New Releases on Netflix This Week & Top 10 Movies & Series: July 26th, 2024

TGIF! Welcome to your weekly rundown of everything new that’s been added to Netflix over the past seven days (and a look ahead at the two big movies coming this week). We’ll also be looking at what’s been trending in the TV and movie charts this week. 

Next week, we’ll be entering a new month, which means that there will be not only a bunch of new stuff arriving on the first of the month but also a lot of movies and series set to leave. We’ve got you covered with the full list of departures here, and we’ve picked out some movies that should be on your radar before they leave, too.

Let’s get into some of our highlights of this week:

What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend

Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam (Limited Series)

Number of episodes: 3
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Documentary, Crime

Storming its way up the charts at the moment is Dirty Pop and for good reason, it’s one of the best Netflix docuseries of the year so far. At the heart of the multi-layered series is a story about how some of the biggest boy bands of the past few decades were ultimately the victims of a major Ponzi scheme set up by Lou Pearlman.

All American (Season 6)

Number of episodes: 15
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Drama, Sport
Cast: Daniel Ezra, Samantha Logan, Michael Evans Behling
Writer: April Blair
Runtime: 45 min

The CW has all but ditched its scripted lineup, but thankfully, All American keeps on trucking along. The sports drama headlined by Daniel Ezra came back for a slightly abbreviated season compared to the last few years, where we’ve been accustomed to 20 episodes each. 

If you’ve not checked out the show yet, then we’d highly recommend it. It’s a worthy binge, with over 100 episodes at your disposal. For those unfamiliar, here’s what you can expect: “Two worlds collide when a star football player from Crenshaw is recruited to play for Beverly Hills High. Inspired by the life of pro football player Spencer Paysinger.”

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)

Director: Guy Ritchie
Cast: Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander

Note: Note available until tomorrow (July 27th)

If you’re like me, you’re still sitting and waiting patiently for Netflix to finally get around publicly announcing that The Gentlemen has been renewed for a season 2. Given that doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon, we’re thrilled to report that The Man from U.N.C.L.E., perhaps one of Ritchie’s best movies to date, is hitting Netflix tomorrow. 

Starring Geralt himself (Henry Cavill), the movie premiered in theaters nearly a decade ago and brings an update to the classic American spy TV series to new generations. Clocking in at just under two hours, the movie is set during the Cold War, and two unlikely agents are what stand between us and nuclear annihilation. 

Nathalia Aryani was most succinct with her review: “The movie glossily captures the vibe of the era with flair.”
