Disney+ Hotstar has announced a list of 21 titles that will be released on its platform in August 2020. The biggest of the lot are the Vidyut Jammwal-starrer action thriller Khuda Haafiz, out August 14, and the animated Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe, slated for August 28. The latter will be joined by a few more Disney+ originals, including the documentary Howard about the Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast lyricist Howard Ashman on August 7; and The One and Only Ivan with Bryan Cranston, Angelina Jolie, Sam Rockwell, Helen Mirren, and Indira Varma, available August 21.
Beyond that, Disney+ Hotstar Premium has one new HBO series — Lovecraft Country, with J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peel as executive producers, premiering August 17 — to add to the existing roster made up of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver season 7, Real Time with Bill Maher season 18, the fourth and final season of the anthology Room 104, the Matthew Rhys-led miniseries reboot of Perry Mason, the London-set I May Destroy You from Michaela Coel (Chewing Gum), and the third season of The Chi. All those will run weekly.
That leaves the Kristen Stewart-led sci-fi horror Underwater, available August 14 on Disney+ Hotstar, and the children's spy comedy Spies in Disguise with Will Smith, Tom Holland, Rashida Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Rachel Brosnahan, Karen Gillan, and DJ Khaled. Spies in Disguise is out August 8 on Disney+ Hotstar.
Everything on the list below is exclusive to Disney+ Hotstar Premium — available at Rs. 299 a month or Rs. 1,499 a year — save for Khuda Haafiz, which is also available with Disney+ Hotstar VIP. With that, here's a (developing) list of movies and TV shows coming to Disney+ August in August 2020. Disney+ originals and “Disney+ Hotstar Multiplex” titles are marked in bold for your convenience.
