New on Netflix for July: Old Franchises Rule the Month
by EG
The list of new TV series and movies coming to Netflix in July 2016 is dominated by movies that are not very new. Several classic movies franchises will come to the service in their entirety, including the original films and not just their sub-par sequels. The month's departures are newsworthy, too, as several high-profile films disappear from Netflix's catalog this month.
The parade of film franchises debuting on the service includes Lethal Weapon (four films), Back to the Future (three films) and Beverly Hills Cop (two films). Franchises that are offering sequels without the originals include Blade (Blade 2), Jackass (Jackass Number Two) and Death Race (Death Race 2 and Death Race 3: Inferno).
Among the films leaving Netflix in July are the entire original Star Trek franchise and the Stanley Kubrick films 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange. Ice Age: The Meltdown will also leave Netflix in July ahead of the release of the franchise's latest installment, Ice Age: Collision Course.
New TV series debuting on Netflix this month include MTV's The Shannara Chronicles, Stranger Things, Magi: The Adventures of SInbad, Deep and Marcella.
