The final season will delve deeper into the lore of the Endless as viewers are introduced to Morpheus’ long-absent siblings Destiny (Adrian Lester), Delirium (Esmé Creed-Miles), and the prodigal Destruction (Barry Sloane). Their arrival sets the stage for some of the comic’s most celebrated and dramatic arcs, including Dream’s reluctant quest to find his missing brother and a perilous journey back to Hell to undo an ancient injustice.

The entire eight-season, 170-episode run will be available, allowing viewers to follow their complete journey as they attempt to rebuild their lives with the help of a fiercely loyal and hilarious support group.
While Mom delivers plenty of laughs, its true strength lies in its empathetic portrayal of addiction and recovery. The show is rightfully acclaimed for tackling difficult subjects with honesty and grace, earning Janney multiple Emmy Awards for her standout performance as Bonnie.

4) Leviathan
A new, epic anime series makes its global debut on July 10th with the premiere of Leviathan.

The series boasts an impressive creative team, including a score from legendary composer Joe Hisaishi, known for his work with Studio Ghibli. This blend of breathtaking animation, a rich alternate history, and a compelling character-driven story makes Leviathan one of July’s most exciting new releases on Netflix and a must-watch for fans of anime, fantasy, and adventure.
5) The Steve Harvey Show
On July 21st, Netflix adds a dose of ’90s nostalgia as all six seasons of the classic sitcom The Steve Harvey Show become available to stream. The series stars Steve Harvey as Steve Hightower, a talented funk legend from the 70s who trades in his music career for a role as a music teacher and vice principal at a Chicago high school. The show’s comedy is driven by his interactions with the stern but fair principal, Regina Grier (Wendy Raquel Robinson), and his lifelong friends and roommates, Cedric (Cedric the Entertainer) and Lovita (Terri J. Vaughn).

The discovery plunges her into the center of a grim investigation tied to the local opioid epidemic and organized crime, forcing her to confront her demons and addiction in the process. All three seasons will be available for streaming on Netflix.
Hightown is a compelling thriller that functions as both a tense murder mystery and a raw character study.
