What’s Being Added to Netflix in July?

With most networks taking a break to focus on the Emmys and their upcoming fall slate of shows, July has historically been a dry spell for new creative content. This might be the perfect month to catch up on everything sitting in your Netflix queue. Or you could watch one of the many films added to Netflix in July including two films everyone should check out, The Invitation and the Oscar-nominated Mustang. Along with those films, Netflix has a roster of three shows worth your attention:

Stranger Things, Season One (July 15th)  

Billed as a love letter to the supernatural classics of the 80s, Stranger Things is the story of three young friends on an adventure when one of them vanishes into thin air. The premise of the show is pretty cryptic. Friends and family search for a missing boy while other mysterious kids pop up out of nowhere. The show is billed as a supernatural horror, but judging from the trailer, the horror is in the same vein of shows like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark. Stranger Things also stars Winona Ryder, an actress I always love to see on TV (mostly so I can chant “Free Winona” to anyone who will listen).

 

Marco Polo, Season Two (July 1st

Marco Polo, Netflix’s epic historical drama produced by the Weinsteins, has returned for a second season a year and a half later. Without big names or critical acclaim, the show struggled to stand out against some of Netflix’s other shows, but Netflix has insisted that the first season was a “massive success” and very popular with audiences. Michelle Yeoh and Gabriel Byrne have joined the cast for the second season. With its luscious scenery and epic battles, Marco Polo may be a good show for anyone looking for something to tide them over until Game of Thrones returns.

 

BoJack Horseman, Season Three (July 22nd)

The third season of Netflix’s animated hit returns this month with a trailer hinting at a season long arc focusing on BoJack as he is finally given a role that has the potential of earning him an Oscar. The show will return with a cast of all-star voices including Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Aaron Paul, and Alison Brie.
