Netflix in July 2026: 5 best all-new additions for Netflix subscribers
Here are the biggest hits coming this month for Netflix
As a new month starts, it's tradition here at T3 to take a look at what's coming down the pike from the biggest and best streaming services on the market, so that people can get a sense of what they can look forward to. We're just on the very cusp of July right now, and if you're a Netflix subscriber, you're in the right place.
I've taken a deep look at everything coming to Netflix in July, from new TV series to original movies, and I've limited my picks below to Netflix Originals. That helps to ensure that you'll get access to them regardless of what country you're watching in. Read on to find out five of the best coming your way.
Little House on the Prairie
- Streaming from: 9 July
First up is a Netflix revival of a genuine classic of children's literature in America, one that tells part of the foundation myth of the whole country, frankly. Little House on the Prairie tells a story of American migration, and the challenges that faced families who uprooted their lives in the hopes of finding prosperity.
From the trailers we've seen so far, it might also approach that myth with a little more context and compassion than some other historical versions of it, emphasising the place of native people rather than erasing them or making light. Still, this should be wholesome family-friendly fare, and possibly a very relaxing and cosy watch, if it's anything like previous long-running versions of the story.
Enola Holmes 3
- Streaming from: 1 July
This one might already be available to watch by the time you check out this list, frankly. Enola Holmes has fairly quietly become a bankable franchise for Netflix, after two previous movies did big numbers with Millie Bobby Brown in the lead and titular role as Sherlock Holmes' younger sister.
She's back again this time, and planning an intimate wedding in Malta, only to have her plans upended when her older brother is mysteriously kidnapped. Rightly sensing that it might take a formidable foe to get the drop on such an intelligent mind, Enola will swing into action and take things into her own hands as she tries to put things right and get married in peace.
The Hawk
- Streaming from: 16 July
This looks like a pretty bold swing from Netflix, bringing in the iconic Will Ferrell to front a comedy series in the hopes of boosting its own credentials in that genre. It looks a bit like the Anchorman approach, but taking on professional golf instead of newscasting. Ferrell plays Lonnie 'The Hawk' Hawkins, an ageing ex-pro who's become something of a joke.
He still has major ambitions, though, despite having been arguably replaced by his own son on the pro circuit. Lonnie has a long way to go before he can compete at that level again, though, so expect funny training montages and plenty of on-course action as he makes his way back to the top of the game.
Heartstopper Forever
- Streaming from: 17 July
Another long-running Netflix series gets a send-off here, with Heartstopper upgrading from a final season to a movie, to see its characters off into the sunset. That said, the big question is whether they'll do so happily in love, or after a heartbreaking break-up. Some fans will be sad they're only getting a couple of hours more, though.
Still, it looks like a pretty brilliant continuation of what came before, with Nick and Charlie reckoning with how their relationship is going to work as one of them goes to university and the other doesn't. Those are classic questions, and there's every chance they're treated sensitively here – pray for a happy ending, people!
72 Hours
- Streaming from: 24 July
Sometimes a broad comedy that's over and done in two hours is just what you want on a hot July day, and that's what you'll be getting from 72 Hours, which looks about as mainstream as you could like. It stars Kevin Hart in a fairly preposterous story. He's a middle-aged professional who gets added to a chat about a bachelor party by accident.
He decides to go for the hell of it and winds up spending a crazy weekend with men half his age, trying to recapture his youth and keep up with their antics. Things escalate even further beyond that, from the look of things, but the real question is whether the jokes are any good. We'll know more by the end of the month.
