New on Netflix

Part two of the three-film Fear Street series drops today. Set in 1978, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 is designed as a pretty obvious homage to the Friday the 13th franchise. Also premiering today is the fourth and final season of Atypical, the show about an autistic teenager starring Keir Gilchrist, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Michael Rapaport. Season 3 of romantic drama Virgin River also premieres today alongside season two of the German-language series Biohackers and the French superhero comedy How I Became a Superhero starring Pio Marmai and Benoit Poelvoorde.

Next week, Netflix subscribers can stream Gunpowder Milkshake (July 14), an overdriven, candy-coloured action movie about a sisterhood of professional assassins (played by Karen Gillan, Angela Bassett, Lena Headey, Michelle Yeoh and Carla Gugino) who set out to exact revenge on a crime lord played by Paul Giamatti. On July 15 you can stream season 2 of the Mindy Kaling-created Never Have I Ever, about the trials and tribulations of an Indian-American teenager. Film highlights include It Chapter Two (July 11), The Final Girls and Top Gun (both July 15).

Mike White (Enlightened, Brad’s Status) returns with The White Lotus (July 11), an ensemble black comedy about white privilege starring Sam Rockwell, Jennifer Coolidge and Alexandra Daddario that’s getting great reviews across the board. The next day, you can watch the first two episodes of Catch and Kill, a documentary series based on the book of the same name by Ronan Farrow which looks at the Harvey Weinstein case. Today, you can stream the fourth season of The Good Doctor as well as the latest batch of episodes of Catfish. 

Crave’s movie selection is getting a decent boost this week, with cult horror hit The Empty Man, Van Gogh biopic At Eternity’s End and the first two Kung Fu Panda movies hitting the service today. These are followed by the horror/sci-fi film Sea Fever on July 14.

New on CBC Gem

CBC Gem has season 1 of the rugby drama Head High premiering today; the show was extremely well-received when it premiered in New Zealand. Also available today is season 4 of the British slice-of-life drama Ackley Bridge. CBC Gem has also curated a selection of sports docs to accompany the start of the Olympics. The Stand: How One Gesture Shook the World takes a look at the 1968 Olympics, in which two Black athletes bowed their heads and raised their fists during the National Anthem, while Sports on Fire is a six-part series about athletes who found themselves altering the course of history. Other highlights include Paige, a feature-length documentary about a young surfer as well as a selection of Japanese series of all stripes.
