Netflix has plenty of options for your viewing pleasure this month as their summer slate finally lands on the platform.

July will see a heap of new films such as the Fear Street trilogy, Gunpowder Milkshake and The Last Letter from your Lover released.

Elsewhere, this summer will see the likes of Never Have I Ever, Virgin River, and Outer Banks picked off where they left off last year.

The documentary series, Explained, also makes a return, as well as Audible and The Movies That Made Us.

So here are some of the best new releases coming to the streaming service in July.

Fear Street Part 1: 1994 (July 2)

This is the first film in Netflix’s new trilogy based on RL Stine’s teen horror novels.

Fear Street Part One: 1994 sees a group of high-schoolers accidentally coming across the ancient evil responsible for a series of brutal murders that have plagued their town for over 300 years.

But don’t let the fact that this trilogy comes from the same creator as Goosebumps fool you – the scares that will play out aren’t for kids and will have viewers cowering in fear.
