There's something for everyone in August's big TV renewals. For fans of Canadian YA, Sterling Point has been renewed for Season 2 at Prime Video. For fans of crime dramas with bite, Hulu's Furious will be back for Season 2. And horror fans can get ready for a new chapter of IT: Welcome to Derry.

Plus, for viewers in the mood for a beach read, Peacock's The Five Star Weekend is returning for a second season of sun, shores, and secrets, even though there's no more source material to adapt following the conclusion of the first season. (But that won't stop a streaming service from capitalizing on popularity; it was Peacock's biggest hit ever.) And for everyone who's missing The Big Bang Theory, HBO Max is renewing its ambitious multiverse comedy spin-off, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. Unlike The Five Star Weekend, Stuart's multiverse setting means there are literally unlimited directions to go in. Perhaps a universe in which there was a second The Five Star Weekend book?

Other renewals in August include Starz's S.W.A.T. spin-off S.W.A.T. Exiles; Netflix's Tires, The Gentlemen, America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and Formula 1: Drive to Survive; and Peacock's Love Island USA.

The month was a lot quieter on the cancellation front, but it did bring bad news for a pair of Hulu comedies: Both Not Suitable for Work and Deli Boys have been let go.

We kept tabs on all the shows that were canceled or renewed in August below.
