August is just around the corner and we’re very close to releasing another massive list of titles that you can expect to see on your favourite streaming platforms in Australia next month. But for now, here’s another reminder of everything that’s already dropped on Netflix, Stan, Foxtel, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video and Binge this month, including all the new shows that are yet to hit our screens.
Netflix’s July Highlights
Eat Pray Love (1 July)
Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) thought she had everything she wanted in life: a home, a husband and a successful career. Now newly divorced and facing a turning point, she finds that she is confused about what is important to her. Daring to step out of her comfort zone, Liz embarks on a quest of self-discovery that takes her to Italy, India and Bali.
Gladiator (1 July)
Set in Roman times, the story of a once-powerful general forced to become a common gladiator. The emperor’s son is enraged when he is passed over as heir in favour of his father’s favourite general.

Pitch Perfect (1 July)
College student Beca (Anna Kendrick) knows she does not want to be part of a clique, but that’s exactly where she finds herself after arriving at her new school. Thrust in among mean gals, nice gals and just plain weird gals, Beca finds that the only thing they have in common is how well they sing together. She takes the women of the group out of their comfort zone of traditional arrangements and into a world of amazing harmonic combinations in a fight to the top of college music competitions.
