The best new movies and shows on Prime Video in August

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (August 4, Prime Video)

Between The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart and Saint X, Alycia Debnam-Carey has really cornered the market on playing the grown-up version of a girl whose family experienced a great loss when she was young. This Australia-set limited series, based on the novel by Holly Ringland, stars Debnam-Carey as the adult version of Alice Hart (played as a child by Alyla Browne), who loses her parents in a mysterious fire at age 9. When she moves in with her grandmother June (Sigourney Weaver) on a flower farm, she learns there are secrets in her family's past that will continue to follow her into adulthood. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Red, White & Royal Blue (August 11, Prime Video)

Based on Casey McQuiston's hit novel, Red, White & Royal Blue is set in a better world where Uma Thurman is president of the United States and her son falls in love with a prince from the British royal family. Imagine the Harry and Meghan story with even more drama. Here's everything to know about the film. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Harlan Coben's Shelter (August 18, Prime Video)

Set in the spookiest place on earth (New Jersey), Shelter follows Mickey (Jaden Michael), a teen boy who finds himself wrapped up in the disappearance of a student at his new school. As he and his friends search for her, they begin to uncover dark secrets about their small town, and some secrets about Mickey's own family history, too. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]
