Man and woman watching Netflix

There are so many different streamers with fascinating and fun content that it can sometimes be hard to choose. Netflix is still arguably the best streaming service available to TV fans due to its combination of original shows and movies, accompanied by legendary favorites from the past. When you consider nostalgia and current tastes, Netflix probably has you covered. Of course, every streaming platform needs to refresh its content to keep us satisfied — this is what will be new on Netflix in the coming weeks.

The Tutor (2023)

The Tutor

Genre Mystery, Thriller
Stars Garrett Hedlund, Noah Schnapp, Victoria Justice

Everyone loves a good summer thriller, right? The Tutor stars Garrett Hedlund as the academic advisor hired to help a rich kid with his schoolwork at his family’s mansion. The real scene-stealer is Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp, who plays the mysterious and troubled youth receiving help from Hedlund’s character. This film is full of the usual twists and turns of the genre, perfect for a quick binge on July 8.

White House Down (2013)

Channing Tatum plays a Secret Service agent who has to protect the President of the United States (Jamie Foxx) when the White House comes under siege by a group of antagonistic outsiders. This was one of the better political thrillers of the early 2010s, and it also came at a time when Tatum was one of the Hollywood A-listers everyone wanted to see. It holds up well in 2023 and will be appearing on Netflix starting on July 1.

Quarterback (2023)

Quarterback
tv-ma 1 Season
Genre Documentary
Cast Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota

The one area where streaming services take a backseat to cable providers is live sports (though that is rapidly changing). Quarterback isn’t exactly live sports, but it is a docu-series focusing on a few QBs of the  2022 NFL season: Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota. The show will give access to on-the-field sights and sounds from the players, who all were generous with their time and willingness to give a peak into their careers in new ways. The show will premiere on July 12, right before NFL training camp picks up.

The Witcher (2019)

The Witcher
tv-ma 3 Seasons
Genre Drama, Action & Adventure, Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Cast Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan
Created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich

The Witcher is about to enter a state of change when Henry Cavill leaves and Liam Hemsworth takes over as the heroic Geralt. This final set of episodes with Cavill is sure to impress with the same set of monsters and grandeur the video game adaptation has become known for. The second volume of season three will premiere on July 27.

BASTARD‼ -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy- (2022)

BASTARD‼ -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-
tv-ma 2 Seasons
Genre Animation, Action & Adventure, Sci-Fi & Fantasy

While Hulu is known for having a lot of anime on their service, Netflix also has its fair share of Japanese animation. BASTARD!! – Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy returns with more sinister fun, witchcraft, and fantastical elements for fans of the first season to enjoy. This new batch of episodes will come out on the last day of the month, July 31.

13 amazing shows you need to watch on Max
Watchmen

HBO Max was one of the most popular streaming services in the world due to its incredibly high-level content and the sheer amount of shows and movies available. You've probably noticed when you log into HBO Max that the platform is now simply rebranded to Max. What does this mean? WarnerMedia and Discovery have merged all of their content into one convenient location. You can still enjoy all of the same stuff like Succession and The Sopranos on Max, and now Discovery+ content like reality shows and cooking competitions, which are now in the library.
From comedy to drama, sci-fi to pseudo-documentary, Max has it all. Other than enjoying some spectacularly produced and acted miniseries entertainment, these shows will also teach you something if you allow them. Let your mind unwind and hope it’s a weekend because some of these are the best shows on Max that will make you want to keep hitting that "Next Episode" button till the sun comes up.

Many science fiction fans will tell you that Dune is perhaps the preeminent work of the genre to have ever been created. Based on the iconic novel by Frank Herbert, the film adaptation from 2021, starring Timothée Chalament and Zendaya, was a roaring success. The story follows a young man named Paul Atreides, tasked with handling a rapidly growing leadership role on the planet Arrakis, a desolate hellscape that has no technological advances but plenty of precious resources for the taking. The strong themes and climactic action sequences helped the first film gain the attention of those who usually aren't interested in sci-fi, and the laundry list of big names in the cast certainly helped.

We finally have a trailer for the sequel, Dune: Part 2. Check it out below:
