Every new Netflix movie, TV show & original series arriving in July

Jessica Biel’s hit series, Orange is the New Black, and the original Jurassic Park trilogy are all here

Matt Patches is an executive editor at Polygon. He has over 15 years of experience reporting on movies and TV, and reviewing pop culture.

Even with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm hustling to serve you new movies, new TV shows, and original programming tailored to your binging habits, the streaming service’s firehose of content makes what’s coming and going difficult to parse. That’s why we’re breaking down each month’s additions (plus the roster from two months prior, and what’s about to bounce from the platform, just so you don’t miss a thing) with a spotlight on what to keep on your radar. Netflix’s own “new releases” category is an info dump. Consider us a picture-in-picture talking head, screaming recommendations at screen.

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Everyone went gaga for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, but few people know this earlier, post-Arrested Development Michael Cera vehicle, which paired him with Kat Dennings (Thor) for music-infused, one-night-in-New-York romance. More of a minor chord when stacked up to the 8-bit glory of Scott Pilgrim, but worth a one-night-at-home viewing.

Sunday’s Illness (Netflix original)

True: Wonderful Wishes (Netflix original)

Voltron: Legendary Defender: Season six (Netflix original)
This mature action and adventure creators Joaquim dos Santos (Avatar: The Last Airbender) and Lauren Montgomery (DC Animated’s Wonder Woman) is so sleek, exhilarating, and light on its feet, you can almost understand why fans spent a weekend railing against Cartoon Network’s plans for a bubbly, fun Thundercats reboot. Almost. Animation fans can enjoy both! But we recommend catching up on this anime-influenced series.

Available June 16

Grey’s Anatomy: Season 14

In Bruges
If you dug Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, or wondered if the movie’s pitch-black, small-town satire could be even sharper, playwright-turned-filmmaker Martin McDonagh’s story of hitmen drowning in grief in one of the quietest cities in the world, is a must watch.

Cooking on High (Netflix original)
The first-ever “competitive cannabis cooking show,” where chefs prepare marijuana-infused dishes for soon-to-be-stoned judges, could either be the next relevant step in evolution for Chopped or be a grueling disaster baked by low-grade pot jokes.

Harvey Street Kids (Netflix original)

Kiss Me First (Netflix original)
This six-episode UK import about a 17-year-old girl addicted to the virtual-reality gaming world “Azana” will either haunt and hit close to home or be yet another finger-wagging morality tale about the trouble with video games. Worth a shot.
