If you are building a Netflix watchlist for July 27 to August 2, 2026, use this date-first checklist: Tudum arrivals midweek, the August 1 catalog wave (including Fast and Furious), and the August 1 exits you should finish first.
US menus move with license windows. Confirm the Netflix title page before you plan a marathon night.
Arriving July 27 to July 31
Netflix Tudum's July slate and the July 24-30 What to Watch roundup line up on these dates:
Monday, July 27 - Hannibal (Seasons 1-3) - TÁR (2022)
Tuesday, July 28 - Mary Beth Barone: Galaxy Brain (Netflix comedy special) - The Exorcism (2024)
Wednesday, July 29 - A Private Life - Final Project - Gear Heads (Season 1)
Thursday, July 30 - The Bombing of Pan Am 103
Friday, July 31 - Terry McMillan Presents: His, Hers & Ours
Drama priority is Hannibal. Tudum's Hannibal explainer confirms Seasons 1-3, with Hugh Dancy as Will Graham and Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Lecter. Same-day prestige option: Cate Blanchett in TÁR. Tuesday splits between Barone's stand-up hour and Russell Crowe's The Exorcism.
Official trailer: The Bombing of Pan Am 103
Thursday's headliner is the limited series Netflix sets for July 30.
On Dec. 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 270 people. What followed was the largest murder investigation in the history of Scottish policing, into the deadliest act of terrorism on British soil.
That logline is from Netflix Tudum's The Bombing of Pan Am 103 page, which also locks the global Netflix date as July 30, 2026. Cast called out there includes Connor Swindells, Patrick J. Adams, Merritt Wever, Peter Mullan, Tony Curran, Eddie Marsan, and Kevin McKidd.
August 1 catalog wave and Fast and Furious
Saturday is the volume day. Netflix's Fast and Furious Tudum guide lists this early franchise slate:
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Fast & Furious (2009)
Fast Five (2011)
Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
Furious 7 (2015)
The same August 1 US catalog dump also stacks rewatch bait: Clueless, Speed and Speed 2: Cruise Control, Zero Dark Thirty, Nightcrawler, Elysium, Selma, Field of Dreams, Minions, the Chucky run (Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3, Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky, Cult of Chucky), plus Daddy Day Care, The Hitman's Bodyguard, Holmes & Watson, and Mile 22. Early August also adds Ingrid Goes West. Pick one lane: Fast marathon, Chucky night, or one prestige rewatch.
Leaving August 1
Tudum's August leaving list puts a large batch out on August 1, the same morning new catalog arrives. Finish these first if they are on your list:
Home Improvement (Seasons 1-8)
Hunter X Hunter (2011) (Seasons 1-6)

The Proposal
Borat
Atonement
Hacksaw Ridge
Also exiting August 1: 27 Dresses, Click, Splash, Tootsie, There's Something About Mary, R.I.P.D., I Feel Pretty, and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy leaves a few days later on August 5.
What is not locked here
Regional menus differ. Episode counts and ratings belong on the Netflix title page the day you hit play. This is a planning checklist, not a substitute for My List reminders.
