Netflix July 2026: Will Ferrell Goes Golfing, Kevin Hart Hits the Bachelor Party, and Heartstopper Says Goodbye

Streaming giant Netflix is loading up July with a slate that promises big names, big laughs, and big farewells. From a third chapter in the Enola Holmes saga to Will Ferrell channeling his inner Kenny Powers on the golf course, the month is packed with celebrity-driven projects designed to keep subscribers glued to their screens. Here's everything you need to know about the hottest July arrivals — and the stars behind them.

Millie Bobby Brown Returns in Enola Holmes 3 (July 1)

The streaming blockbuster that made Millie Bobby Brown a franchise queen returns for a third outing. Enola Holmes 3 sees the young detective face another thrilling period mystery, with her famous brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill) once again lending support. The film reunites Brown with Adolescence writer Jack Thorne and director Philip Barantini, a creative team that has critics buzzing again.

Joining the cast are Louis Partridge, Himesh Patel, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, and the ever-magnificent Helena Bonham Carter. For Brown, this role has cemented her status as one of Hollywood's most bankable young stars — a far cry from her Stranger Things days. The Enola series has become a proving ground for her range, and early reviews suggest the third installment delivers the same winning mix of wit and suspense.

True Crime Goes Next Door with Worst Neighbor Ever (July 1)

Jason Blum, the master of modern horror, brings his producing touch to a new true-crime docuseries. Worst Neighbor Ever is a spinoff of Netflix's Worst Roommate Ever, diving into real-life horror stories where the people next door turn lethal. The series uses compelling testimonials, bodycam footage, and animated reenactments to deliver a chilling reminder: sometimes the most dangerous person is the one who lives right next door.

Netflix Revisits Little House on the Prairie (July 9)

Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved books get a fresh adaptation, and Netflix is so confident it has already ordered a second season before the first even premieres. The series follows the Ingalls family as they carve out a life on the Minnesota frontier in the late 19th century. Alice Halsey, Luke Bracey, and Crosby Fitzgerald lead the cast, with Indigenous actors like Meegwun Fairbrother and Alyssa Wapanatâhk adding authenticity to the period drama.

The move to adapt such a classic property shows Netflix's appetite for nostalgic, family-friendly content — and the early renewal signals that the streamer expects big things from this frontier saga.

Quarterback Season 3 Tackles New Stars (July 14)

The popular sports docuseries returns with a fresh crop of NFL quarterbacks: Jayden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, Cam Ward, and Super Bowl champ Joe Flacco. Quarterback has become a must-watch for football fans, offering unprecedented access to the high-pressure lives of these athletes both on and off the field during the 2025 season. The new season promises more drama, more training-room confessions, and more game-day adrenaline.

Will Ferrell Swings for the Fences in The Hawk (July 16)

If you loved HBO's Eastbound & Down, get ready for The Hawk. Will Ferrell plays Lonnie 'The Hawk' Hawkins, a fallen golf champion who has more than a passing resemblance to real-life maverick John Daly. The sports comedy looks gloriously over-the-top, with Ferrell leaning into his signature brand of lovable absurdity.

The supporting cast is stacked: comedy legends Molly Shannon, Fortune Feimster, Chris Parnell, and the always reliable Luke Wilson (the second Wilson brother to star in a golf comedy for a streamer). For Ferrell, this marks a return to the kind of loud, uninhibited character work that made him a household name — think Talladega Nights meets the fairway.

Korean Historical Drama The East Palace Arrives (July 17)

Netflix continues its love affair with international content with The East Palace, a lavish Korean period drama set in a cursed palace. The story follows Gu-cheon, a man who can traverse the spirit world, and Saeng-gang, a court lady with a hidden past. They are summoned by the king to unearth the palace's dark secrets. Expect stunning costumes, intricate palace intrigue, and a supernatural twist that sets this apart from standard sageuks.

This is the breakout international series of the month, and given Netflix's track record with Korean hits like Squid Game and The Glory, all eyes are on The East Palace to become the next must-binge import.

Heartstopper Forever - The Final Chapter (July 17)

The beloved Heartstopper saga comes to a close with a feature-length film titled Heartstopper Forever. After three hit seasons, Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick (Kit Connor) face their biggest challenge yet: long-distance love as they head off to different universities. Directed by Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice) and written by original author Alice Oseman, the film promises an emotional and fitting goodbye for a series that has touched millions of young viewers worldwide.

For Locke and Connor, Heartstopper has been a career-defining project, catapulting them into the spotlight and sparking conversations about representation and young LGBTQ+ love.

Kevin Hart's 72 Hours - Another Comedy on Netflix (July 24)

Kevin Hart returns to Netflix with 72 Hours, a film about a 40-year-old executive who accidentally gets added to a group chat for a three-day bachelor party with a bunch of twenty-somethings. Directed by Ride Along's Tim Story, the movie is pure escapist comedy with a cast that includes Marcello Hernández, Mason Gooding, Mike Epps, and Teyana Taylor.

Hart has become Netflix's go-to comedy star, and 72 Hours is yet another entry in his ever-growing library. Whether you love him or find him overwhelming, there's no denying his relentless work ethic and his ability to churn out crowd-pleasing hits.

Other Notable Additions

July also brings a treasure trove of library titles, including Hamnet, Wicked: For Good, TÁR, all five Hunger Games films, Scream 1-3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Talk to Me, White Chicks, and many more classics like Fargo, Gone Girl, and Ali. True crime fans can look forward to Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea and The Bombing of Pan Am 103. Reality lovers get The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On Season 4 and Love is Blind: UK – After the Altar.

For those who missed last month's offerings, Netflix's June additions are still available. July promises to be one of the most star-studded months of the year, with something for everyone — whether you're in the mood for cozy period dramas, high-octane sports docs, or laugh-out-loud comedies from Hollywood's biggest names.
