What’s Coming to Netflix in July 2020

Image: NetflixA quick review of this month’s new, original Netflix offerings quickly reveals my personal biases. For example, I’m well aware of the geek-friendly properties, both new and returning: Season two of The Umbrella Academy, based on the comic by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá; the premiere of Cursed, based on a YA novel featuring art by comics legend Frank Miller; The Old Guard, a Charlize Theron-starring superhero film also based on a comic.I’m jazzed for the new series based on The Baby-Sitters Club (the books are tween classics, but the phenomenally popular new graphic novel adaptations are likely what sparked this reboot) because it will make my 8-year-old daughter happy. I’m excited for the return of Unsolved Mysteries, a spooky staple of my childhood (they kept the title font; let’s hope they kept the iconic theme song too).On the other hand, it turns out there is a show called Shameless? And it has 10 seasons? Huh. Otherwise, there are a bunch of great new original documentaries and favorite films (Airplane!, Schindler’s List, Stardust, The Karate Kid) coming to the streamer this month, as well as a bunch you don’t want to miss before they go (Her, Back to the Future, probably not Sex and the City 2). Meanwhile, Disney+ has clawed back a few franchise installments in The Incredibles 2, Solo: A Star Wars Story and Ant-Man and the Wasp.Here’s a trailer for Netflix’s new original offerings this month, followed by a list of everything that’s coming to and going from the streaming service in July:Available July 1#Anne Frank – Parallel StoriesA Bridge Too FarA Thousand WordsA Touch of Green: Season 1A Walk to RememberAbby Hatcher: Season 1Airplane!AliBatman: Mask of the PhantasmCharlotte’s WebClash of the Titans (19
