July is quickly shaping up to be the hottest month of the year, and we're not talking about
the weather.
Netflix's upcoming release schedule is a firestorm of hot new movies and shows.
From bingeable new seasons of fan-favorite shows to great new Netflix original horror
thrillers, there's definitely a lot to get excited about in the upcoming weeks.
Here are all the new movies and shows coming to Netflix in July 2018.
The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter
From Danny McBride and Jody Hill, the duo behind HBO's Vice Principals, The Legacy of
a Whitetail Deer Hunter follows aging hunting legend and TV personality Buck Ferguson as
he heads up into the mountains to reconnect with his son… with Buck's cameraman, Don,
tagging along.
"Well, it HAS been two years, I dunno..."
"What you a human calendar?
Mr. Trapper Keeper.
I know how long it's been."
Sacred Games: Season 1
As India's first Netflix original series, Sacred Games continues the service's M.O.
of bringing international talent onto their diverse lineup.
The show is described as a dark crime thriller and is based on the bestselling novel of the
same name.
Samantha: Season 1
Netflix made a great decision when they brought on Brazilian series 3%, and it looks like
they're intent on tapping the country for even more of its programming.
Samantha is an upcoming Brazilian show about a former '80s child star who's desperate to
reach the level of fame she once had, leading her on some wild adventures as she does everything
in her power to get back into the spotlight.
Somebody Feed Phil: The Second Course
Most people probably know Phil Rosenthal as the creator of the long-running sitcom hit
Everybody Loves Raymond, but in recent years, he's been on a different sort of adventure.
In Somebody Feed Phil, Rosenthal jets off to exotic locations to check out the local
culture and cuisine.
Basically, it's like every other travel food show, with the distinction that Rosenthal
isn't an expert on either culture or cuisine.
He's just a guy who just likes food.
"Nothing wrong with that.
And you know we like anything on a stick."
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee: Freshly Brewed
Jerry Seinfeld's undemanding talk show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is rolling back into
Netflix with a freshly brewed batch of today's hottest comedians.
The series' fifth collection, "Freshly Brewed," will see Seinfeld chatting with Dave Chappelle,
Kate McKinnon, and Zach Galifianakis, to name a few.
First Team: Juventus: Season 1: Part B
Sports fans had a ball with the first part of Netflix's 2018 docu-series First Team:
Juventus, which follows the Juventus football club during their 2017 to 2018 season.
Each 40-minute episode goes behind the scenes to take an intimate look of the players and
coaches of the Italian soccer team.
Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons: Season 2
They may not be too deadly to safely get a camera crew inside, but the prisons that journalist
Paul Connolly visits in Inside the World's Toughest Prisons definitely reek of danger.
In the first season, Connolly posed as a prisoner in four separate lockups around the world,
living face to face with dangerous inmates.
Season 2 will see the same approach with a new presenter - Raphael Rowe, a journalist
who himself actually spent 12 years in prison.
The Skin of The Wolf
This Spanish movie made its U.S. premiere in March 2018 at the Miami Film Festival.
The story follows a lonely hunter who's the last remaining resident of an abandoned town
at the top of a mountain.
Don't let the Spanish subtitles hold you back, because there aren't many lines to read - The
Skin of the Wolf features precious little dialogue, with long stretches containing none
at all.
Yet there's a raw, hypnotic quality to the film that keeps it from getting boring.
White Fang
Netflix's newest animated film is bringing Jack London's timeless tale to a whole new
audience.
Like the book, the narrative of the film is told from the perspective of White Fang, a
half-wolf sled dog who's adopted by a Native American tribe and learns to become a vicious
fighter.
Nick Offerman, Paul Giamatti, and Rashida Jones lend their voices to the cast.
Make sure you check out The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter, Sacred Games Season 1, Samantha
Season 1, Somebody Feed Phil: The Second Course, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee: Freshly
Brewed, First Team: Juventus, Inside the World's Toughest Prisons: Season 2, The Skin of the
Wolf, and White Fang when they drop onto Netflix on July 6.

names like Pablo Escobar, Frank Lucas, and Kath Pettingill, dubbed "Granny Evil" for
her iron grip on the Melbourne drug trade.

to Jamaican gangster Christopher Coke.

How it Ends
Starring Theo James and Forest Whitaker, How it Ends is an action thriller that follows

a mysterious apocalyptic event.

Sugar Rush
Netflix has been piling on the cooking shows lately, with Nailed It and Ugly Delicious
premiering in early 2018.

participants who are racing against the clock to whip up the best desserts.

alike.

day.

celebrities, interspersed with scripted comedy bits.
Look for Part 2 to land on July 15th.
Amazing Interiors
With The World's Most Extraordinary Homes, Netflix took viewers on a whirlwind tour around
the globe to visit a few of the craziest looking homes in existence.
With Amazing Interiors, the format continues - only this time, the crazy is all inside.
What will you find when you walk through the doors of these homes?
Find out on July 20th.
Dark Tourist
Instead of visiting the usual cultural highlights around the world, Dark Tourist pinpoints the
planet's most morbid settings, such as abandoned nuclear reactors and haunted forests.
Journalist and filmmaker David Farrier leads the charge, promising a weird journey into
the unexpected.
Take the plunge on July 20th.
Father of the Year

When they get into an argument about who's father could beat up the other's father, one
of their dads steps up to the challenge.
Hijinks ensue.
Take a look on July 20th.
Last Chance U
For two seasons, Netflix tagged along as the troubled teens of East Mississippi Community
College, or EMCC, fought to return to Division 1 status and achieve their football dreams.
Nicknamed Last Chance U, EMCC offered many of these players their last shot at redemption.
For the third season, Netflix is releasing a two-parter.
The first takes a look at the players who left EMCC after the first two seasons and
is called, appropriately, Last Chance U: EMCC & Life After.
The second - Last Chance U: INDY: Part 1 - starts up the new season at a new school: Independence
Community College in Kansas.
The expectations are lower, but the stakes are higher than ever.
Look for both to land on July 20th.

the extraterrestrial threat.
Lizzy Caplan and Luke Cage's Mike Colter co-star.
Look for Extinction on July 27th.
Roman Empire: Reign of Blood: Master of Rome
Netflix's docu-drama series Roman Empire: Reign of Blood has spent two years thrilling
fans with its historical look at the beginnings of the fall of Rome.
The series uses actors and sets to play out the drama, while the occasional voiceover
or talking head pops in to provide documentary-style commentary on what's going on.
The upcoming Roman Empire: Reign of Blood: Master of Rome will follow the same format,
and this time, the focus is on Julius Caesar.
Queue it up on July 27th.
Orange is the New Black: Season 6
For five seasons, Piper and her friends have regaled audiences in one of the most engaging
and original shows in recent memory.
We've seen relationships form, flourish and wither, all within the halls of Litchfield
prison.
Judging by the brief teaser for the new season, the show will pick up right where fans last
saw Piper and the remaining inmates in the Season 5 cliffhanger.
Look for it on July 27th.
The Bleeding Edge
Through candid interviews with patients and medical professionals, The Bleeding Edge paints
a terrifying picture of medical devices rushed through safety testing and installed in hospitals
across the country.
There's nothing more terrifying than a medical horror story, so it's sure to be an eye-opening
experience.
Take a look on July 27th.
A Very Secret Service: Season 2
This goofy spy comedy is sort of like the French answer to Get Smart.
With both hard-hitting drama and absurd comedy, the first season of A Very Secret Service
built a loyal - if small - fan base.
The second season promises more of the same.
Don't miss it when it arrives on Netflix on July 30th.
Terrace House: Opening New Doors: Part 3
Inexplicably one of Netflix's more popular shows, Terrace House operates on the basic
premise that a reality show doesn't need any scripting whatsoever to draw in viewers.
This Japanese series is low key, drama free, and utterly hypnotizing for no discernible
reason.
Part 3 of the spinoff Opening New Doors hits on July 31st.
Original stand-up comedy
Netflix is offering a different take on comedy this July.
In addition to two full-length specials, Netflix is also releasing a stand-up collection titled
The Comedy Lineup, which will see multiple comedians take the stage for short sets.
That shows up on July 3rd, and you also can catch Jim Jefferies: This Is Me Now on July
13th, followed by Iliza Shlesinger : Elder Millennial on July 24th.
That wraps up all the Netflix originals arriving in July 2018, so let's turn to everything
else being added to the streaming service next month.
New movies
As far as Netflix is concerned, blockbuster season officially begins on July 1st.
The first of the month will dawn with classic action films like the Jurassic Park trilogy,
The Boondock Saints, and Van Helsing.
July 1st will also see the arrival of some great dramas, such as Menace II Society, and
We Own the Night.
Later in the month, you can look for Blue Valentine on the 5th, Gone Baby Gone on the
12th, and Her on the 29th.
For laughs, don't miss Ryan Reynolds' 2014 dark comedy The Voices, which sees Reynolds
as a slightly psychopathic blue collar worker.
"You know I'm a talking cat.
There's no such thing.
Everything I say, is really you."
"That's true buddy.
It's all you."
"Whaaaaaaaat?"
That's arriving on the first, alongside the return of Bo Burnham's stand-up special what.
Finally, Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain is dropping on the 13th.
Netflix is also rolling out plenty of options for the family to watch together.
Look for Finding Neverland, the two Scooby-Doo movies, and The Princess Diaries on July 1st,
followed by Disney's Bolt on the 22nd.
Unfortunately, July is going to be slim pickings for the horror fans in the room.
There are only two upcoming films on the docket: Deceived arrives on July 1st, and Scream 4
arrives on July 7th.
New television
If Netflix is coming up short in some of their movie categories, they're more than making
up for it with their television selection.
You can escape the summer heat with new seasons of Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-O, NCIS, and Madam
Secretary on the first.
July 2nd sees the arrival of Season 4 of The Good Witch and Season 1 of The Sinner, and
July 6 will herald the addition of The Fosters: Season 5.
Finally, July 28th will bring the dysfunctional Gallagher family back home as Season 8 of
Shameless arrives.
