In this post, I’m giving you the top 7 Netflix shows to watch in July 2025, handpicked for all you lovers of good content, plot twists, romance, mind games, suspense, and chaotic humor. Whether you're in the mood to laugh, cry, or question humanity as a whole, there's something for you on this list.

1. Black Mirror (Season 7)

Genre: Sci-Fi / Psychological Thriller

Mood: "What the heck did I just watch?"

If you've been watching “Black Mirror” since the early seasons, then you already know that this series is like a prophetic warning wrapped in disturbing tech fiction. The newest season, which just dropped in early July, pushes the envelope even further.

One of the standout episodes this season is titled "Motherboard", and it dives into the dark side of parental control and AI surveillance. Without spoiling too much, imagine your childhood trauma—but recorded, uploaded, and monetized. Yeah, it’s deep.

There’s also "Echo Chamber," an episode about a world where you can physically block people from real life. It’s equal parts hilarious and terrifying.

Why you should watch it: Black Mirror is not just a show—it’s an experience. You’ll laugh nervously, panic subtly, and probably delete one or two apps afterward.

2. Bridgerton (Season 4)

Genre: Romance / Period Drama

Mood: "Love is war… with corsets and tea."

Everyone’s favorite high-society romance is back with a bang. And this time, the spotlight is on Francesca Bridgerton, the quietly elegant sibling who finally gets her time to shine—and fall in love.

If you're the type that loves slow-burn romance with dramatic reveals, forbidden love, ball gowns, and scandalous letters under moonlight, then this season is your plate of jollof rice. It's steamy, emotional, and beautifully written.

Also, the iconic Lady Whistledown returns with even juicier gossip, and her identity drama continues to unravel in unexpected ways.

Why you should watch it: Because sometimes, you just want to escape reality and enter a world where heartbreaks are poetic and love looks like a painting.

3. The Night Agent (Season 3)

Genre: Action / Political Thriller

Mood: “Everybody is a suspect. Even your shadow.”

Peter Sutherland is back again, and the tension is thicker than ever. Season 3 picks up right where the last one ended, and this time, the stakes are global. New enemies, deeper betrayals, and secrets buried in places the FBI can’t even access.

Think: phone calls in the dead of night, car chases in Washington D.C., and government cover-ups that make you want to shout “Wetin be this?!”

This season also introduces a new villain—a former intelligence officer turned rogue—who might just be the series' most dangerous character yet.

Why you should watch it: If you like adrenaline-pumping stories with sharp writing and characters who actually make smart decisions (most of the time), then this is your perfect Netflix pick.

4. That ’90s Show (Season 2)

Genre: Comedy / Sitcom

Mood: “Good vibes and nostalgia.”

Let’s switch gears a bit and talk about laughs. After the surprise success of the first season, "That '90s Show" returns with even more chaos, teenage awkwardness, and hilarious throwbacks.

Leia Forman is navigating her teenage years in the most awkward but lovable way possible, surrounded by a gang of misfits that somehow remind us of our own high school friends. Or enemies.

This season dives deeper into friendships, crushes, and the good ol’ MTV-era drama. Plus, the cameos from the original cast are just the sprinkle of nostalgia you didn’t know you needed.

Why you should watch it: Because sometimes, you just want to laugh, vibe, and remember when life was simpler and you only worried about curfews—not bills.

5. Supacell

Genre: Sci-Fi / Superhero Drama

Mood: “Power with purpose.”

This British sci-fi series has been gaining major buzz since it dropped in late June—and now it’s trending heavily into July for all the right reasons.

“Supacell” follows a group of Black South Londoners who suddenly discover they have superpowers. But unlike most superhero shows, this one has heart. It's deeply rooted in real-world issues—systemic racism, family struggles, and the hard choices that come with power.

Michael, the lead character, can literally time travel. But can he change the future enough to save someone he loves? That’s where the emotional punch lands.

Why you should watch it: It’s refreshing, it’s powerful, and it’s the kind of show that reminds you why representation matters. Also, the cinematography is mad!

6. Sweet Home (Season 3)

Genre: Horror / Fantasy / Action

Mood: “Don’t watch this alone. You’ve been warned.”

This Korean horror-thriller has built a cult following over the years, and Season 3 finally gives us the madness we’ve all been craving.

The show centers around humans turning into monsters based on their deepest desires, and now in this third season, things get bloodier, deeper, and even more philosophical. It’s not just about surviving anymore—it’s about what makes us human.

The CGI is impressive, the story is darker, and the monsters? Whew. Goosebumps. Full package.

Why you should watch it: For the adrenaline, the character development, and the thrill of watching something totally unpredictable.

7. The Umbrella Academy (Final Season)

Genre: Superhero / Fantasy / Drama

Mood: “One last ride with the dysfunctional fam.”

It’s the end of the world… again. And our favorite misfit siblings are back one last time to (maybe) save it.

“The Umbrella Academy” wraps up its chaotic, heartfelt, timeline-bending saga with its final season in July 2025. Expect emotional goodbyes, epic battles, and probably one last time someone says “This timeline is broken.”

This season digs deep into family bonds, redemption arcs, and some wild powers that no one fully understands. And if you've followed the series this far, prepare to get all the feels.

Why you should watch it: Because saying goodbye to a series this iconic deserves full attention, snacks, and maybe a few tissues.

Honorable Mentions (Just in Case You’re Greedy for More):

“One Day” – A limited romantic drama that’s still trending.

“The Gentlemen” – Stylish crime drama with British finesse.

“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” – For those who still haven’t watched the prequel.

“3 Body Problem” – A mind-bending sci-fi thriller from the creators of Game of Thrones. (Still making waves!)

What makes these shows stand out isn’t just their hype—it’s the quality of storytelling, the diverse cast, and the fact that you’ll still be thinking about the characters long after the credits roll.
