push for better conditions and who mentor the next wave of hopefuls.

‘One Piece’ (2023– )

Netflix granted an early Season 3 renewal on Aug. 9, ahead of the Season 2 premiere that is set for 2026. Production on Season 3 will start later in 2025 in Cape Town, and Ian Stokes will join Joe Tracz as co showrunner after Matt Owens stepped away earlier this year. The live action series adapts Eiichiro Oda’s pirate epic and follows Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat crew as they sail toward the Grand Line in search of the legendary treasure known as the One Piece.

Season 1 covered the East Blue saga and ended with the core crew set for bigger waters. Season 2 will pick up with arcs that introduce desert kingdoms, criminal syndicates, and a tiny reindeer doctor with a big heart, while Season 3’s early pickup signals Netflix’s intent to keep momentum through the Grand Line adventures. Cast members including Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero, and Taz Skylar remain the backbone as the story scales up to larger islands and higher bounties.

‘Cruel Summer’ (2021– )

‘Cruel Summer’ was canceled in 2023, but on Aug. 8 Freeform and Hulu confirmed that Season 3 is in development with Olivia Holt returning as Kate Wallis. The series began as a teen mystery that unfolded across three summers in the nineties, tracking the fallout after a popular girl vanished and a shy classmate seemed to replace her in the social order. Season 2 pivoted to a new cast and a different timeline, and the revival now circles back to the original character who anchored the breakout first run.

Development means scripts and staffing come before shooting, but the creative team already confirmed Holt’s return and a plan to continue Kate’s story. That sets up a third season that can revisit Skylin and address the lingering questions about who knew what and when, while expanding the mystery engine that made the first season Freeform’s buzziest thriller. Distribution will run through Freeform and Hulu when cameras roll and episodes are scheduled.

‘Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross’ (2025– )

Roku renewed the series on Aug. 7 after it became the most watched unscripted Roku Original on record for the platform. Season 2 will stream free on The Roku Channel. The three part Season 1 followed Tracee Ellis Ross on solo trips to Marrakech, Riviera Maya, and Marbella while sharing practical advice on safety, planning, and confidence for travelers who want to go it alone.

New episodes will build on that format with more destinations and more how to tips folded into the travelogue. Expect packing strategies, local maker spotlights, and candid moments when things go sideways, which is exactly when the show leans into the resilience that solo travel can teach. The first season’s blend of aspirational escapes and approachable checklists will remain the backbone in the new run.

‘American Ninja Warrior’ (2009– )

NBC renewed ‘American Ninja Warrior’ for Season 18 on Aug. 4, keeping the obstacle course competition on the summer schedule with episodes streaming next day on Peacock. The format brings qualifiers, semifinals, and the Las Vegas finals that end on the four stage Mount Midoriyama gauntlet, and the show has launched its own stars through unforgettable runs while adding specials like the Women’s Championship.

Season 17 wrapped with a bracket based finale in Las Vegas, and Season 18 will tweak obstacles and course flow while keeping the time pressure and head to head drama that define the brand. The new year continues the mix of veteran gym rats and first time hopefuls, plus family names who grew up on ‘ANW Junior’ and have now aged into the big stage, all chasing a climb that only a handful of athletes have ever finished.
