New on Netflix: The Best Movies and TV Shows Coming in July

Landing soon on the streaming platform are second seasons of Never Have I Ever, Outer Banks, and I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.

Netflix has unofficially anointed July the Month of the Teen. Several adolescent-aimed projects are hitting the streaming service next month, including second seasons of Mindy Kaling’s delightful coming-of-age comedy Never Have I Ever and Outer Banks, a soapy teen drama filmed on the Carolina coast. Perhaps even more urgently, all five of the Twilight Saga films will be available for streaming. In short, Netflix has ensured that your summer days are filled with hot gossip and forbidden love.

New installments are also on the way for two popular, offbeat comedies. The subversive I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson is back for a second round of awkward sketch comedy antics. Then there’s a farewell season for Atypical, the Peabody-nominated drama about navigating the autism spectrum from the perspective of a teenager. Basically, go ahead and surrender your Netflix queue to the teenage invasion immediately.

Ahead, a list of all the major releases headed to Netflix in July, starting with a few highlights.

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson Season 2 (July 6): Watching an episode of this sketch comedy series from SNL one-season wonder Robinson is a bit of a trip. But he, along with co-creator Zach Kanin and executive producers The Lonely Island (a.k.a. Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone) pull off the absurdist hat-trick time and again. This season welcomes some of comedy’s best and brightest into the fold, including Search Party’s John Early, Shrill’s Patti Harrison, and Bob Odenkirk in a callback to his sketch origins.

Never Have I Ever Season 2 (July 15): The first season of Mindy Kaling’s high school survival story offered up the perfect balance of salty and sweet. Her series centers on Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), a quirky Indian-American teenager who desperately seeks approval after a family tragedy. The first season ends with Devi seemingly achieving semi-popularity, caught in a romantic crossroads between Ben (Jaren Lewison) and Paxton (Darren Barnet). Oh, how we delight in a love triangle.

The Twilight Saga (July 16): There’s just something about a rainy day that makes revisiting the Twilight movies seem like a worthy endeavor. Luckily, all five of the franchise’s films—Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn: Part 1, and Breaking Dawn: Part 2—will soon be in one place for your viewing pleasure. Relive the thrill of vampires playing baseball to a Muse song and the discomfort that can only come from seeing Taylor Lautner “imprint” on a CGI baby named Renesmee. 

Outer Banks Season 2 (July 30): Last year, this One Tree Hill-adjacent drama premiered during a pandemic summer—offering escape to those yearning for a coastal getaway. The show’s second season, however, will premiere during vax summer—a celebration of ill-advised hookups and solving murder mysteries in crop tops. There’s also the matter of unpacking the show’s central cliffhanger: are John B (Chase Stokes) and Sarah (Madelyn Cline) alive or shipwrecked?
