London, UK – Netflix is poised to significantly expand its content library in July 2025, introducing a substantial number of new titles across films and documentary series. The streaming giant has confirmed that its July lineup will feature 48 brand new movies, a mix of anticipated originals and licensed features, marking a busy summer period for subscribers.
Following the highly anticipated release of “Squid Game” season 3 in June 2025, the focus shifts to cinema in July, highlighted by several high-profile movie premieres.
Anticipated Film Premieres
Chief among the July film releases is the sequel “Happy Gilmore 2,” a follow-up to the beloved 1996 comedy. Netflix has slated this much-anticipated movie to debut on July 25. The sequel is set to bring back original stars Adam Sandler and Julie Bowen, reprising their roles from the first film. Joining the returning cast are newcomers Margaret Qualley and Ben Stiller, indicating a blend of familiar faces and fresh talent for the new installment.
Another significant addition to the original film slate is “The Old Guard 2.” While details on its specific July release date were not immediately available alongside the “Happy Gilmore 2” announcement, its inclusion underscores Netflix’s continued investment in its established action franchises.
Expanding Documentary Horizons
Beyond feature films, Netflix is also broadening its reach in the documentary space. The platform is expanding its critically acclaimed “Trainwreck” documentary series. This series, which previously explored events such as the “Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy,” will see the addition of five new movies in July 2025. The expansion suggests Netflix is keen to continue offering deep dives into various incidents and phenomena, building on the format’s prior success and viewer engagement.
Early Month Arrivals
The influx of new content begins immediately at the start of the month. As of July 1, subscribers will gain access to several additional films, including the popular titles “17 Again,” “Annie,” and “Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7.” These early month additions ensure a diverse selection of movies is available from day one, catering to varying viewer preferences, from comedy and family entertainment to action-thrillers.
Strategy and Market Position
The release of 48 new movies in a single month highlights Netflix’s aggressive content strategy aimed at attracting and retaining subscribers in a competitive streaming market. By offering a mix of high-profile original sequels like “Happy Gilmore 2” and “The Old Guard 2,” expanding successful documentary formats, and adding licensed library titles, the company seeks to provide continuous value to its global audience. The sheer volume of releases in July 2025, following a major series event like the “Squid Game” season 3 premiere in June, demonstrates a strategic pacing of tentpole content designed to maintain subscriber momentum throughout the summer.
The comprehensive nature of the July 2025 slate, spanning different genres and formats, reinforces Netflix’s position as a major player in the entertainment landscape, committed to delivering a constant stream of new viewing options.
Subscribers can anticipate a busy month ahead, with a wealth of new stories and experiences becoming available throughout July 2025.
