Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom – Picture: The Weinstein Company
Welcome to the calm before the storm in terms of new releases as we await not only the drop of new Stranger Things episodes tomorrow but also see a slew of new movies drop onto the service. We do have new movies and shows to cover today though with seven new releases to run you through. We’ll also check in with what’s trending in the Netflix US top 10s.
Over 30 new releases are expected to hit Netflix tomorrow but also there’s plenty of removals from the service tomorrow. You can find all the July 1st removals here but be warned, you don’t have long. Today sadly also saw the removal of all 12 seasons of Criminal Minds from Netflix.
As a reminder, for those in the United States, Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 will drop dependent on your respective timezone. The East coast will have to wake up at 3 AM to watch while those on the west coast get to watch from midnight.
We’ll be back tomorrow for a full roundup of what’s new on Netflix and throughout the weekend, we’ll cover our highlights.
