In a trio of films based on R. L. Stine's (
Goosebumps) original stories, this three-part movie event will be a feature-length limited series that runs until the middle of the month and it looks to play on that classic throwback horror genre we know and love. A good one to get the mates round for - we can do that now, remember!

Probably one of the best horror movies of the past decade, if not longer. Certainly not one for the faint-hearted. Maybe watch with a friend or partner so you can cling onto each other afterwards.

The latest movie
Quentin Tarantino's line of films and, supposedly, the penultimate before his 10th and final film. Super stylised, sexy and a love letter to cinema as a whole. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.

Mate, foreign-language films are where it's at! We know there's plenty of good horror stuff coming out in the UK and Hollywood but
really doesn't look like it holds anything back
Playing off the meta angle of showing you genre tropes you've seen before, this Italian horror looks both unique and familiar all at the same time.

An Indonesian dramedy that looks to be full of heart, as it follows a young man tracking down his mother years after she left for New York. Written by Ginatri S. Noer and Muhammad Zaidy, directed by Lucky Kuswandi - this one might need tissues at the ready.

We're just gonna say it: this looks absolutely WILD! An airborne thriller/horror in the sky where one of the main characters looks to be some kind of crazy vampire-like creature. We even spotted 'Linc' from

A French action full of comedic beats that follows a former spy now known as the mercenary, 'Mist' - played by Jean-Claude Van Damme - who returns to France to save his son from a government mix-up and a terrorist plot. It might not be the most high-art thing you'll on Netlfix in July, but it looks fun.
Now, that's sorted you for movie night but what about lining up some series to help get you through the evenings on a work night? Oh, we're so glad you asked:

The first series of the hit American cop dramedy is coming to UK Netflix at the start of the month ahead of

Now this is a clever approach to creating accessible and educational content that people will engage with. This unique music event is a limited series (for now) that ropes in everyone from H.E.R., Janelle Monáe, Cordae, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bebe Rexha and more.
Created by the

It seems like there is a thousand and one zany American comedies on Netflix and that's because there is. However,
garnered a bit of a cult following, which is why it's back with a season two; it looks as though Bob Odenkirk (

Netflix's feline answer to the success of their canine companion show - which, as mentioned above, is also

For you
out there, how SICK does this look!? It isn't the first time we've seen entirely CGI productions - it's big in videogame movie crossovers, anime and Netlfix's back catalogue, in general - it isn't even the first we've seen with this franchise (there are several
animated films already), but this super stylised series looks great.

If you've never seen
before, not only are you missing out on one of the funniest, most tear-jerking, most utterly heart-warming series Netlfix - or TV in general, for that matter - has to offer, but you're missing on a wonderfully realistic and insightful way to learn about the
. This will be the fourth and final season and, yes, I'm already crying.
One of the new arrivals to Netflix we are most looking forward to is the upcoming
documentary. This original series looks set to not only follow her impressive career so far but hopefully dip into her life off the court too.
The 23-year-old has been absent from press conferences and
entirely, citing struggles with mental health issues which raises the question
when they're at their most vulnerable.

This beautifully reimagined animated series is part one of at least two, each containing five episodes with all your favourite characters returning. Bonnie Tyler on the soundtrack and a

SPOILER ALERT! Kind of. If you watched the
you'll be wise to everything tied and what was left loose, however, all you need to know is that the gang are back with more angsty teen drama, high stakes action and a belting soundtrack. Like the first series, we reckon this will go from being a very easy watch to a surprisingly good one in no time.
So, that's it for everything new coming to UK Netflix next month - looks like a decent haul, all in all.
However, as per, there are always going to be casualties when it comes to the next batch of content on any streaming platform. As for what's leaving UK Netlfix in July 2021, we could be here all day, to be honest. So, instead, we'll just point you towards this
if you want to spoil your day with some bad news.
Chin up, guys, we'd wager a lot of them will be back and before you know and, most importantly, there's always way too much new stuff coming to Netflix every month for you to get your teeth into.
