July is going to be a very good for Netflix subscribers, thanks to some powerhouse TV shows that are on the way.
Although Netflix has perhaps the most impressive lineup of original series on any streamer, all of the really intriguing shows coming in July are from either rival streamers or a premium cable network.
To help you get your binge-watching plans together, the Watch With Us team has selected the three must-watch TV shows coming to Netflix in July.
Our picks include a crime series that used to be a Prime Video original, USA Network’s darkest show, and the second season of a Showtime hit.
‘Sneaky Pete’ (2015 – 2019)
We live in strange times when an Amazon Prime Video original series is coming to Netflix. But Sneaky Pete may find an even larger audience on its new home than it ever had on Prime Video. Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston co-created this series and co-stars as Vince Lonigan, a dangerous gangster who wants revenge on the recently incarcerated Marius Josipović (Giovanni Ribisi).
To hide from Vince, Marius steals the identity of his cellmate, Pete Murphy (Ethan Embry), and passes himself off as the real deal to Pete’s family. Pete’s family has their own issues to deal with, but Marius can’t fully disappear into his new life while Vince is holding his brother, Eddie (Michael Drayer), hostage. Somehow, Marius has to come up with a ridiculous amount of money to save Eddie without tipping off Pete’s family about his true identity.
Sneaky Pete will stream on Netflix on July 10.
‘Mr. Robot’ (2015 – 2019)
Just in time for its tenth anniversary, Mr. Robot is making its Netflix debut this summer. Oscar and Emmy-winner Rami Malek does not play the title character, but he is portraying the main character, Elliot Alderson. Elliot is a gifted cybersecurity engineer by day and vigilante hacker by night who has some serious mental health issues.
Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) sees something special in Elliot and recruits him for fsociety, a group of underground hackers who have big plans to reshape to their liking. Elliot’s decision to join fsociety sends him down a deep rabbit hole that may lead him to questions about himself that he didn’t know he had. This is a mind-bending cyberpunk thriller, and all four seasons will be at your fingertips in early July.
Mr. Robot will stream on Netflix on July 3.
‘Yellowjackets’ (2021 – Present)
Yellowjackets season 1 is already on Netflix, but season 2 is just around the corner. This unexpectedly brilliant series takes place in two time periods. In 1996, an all-girls soccer team survives a plane crash in the wilderness with little hope of immediate rescue. And without meaningful adult supervision, some of these young women are going a bit wild.
In the present, a handful of the crash survivors are eager to keep the secrets about what they did to stay alive three decades earlier. They may even turn on each other if that’s what it takes to maintain their collective silence. Paramount+ with Showtime has all three seasons, if you don’t want to wait. But Netflix subscribers should probably just wait for that season to arrive as well.
Yellowjackets season 2 will stream on Netflix on July 1.
