What to watch on Netflix this month July 2025

The Old Guard 2 (July 2)

On July 2, 2025, the Netflix original movie The Old Guard 2 will be available. It is a follow-up to The Old Guard from 2020. Victoria Mahoney is directing the follow-up, which is based on Greg Rucka’s screenplay and the comic book of the same name. It is one of the most eagerly awaited Netflix picks for July 2025. 

Charlize Theron will reprise her role as Andy, the leader of the immortal warriors who are the defenders of humanity. Andy has discovered a new mortality while dealing with Quynh. A new enemy named Discord, who was the first of the immortals, adds to the complexity of the narrative in a mission to save humanity.  

According to The Business Insider, Mahoney’s vision for making this sequel was straightforward. She said, 

“I love a challenge, so I enjoyed the idea of preserving all the factors that made the first ‘Old Guard’ unique and wonderful, and what enticed me and what I understood enticed audiences.” [Source]

Ziam (July 9)

Mark-Prin Suparat stars in the first action-zombie movie on Netflix Phillipines and Thailand, Ziam. Director Kulp Kaljareuk took the zombie appearance to the next level by saying no CGI was used but only special makeup, as per But Why Tho.  

The story revolves around Singh, a professional Muay Thai fighter who wants to spend a peaceful life with his girlfriend, Rin, after retirement. A zombie outbreak takes over the hospital where Rin works as a doctor.  

Singh has a challenge to save Rin and a young boy named Buddy from the zombies. The film is special as Mark had to train hard for Thai martial arts since he had to engage in hand-to-hand combat or boxing with the zombies.

Brick is a drama, mystery, thriller, and sci-fi film about a couple whose apartment building is enclosed with brick walls everywhere. They have to find a way out with their neighbors. 

Directed and written by Philip Koch, it is his third Netflix original project. The film focuses on the mysterious wall of which the trapped neighbors and couple, Tim (played by Matthias Schweighofer) and Olivia (played by Ruby O. Fee) are unaware.  

Almost Cops (July 11) 

A Dutch crime comedy is going to premiere on Netflix in July 2025. Gonzalo Fernandez Carmona is the director of this buddy criminal comedy, which has two team members: a careless demoted detective and a determined special investigator.

They are on a mission to track a killer. We can expect chaos comedy as the two might be struggling to get along. Slapstick comedies with crime scenes become a full blend of comedy and even high-speed chase having no brakes.

Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Destination Wedding (July 11)

Tyler Perry’s A Madea Homecoming (2022) was full of fun and we speculate the same from Madea’s Destination Wedding. Madea’s young granddaughter, Tiffany is about to get married. Her new boyfriend, Zavier, and his family are introduced to Madea’s entire family. 

They both are getting married in the Bahamas in two weeks, and Madea wants no turbulence. Tiffany’s mother, Debrah, thinks she has everything under her control, but she is wrong. Her father, Brian, does not approve of the wedding. 

Will the wedding actually happen when Tiffany starts doubting Zavier and the wedding bells start to fade? 

Almost Family (July 18)

Almost Family is another comedy ride into two families, about to become one, with the wedding of a Brazilian dad’s daughter. He does not want his daughter to marry an Argentinian boy, but he ultimately gives in and takes a flight to meet the boy and his family in Argentina. 

Then comes what is very obvious- a clash of cultures and never-ending competition between the two families, looking for a conclusion to ‘which one is the best’. Will the daughter ever be able to marry the guy of her dreams?

Wall to Wall (July 18)

Wall to Wall is a Netflix Korean thriller film, set to release on the platform in July. The movie is also referred to as ‘84 Square Meter’, directed and written by Kim Tae Joon. It is about Woo-seong (played by Kang Ha Neul) who gives up his everything to buy the apartment straight out of his fantasy. Soon, he realizes that the apartment has unsettling noises.

Slowly, psychological pressure sets in as he has to struggle with interest loans and disturbing noises, leading him to a murder mystery. Is his financial strain worth it?

A Normal Woman (July 24)

Indonesian mystery thrillers have been gaining fame lately that have gripping stories, with embedded themes of social issues that stay with you long after the credits have rolled. A Normal Woman is the same reflection of identity and self-image of womanhood. 

The story unravels a Jakarta socialite (played by Marissa Anita) who thinks an unidentified illness has crept into her body, making her psychologically uncomfortable. With a backdrop of societal pressure, tensions in marriage, and generational dysfunction, paranoia and self-doubt start to penetrate her thoughts. 

Social isolation, issues of identity, and the unbreakable masks women have to wear to embody themselves perfectly despite their undesirableness, this psychological weight is depicted in the film releasing on July 24 on Netflix. 

Happy Gilmore 2 (July 25)

It’s been almost three decades since we saw Happy Gilmore after winning Tour Championship 1996. Now the sequel is prepared for a Netflix release on July 25, where we will see Happy (Adam Sandler) returning to the golf course.

He is there to face younger and intimidating golfers who might challenge him to revive his love for golf. The trailer hints at a family storyline, a happy relationship with Virginia, who encourages him to get back on the ground. 

What is the real aim of Happy? To reignite his passion for the game? Is it something that he wants to finish, or is he there for his family?  

An Honest Life (July 31)

Directed by Mikael Marcimain, Simon Loof plays an integral role in this Swedish thriller, based on Joakim Zander’s novel of the same name. Loof, who plays the role of Simon, is a cynical law student who gets involved in a group of anarchists who have radical ideas of politics and power.

During a violent protest, he comes across a young woman, Max, and finds her attractive. She entraps him in a world of lies, which later, he realizes is too late to escape from. Social hierarchies and the intoxicating charm of rebellion cage him in a web of lies, which makes him a pawn rather than a powerful player.
