The Karate Kid Netflix

Conventional wisdom would tell us that horror releases would most likely do their best if released in the month of October. Then again, if you’re a true fan of frightening and fiendish things, Netflix’s July 2021 new releases like the Fear Street trilogy and Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness are a welcome sight. But don’t worry, because if you’re not into the scary stuff, there’s still plenty of other titles to look forward to including fan-favorites like The Karate Kid, Django Unchained and the Twilight Saga. Take a look at when everything new will be hitting the streaming service this summer.

Netflix’s Movie Highlights For July 2021

The wait is finally over, friends! Netflix’s Fear Street Trilogy is finally going to be unleashed upon the public, over three consecutive weeks. Based on R.L. Stine’s classic literary franchise, the towns of Shadyside and Sunnyvale find themselves at the center of an insidious evil that’s definitely not PG-rated. So you may want to watch these terrifying films before showing them to your children.

You could say the same about our next Netflix original film, except when it comes to Karen Gillan and her Gunpowder Milkshake ensemble, that R-rating is for action packed brutality. While there’s no curses here, there is Lena Headey, Carla Gugino, Angela Bassett, and Michelle Yeoh packing so much firepower, their enemies may as well be milkshakes. It’s gonna get real pulpy, real fast and the results look quite exciting.

Some months, the Netflix originals are more exciting than some of the classics heading to the subscription streamer. July of 2021 will not be one of those months. In fact, tons of franchise films will be hitting the streaming, including the whole of the Austin Powers and Twilight Saga, as well as the aforementioned The Karate Kid. Overall, there's a lot to look forward to on the movie front.

Netflix’s TV Highlights For July 2021

Speaking of waits that have felt like an eternity, Netflix’s breakout comedy I Think You Should Leave finally returns for Season 2! With Tim Robinson and his usual gang of comedic performers bringing their unique brand of humor back to the streaming world, there’s no telling what memes will result from this round. And should Bart Harley Jarvis rear his dastardly head, you know what to shout. Virgin River and Outer Banks will also be back, so if you are a fan, be sure to get those dates onto your calendar.

Circling back to the world of horror, we’ve still got a couple months until Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City makes its way to theaters. But that shouldn’t stop you from digging into the further adventures of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield’s battle against the undead. As the Netflix original series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness debuts in its first season in July, creatures season is opening a little earlier than expected; so you’d better be prepared.

If you’re a Netflix subscriber, July 2021 is quite a frightening place to be. Of course, what’s even scarier is looking for a title you’re excited to watch, and not finding it. So be sure to check this schedule often, as all titles are subject to change and availability. We’ll see you again around this time next month, when August 2021’s Netflix lineup will be revealed like a dark and terrible secret. Good luck keeping the lights on until we meet again.
