Every movie and show coming to Netflix in July
Even with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm serving you new movies, new TV shows, and original programming tailored to your viewing habits, the streaming service’s fire hose of content makes what’s coming and going difficult to parse.
That’s why we break down each month’s info dump with a few recommendations for what to keep on your radar. The second season of The Umbrella Academy debuts at the end of the month — though we’re not even sure when in time the Hargreeves siblings are. Arthurian legend-inspired Cursed, starring 13 Reasons Why’s Katherine Langford, also comes out, along with Warrior Nun and The Old Guard. Also debuting is the Netflix adaptation of beloved children’s series The Baby-Sitters Club.
