It’s officially binge season, Malta. As the temperature rises, so does the temptation to sink into your sofa, crank the AC, and escape into a new show (or ten). Luckily, Netflix’s July 2025 lineup is positively bursting with binge-worthy content — from dark fantasy epics and crime thrillers to romcoms, animations, and celebrity-packed comebacks.
Whether you’re in the mood to swoon, scream, laugh or gasp, this month’s offerings are set to keep your ‘Continue Watching’ tab overflowing. Here is a list of everything coming to Netflix in Malta this July, along with a few titles that have already made us reach for the remote.
The blockbusters return: sequels, fantasy, and fan favourites
The Sandman – Season 2
Release: 3 July (Vol. 1), 24 July (Vol. 2), 31 July (Vol. 3)
Dream is back, bringing the world of nightmares to life in a way never seen before. The hit adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s graphic novels returns with a bold, beautifully eerie second season, split across three volumes. Expect haunting visuals, mythological mayhem, and that signature blend of philosophy and fantasy fans fell in love with.
The Old Guard 2
Release: 2 July
Charlize Theron reprises her role as immortal warrior Andromache in this high-octane sequel that throws new characters (including Uma Thurman and Henry Golding) into the supernatural fray. If you’re seeking stylish action and emotional stakes, this film is highly recommended.
All eyes on the newbies: from crime thrillers to quirky comedies
Too Much
Release: 10 July
Created by Lena Dunham and set in London, this fish-out-of-water romcom follows a heartbroken New Yorker (played by Megan Stalter) who finds her footing — and maybe love — in a new city. It’s a charming, chaotic, and unashamedly awkward film that we didn’t realise we needed.
The Gringo Hunters
Release: 9 July
This gripping true-crime docudrama follows a real-life Mexican task force tracking down fugitives. With intense chases, morally grey areas, and a gritty visual style, it’s part procedural, part adrenaline rush.
Under a Dark Sun
Release: 9 July
Set in southern France, this mystery series explores a tangled web of small-town secrets, disappearances, and buried trauma. Think Broadchurch but with rosé and Riviera sunsets.
Brick
Release: 10 July
A mysterious black brick wall traps residents of an apartment building in this German psychological thriller. There is no escape, no explanation, only tension. There is an abundance of suspense throughout the film.
Animation, nostalgia, and laugh-out-loud fun
Happy Gilmore 2
Release: 25 July
Yes, really. Adam Sandler is making a comeback, bringing along his friends. With cameos from Bad Bunny and Travis Kelce and a storyline that mixes golf with generational bonding, it’s funnier (and sweeter) than you’d expect.
Leviathan
Release: 10 July
This is a French anime that takes place on the brink of World War I. With aircraft, secret societies and steampunk vibes, it’s a visual feast with emotional heft.
7 Bears
Release: 10 July
For families or fans of quirky cartoons, this animated tale about — you guessed it — seven bears is cute, clever, and surprisingly philosophical.
Leanne
Release: 31 July
From Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory), this sitcom stars comedian Leanne Morgan as a woman starting over after divorce. Think southern sass meets second chances.
Reality bites: documentary drama and live thrills
All the Sharks
Release: 4 July
It’s like Pokémon Snap—but with sharks. Contestants travel the globe snapping the best underwater photos of nature’s fiercest fish. It’s silly, picturesque, and surprisingly addictive.
WWE: Unreal
Release: 29 July
Discover the inner workings of wrestling’s most intense drama. This docuseries focuses on the WWE’s writers and creatives — where the storylines are scripted, but the egos are very real.
Trainwreck (New Episodes)
Release: Ongoing through July
This docuseries unveils more outrageous real-life tales, ranging from mishandled festivals and unscrupulous influencers to live events that descended into chaos.
