New Netflix Shows and Movies in July 2025

Netflix's summer 2025 slate features the return of some of its biggest hits, from Squid Game's final season dropping in June to Wednesday's sophomore chapter premiering in August. July is, comparatively, a lighter month. But there are absolutely still new and rising series to put on your radar. Lena Dunham returns to TV with the upcoming rom-com series Too Much, starring Hacks' Megan Stalter and The White Lotus' Will Sharpe. And if that doesn't get you laughing, try the Japanese anime Sakamoto Days. The action comedy focuses on an assassin turned convenience store owner trying to live in peace away from the mobster world. 

Also entering a new chapter in his life is Happy Gilmore. Adam Sandler reprises his role from the '90s sports comedy in Happy Gilmore 2, which premieres nearly 30 years after the original film.

And don't miss the new reality competition series Building the Band. The show features the late Liam Payne, who passed away in October 2024, as a musical judge, joined on the panel by renowned artists Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland.

Here are the shows and movies coming to Netflix in July — as well as what's leaving.

The best new Netflix movies and shows in July

Building the Band (July 9) 

In this new reality competition series, 50 singers must decide who they want to form a band with. The catch? They are in individual booths à la Love Is Blindand cannot see the other contestants — they can only hear them. Once the bands are formed and the artists meet, they compete in front of a panel of judges that includes Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland, and the late Liam Payne. The judges, along with host AJ McLean, have belonged to some of the world's biggest musical groups. [Trailer] 

Too Much (July 10) 

Excellent news for people of a certain age: Girls creator Lena Dunham is finally returning to TV. ("Wait, you forgot about Camping—" No, I didn't.) In Too Much, Dunham's new romantic comedy series, Megan Stalter stars as Jessica, a New Yorker who moves to London after a bad breakup. There, she meets Will Sharpe's Felix, with whom she strikes up a surprising connection. The supporting cast includes Andrew Rannells, Janicza Bravo, Rhea Perlman, and Richard E. Grant. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2 (July 14)

The old gangster movie trope "I keep trying to get out, but they keep pulling me back in" is very apropos for the Netflix anime Sakamoto Days, an adaptation of Yuto Suzuki's action-comedy manga of the same name. Convenience store owner Taro Sakamoto attempts to live a quieter life after retiring from being Japan's top hitman. Unfortunately, a bounty on his life means that half of his customers are professional assassins trying to kill him. It's Kim's Convenience meets John Wick, and it's a surprisingly lethal (and funny) combination. -Tim Surette [Trailer] [Everything to know about Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2]

Happy Gilmore 2 (July 25)

Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore comes out of retirement in this sequel to the 1996 film. Thirty years after winning his first Tour Championship, Happy is returning to the golf course with the goal of paying for his daughter's school. Sandler is joined by Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Ben Stiller, all of whom are reprising their roles from the original movie. New cast members include Margaret Qualley and Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (aka Bad Bunny). [Trailer]
