July on Netflix sees fan-favourite Cobra-Kai back for the first part of its sixth and final season, and Eddie Murphy returning in another Beverly Hills Cop film, marking 40 years since the star first played smart-mouthed detective Axel Foley, and 30 years since the last franchise installment. You can also look forward to the animated Exploding Kittens, based on the smash-hit card game of the same name by The Oatmeal cartoonist Matthew Inman, and acclaimed anime fantasy The Imaginary, made by Studio Ghibli veterans.
Otherwise, it’s a documentary-heavy month for Netflix in July, with a particular focus on sports, from a look into the very public private life of American gymnast Simone Biles, a series following elite sprinters setting out to become the world’s fastest humans, and a behind-the-scenes peek at the Spanish LaLiga.
