BINGE-WORTHY SERIES TO ADD TO YOUR LIST:
If your favorite show or movie isn’t premiering until later in the month, check out these highly-rated films and series premieres from July while you wait for August’s new titles to drop.
Orange Is the New Black: Season 6
While the premise for season 6 is still unknown at press time, Orange Is the New Black generally focuses on the varying lives of inmates at a female prison. At the beginning of season 5, tensions were at an all-time high after a prison occupancy for better inmate rights turned into a riot. Viewers were left with a season-ending cliffhanger that included Dayanara (Dascha Polanco) pointing a gun illegally brought in by one of the guards (Michael Torpey).
Season 5 also ended in a cliffhanger after the entire season covered just three days. Gloria, Taste, Frieda, Piper, Alex, Nicky, Black Cindy, Suzanne, Red and Flores’ fates were all left uncertain as a SWAT team blew through the door to their bunker. Fans should expect a drama-gripped season 6.
‘COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE: FRESHLY BREWED’
Jerry Seinfeld is back in the driver’s seat of his fancy car alongside other comedians and celebrities in the first episodes of his interview series since it moved from Crackle to Netflix. The 25-minute episodes will feature interviews with the likes of Alec Baldwin, Dave Chappelle, Ellen DeGeneres, Zach Galifianakis, John Mulaney and the late Jerry Lewis.
Streaming on Netflix now.
‘WYNONNA EARP’ SEASON 2:
If you’re looking for a supernatural horror series, Wynonna Earp will be your new favorite show. Originated in comic books by Beau Smith, Wynonna Earp explores the great, great granddaughter of Wyatt Earp as she fights the reincarnated bodies of the men he already killed using her “Peacemaker” revolver. She also takes on other supernatural villains, but the series has grown beyond its original concept in Season 2.
Streaming on Netflix now.
‘LUKE CAGE’:
Marvel fans know the story of Luke Cage (Mike Colter), a former convict with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin who transforms to fight crime and corruption.
The show is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and shared continuity with the franchise’s films. Luke Cage was also the third in a series of shows to stem from The Defenders, alongside Daredevil and Jessica Jones. The production company has since released Iron Fist and The Punisher, as well.
All episodes of the first season premiered in September 2016 and were met with positive reviews. In December 2016, Netflix renewed Luke Cage for a second season that was released on June 22, 2018.
‘THE RAIN’ SEASON 2:
The first Danish original series from Netflix is set six years after a virus carried by the rain kills everyone in Scandinavia. Two siblings emerge from their underground hideout and discover the entirety of civilization has been wiped out — minus a few other survivors, of course.
Most of the survivors are young, giving the show a coming-of-age vibe. Love, jealously, trying to build a better world while being haunted by the past — you know, the usual.
Streaming on Netflix now.
