featuring sharks, spies, and senseis. Whether one craves action, chills, or a crane kick to the feels, the streaming giant is playing its strongest hand yet, just in time for your summer watchlist to get seriously stacked.
While summer brings the heat, Netflix is bringing the hits. Three iconic franchises that promise thrills, chills, and feel-good nostalgia in one streaming sweep. Here are the heavyweights lighting up your queue this month.

saga has officially landed on Netflix this July
