LOS ANGELES — As we prepare to cross over into August, Netflix is closing out the month with a monumental wave of content, adding 38 new releases (20 movies and 18 series) to the US library over the past seven days.

The watershed week of July 25, 2026, offers something for every type of subscriber. Whether you are looking for the epic conclusion to a major musical blockbuster, a heavy dose of 90s horror nostalgia, or a soapy neo-Western binge, this week’s lineup has plenty to keep your queue full all weekend long.

Leading the charge is the highly anticipated cinematic conclusion to the Broadway sensation, Wicked: For Good. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, this spectacular follow-up delves into the emotional fallout of Elphaba and Glinda’s friendship as the Wicked Witch of the West is hunted across Oz. Featuring soaring vocals and breathtaking visuals, it is the undeniable movie event of the weekend.

On the television front, Netflix’s soapy, neo-Western hit Ransom Canyon is back for a highly anticipated second season. Starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, the show returns to the picturesque Texas Hill Country, where rival ranching dynasties vie for power, legacy, and land. For fans of dramatic, slow-burn romances, this is the perfect weekend binge.

Rounding out the major film additions is Ordinary Angels, a heartwarming true-story drama starring Hilary Swank as a fierce but struggling Kentucky hairdresser who rallies her entire community to help a widowed father save the life of his critically ill young daughter. It is an uplifting drama that is already making major waves on the Netflix charts.

Additionally, horror fans are being treated to a massive drop of the Scream franchise, with the original 1996 classic, Scream 2, Scream 3, and Scream VI all arriving on the platform this week, perfect for a late-night marathon.

As July 2026 draws to a close, this bountiful selection of premium entertainment ensures that subscribers have more than enough high-quality content to enjoy without ever having to leave the couch.
