While fan-favourite shows come back to Netflix in August, like Emily in Paris and the final season of The Umbrella Academy, some beloved movies and TV shows will also be leaving the streaming site in Canada next month. This includes the Macaulay Culkin hits Home Alone and Home Alone 2, The Devil Wears Prada with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, and Jurassic Park.

On August 1, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will all be removed from the streaming site. But they are available on Disney+ instead.

Wednesday star Emma Myers leads A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, a six-episode murder-mystery series, based of the book of the same name by Holly Jackson.

Pip Fitz-Amobi (Myers), a 17-year-old, is determined to investigate a five-year-old murder case of schoolgirl Andie Bell. While it's believed her boyfriend Sal Singh killed her, Pip isn't so sure.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4, the final season of the series based on the comics by Gerard Way, returns in just over a week.

Entering a new timeline, with a new set of forces and the Hargreeves starting the season with no powers, the stakes are particularly high.

The new and final season also marks the introduction of new characters played by Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, married community college professors Dr. Jean Thibodeau and Dr. Gene Thibodeau.

A documentary created over the course of eight years of filming, Daughters follows four young girls who are preparing for a Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers.

The event in a Washington, D.C. jail is part of the work of Angela Patton, CEO of Girls for a Change, working to foster father-daughter bonding and strengthening family relationships.

While we've been hooked watching American Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) navigate life in Paris, in Season 4 of Emily in Paris she'll be exploring more of what Europe has to offer, from the French Alps to Rome. After three seasons of the show, we're also moving away from the flowery Parisian summer and showing the city throughout the winter season.

With the last season ending as Emily finds out her friend Camille (Camille Razat) and Emily's on-and-off love interest Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) are expecting a baby together, it's set to be a dramatic and chaotic season. Of course, with some of the best fashion to hit the small screen.

Season 4, Part 1 will be released on August 15, with Part 2 coming in September.

The series also stars Janet McTeer, Nabhaan Rizwan, David Thewlis, Cliff Curtis, Debi Mazar, Aurora Perrineau, Leila Farzad and Misia Butler.
