What's New on Prime Video in August 2022

There’s no crying in streaming! Does that work? Is that anything? Look, if Prime Video is going to turn the beloved 1992 Tom Hanks/Geena Davis baseball flick A League of Their Own into a TV series, I’m going to have to reference its most famous line. That’s just the law of the internet.

Internet law also requires me to question the necessity of a film-to-TV remake of what is already a pretty perfect narrative account of the rise of all-women baseball leagues during World War II, when many of the nation’s baseball-aged men were off fighting for freedom and democracy and all that other good stuff the game symbolizes. Premiering Aug. 12, the remake does, at least, justify itself by expanding the story to consider a group of Black women who also take up the game:

Also coming this month: Ron Howard’s Thirteen Lives (Aug. 5), a narrative account of the rescue of a group of boys and their soccer coach from a flooded mine in Thailand in 2018. The reviews are decent but unenthusiastic; you could probably just watch the 2021 documentary account The Rescue instead (it’s on Disney+). There’s also a second season of a Spanish-language remake of I Love Lucy called Todo por Lucy (Aug. 19) that I just discovered exists; that’s weird, huh?

Here’s everything else coming to Prime Video (and ad-supported offshoot Freevee) in August.
