Here’s everything that’s coming to Netflix during July 2020 (and a few we can kiss goodbye).
Here's a complete calendar of what's coming to Netflix in July 2020. I've highlighted ones that I think will be most interesting.
DC FanDome update – here are the DC Extended Universe reveals and DC Movies for the next two years.

Will we learn Baby Yoda’s real name in Mandalorian Season 2?
The Child character was created to explore Master Yoda's origin so it is certain that more information about Baby Yoda is forthcoming but thus far, Disney has not revealed his name. This weeks' teaser from Hargrave however, hints that we may soon find out - possibly even in Season 2.
Sony’s decision to halt release of The Interview may be the only smart move they’ve made so far
In the wake of Sony’s embarrassing system breach and data leak, their delay of the upcoming movie, The Interview, may not be the cowering, knee-jerk reaction it appears to be. Assuming the attack against their corporate data systems came from the North Koreans, Sony’s play just might be brilliant.
Music artists’ (e.g. Taylor Swift) power moves over streaming services leaves consumers in uncomfortable three-way
I can’t think of a more uncomfortable three-way than the contradictory relationship between music artists, streaming services, and the music listeners who pay everyone's bills. Between streaming services trying in vain to keep costs down, listeners trembling at the thought of increasing prices, and the music industry’s million-dollar music artists dreaming that the value their work justifies multi-million dollar payouts per music project, it’s no wonder torrent downloads are starting to shoot through the roof again.
Climactic closing scene from HBO’s True Detective S01E04 – dare we call it a cinematic masterpiece?
There’s a lot of buzz going around about the climactic scene from Episode 4 of HBO’s new series True Detective. The complicated, single 6-minute tracking shot follows Rust Cohle (played by Matthew McConaughey) fleeing the scene through two homes and the streets of a ghetto in an attempt to make it to the safety of his partner’s (Martin Hart played by Woody Harrelson) car. To film the scene was no small feat – it required detailed mapping, well-planned traffic control, minute-by-minute placement of nearly a hundred extras, timed special effects, on-the-fly setup of camera tracks, and expert choreography to pull off.
AOL’s kiss of death touches another – Winamp to shut down after 15 years
Started in 1997 by two college students, Winamp gained popularity as the MP3 player of choice for many geeks. Today, thanks to online competition and AOL's inherent ability to ruin anything it touches, Winamp will be closing down on December 20, 2013. At that time, Winamp web services and website (including Winamp downloads) will cease to exist. No longer will we hear the Winamp battle cry, "Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass".
Gravity movie is even more fun when we spot, and explain, the scientific inaccuracies portrayed in the movie
I loved the movie Gravity! The photography was beautiful and the 3D imagery phenomenal to experience. George Clooney was great (while he lasted) and Sandra bullock a pleasant wonder to watch (as always). Still, I couldn’t help but wonder how accurate the portrayal of the space environment really was. As it turns out, the physics were fairly accurate where it mattered and the few inaccuracies in Gravity are just as much fun as the movie itself.
Breaking Bad – Walter White obituary appears in Albuquerque Journal after series finale
The Albuquerque Journal ran a “real-life” obituary this week for Breaking Bad’s lead character, Walter White, following the series finale that closed out a saga filmed almost entirely in Albuquerque during its 8 year run.

Ender’s Game stars Harrison Ford as Colonel Hyrum Graff and Asa Butterfield (Hugo, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas) as Ender Wiggin.
Carrie, third installment of the Stephen King classic, promises to be a more faithful adoption of the book
At some point you gotta say, “enough is enough”. But not just yet! The third Carrie installment is looking like it could be the one that knocks it out of the park. Word is that this installment will be a much more faithful adoption of the original book by the master of horror, Stephen King. The Carrie reboot will tell the Stephen King tale of a bullied girl wreaking violent vengeance with her telekinetic powers. This reboot gets a newly gruesome and gritty appeal thanks to a cast that includes such heralded actresses as Chloe Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore, and Judy Greer. The film was set for release on March 15, 2013,but, by early January 2013, had been moved to October 18, 2013 which will make it one heck of a scary Halloween flick.
Netflix announces new Sci-Fi series, Sense8, from creators of The Matrix and Babylon 5
Following the success of Arrested Development and House of Cards, Netflix has announced a new original series, Sense8. Due in late 2014, it's being developed by the Wachowskis of The Matrix, V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas and Speed Racer fame, as well as J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5. Details are thin, but the press release promises a gripping global tale of minds linked and souls hunted with a ten episode run for its first season.
Stephen King’s Under the Dome mini-series to appear on CBS June 24 followed by Amazon Prime 3-4 days later
Under The Dome, a 13-episode adaptation of a Stephen King novel that’s being produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television will tell the story of a small New England town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The series’ first episode should air June 24 on CBS and in a surprise announcement, will become available to Amazon Prime members 3-4 days after it airs on CBS - a first for Amazon Prime who typically is only allowed to air television show episodes months, or years, after they have appeared on TV.

Amazon aims to beef up its original programming lineup with the announcement of a new television series Zombieland based on the hit comedy movie of the same name and set in the same zombie-filled universe as the feature film that starred Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson. Work on the project is just getting underway and we have no word on when the series will hit Amazon’s Instant Video service.
Original Batmobile sold at auction for $4.6 million to a Batman fan
The Batmobile is a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car built in Italy by the Ford Motor Company and based on the stock Lincoln Mark II automobile. It was bought in 1965 by legendary car customizer George Barris for $1. Barris spent $15,000 to upgrade the car over 15 days to turn it into the Batmobile that was used in the ABC television series, Batman. The car came from Ford with the iconic clear plastic canopy and huge black tailfins but Barris added the parachutes, car phone, and smoke machines. Barris held onto the car until he sold it at the Barrett Jackson auction on Saturday (1/19/13) to an Arizona man, Rick Champagne.
