Streaming platforms are poised for a significant wave of new and returning content in July 2025, offering subscribers a diverse array of television series, films, and documentaries. Major services including Netflix, Disney Plus, Max (the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max, encompassing HBO programming), Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV Plus are among those scheduled to release highly anticipated titles.
This summer month is set to feature the return of several fan-favorite series for new seasons, alongside the debut of entirely new shows and a slate of original streaming movies.
Anticipated Returning Series
Among the most notable returns is the third season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” the popular romantic drama based on the novels by Jenny Han. Viewers can also look forward to the continuation of the acclaimed science fiction universe with “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season 3, promising more voyages for the USS Enterprise crew under Captain Pike. Apple TV Plus’s ambitious sci-fi epic “Foundation” is also scheduled to deliver its third season, continuing the complex narrative adapted from Isaac Asimov’s seminal works.
Major New Series Debuts
July 2025 will introduce several new series to the streaming landscape. Crime drama fans may be drawn to “Dexter: Resurrection,” a title suggesting a potential revival or continuation within the universe of the iconic character. Other new shows set to debut include the series “Untamed” and “The Institute,” though further details regarding their premise and cast are awaited.
Featured Streaming Movies
The film slate for July is equally noteworthy, featuring prominent sequels and original productions. Adam Sandler is expected to return in the long-anticipated comedy sequel “Happy Gilmore 2.” Action and fantasy enthusiasts can anticipate the release of “The Old Guard 2,” continuing the story of immortal mercenaries first introduced in the 2020 film. Additionally, the original movie “Heads of State” is among the films scheduled to arrive.
Key Release Dates in Early July 2025
The initial days of July 2025 will see several significant releases and season finales. On July 1, the miniseries “Ironheart,” part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is scheduled to air its finale episode on Disney Plus, bringing its story to a conclusion.
July 2 is particularly busy. Hulu will present the season 2 finale of the drama series “Nine Perfect Strangers.” Simultaneously, Paramount Plus is set to premiere the third season of the animated children’s series “Dora.” Most notably, July 2 marks the original movie premiere of “The Old Guard 2” exclusively on Netflix, making the highly awaited action sequel available to subscribers worldwide.

Rounding out the notable early July dates, July 9 is scheduled for the season 2 premiere of the popular post-apocalyptic action-comedy series “Twisted Metal” on Netflix.
Broader Platform Offerings
Beyond these highlighted titles, the full July 2025 calendars for Netflix, Disney Plus, Max, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV Plus are expected to include a wide variety of other films, series, documentaries, and specials catering to diverse tastes. While specific comprehensive schedules for all platforms are typically released closer to the month itself, the titles confirmed thus far indicate a robust period for streaming entertainment.
Subscribers across these platforms can look forward to a mix of established franchises continuing their narratives, exciting new concepts making their debut, and major film releases bypassing traditional theatrical windows for direct streaming availability.
The concentration of high-profile premieres and returning hits positions July 2025 as a key month for streaming services as they compete for viewer attention in the competitive digital entertainment landscape. Audiences are encouraged to monitor official announcements from each service for complete schedules and any potential changes.
