Summer Movie Lineup on Netflix: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror Titles to Watch Out For
In the realm of cinematic entertainment, movie theaters are bustling with all the ghouls, pop stars, and revitalized classics - making staying at home for a Netflix binge a tempting proposition. Here's a rundown of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror titles that will have you glued to your screen this summer.
May 23 - Fear Street: Prom Queen
Driven by an insatiable curiosity, the Fear Street saga continues with a return to Shadyside High in 1988. Cue the mean girls, misfits, and elusive disappearances! Matt Palmer is at the helm, directing a fine ensemble cast featuring India Fowler, Suzanna Son, Fina Strazza, and Chris Klein among others. Since you can never have too much drama, Lili Taylor and Katherine Waterston are also along for the ride.
June 20 - KPop Demon Hunters
Prepare to groove and slay with this animated action comedy. A trio of K-pop superstars, imbued with an extra asset as demon hunters, find themselves guarding their fans from a boy band of cute, cuddly... monsters?! Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans are the dynamic duo behind the directors' chairs, with powerhouses Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, and Yunjin Kim joining the party.
July 2 - The Old Guard 2
We're getting a blast from the past with this sequel, which received a rather lengthy delay. But hey, the 2020 original was terrific, so we'll forgive the delay! Victoria Mahoney returns as director, leading an all-star cast (including Charlize Theron, Henry Golding, and Chiwetel Ejiofor) in another action-packed adventure inspired by the Greg Rucka-Leandro Fernández comic books. This time, the team faces new challenges: returning foes and a mystery that could unravel the secret of eternal life. Buckle up for some epic action sequences.
July 10 - Brick
Say goodbye to immortal warriors and fond farewell to ordinary couples, because Brick takes the spotlight. When an unassuming pair wakes up trapped behind a mysterious wall with their neighbors, the questions become: "Who locked them away? Why? And can they escape?"
August 13 - Fixed
From the mind of cartoon visionary Genndy Tartakovsky comes this adult animated comedy. A dog plans one last wild night with his pals before undergoing a "snip-snip" procedure. It's a silly premise, but with a cast of comedy heavyweights like Adam Devine, Idris Elba, and Michelle Buteau, we're betting this will be a blast.
Summer TBD - Lost in Starlight
Netflix's first-ever Korean-language animated film tells a heartwarming tale of forbidden love between an astronaut and a musician, separated by, you guessed it, a light-years-long distance.
