Here are the highlights of the new movies and shows on Showtime in August 2021.

‘The L Word: Generation Q’ Season 2 premieres, plus the return of ‘Work in Progress’
August 2021 also brings the premiere of The L Word: Generation Q Season 2. This season of The L Word reboot will continue to follow the intermingled lives of the show’s characters as they experience love, heartbreak, setbacks, and success in Los Angeles. It premieres August 6.

New Showtime docuseries ‘Gossip’ premieres August 22
Two new docuseries also premiere on Showtime in August. Gossip dives into the controversial world of tabloid journalism. The four-episode series focuses on Cindy Adams, the New York Post columnist who rose to prominence in the 1970s. “Each episode distinctly dissects and dishes on how gossip evolved across a different decade and highlights the biggest scoops and scandals that helped reshape journalism and set the agenda for the highest levels of society,” according to Showtime.
UFO premieres August 8. The four-part series looks at our enduring fascination with UFOs and examines “what clandestine influence the American government, lucrative private companies, and the military may have in shielding the truth behind extraterrestrial phenomena to further their own agendas.”
