By Allison Schonter

Dozens of new TV series and movies are coming to Netflix this week! Netflix is giving subscribers more than three dozen reasons to be excited for this week! As July comes to a close and August begins, 39 new titles will join the Netflix streaming library, including 12 Netflix originals.

This week's streaming roundup includes titles from Netflix's July and August content lists, with the streamer set to end the month with the debut of two Netflix originals – the documentary Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa and the hit series Unsolved Mysteries, which will be back for Season 4. The streamer will then kickstart August on Thursday with dozens of new titles, dropping favorite movies like The Next Karate Kid, Monster House, and six Child's Play films alongside originals including A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Unstable Season 2. This week will also bring a new installment to the SpongeBob SquarePants library when Netflix premieres its original movie Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie on Friday.

You can watch all of these titles and more by signing up for one of the streamer's three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan. Keep scrolling to see everything set to be added to the streaming library this week, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that are set to leave before the end of the month!
