The series July 2023 offers many sequels. “Sweet Magnolias”, “Good Omens” or “The Lincoln Lawyer” are waiting for the subscribers of the streaming services with further seasons. At the end of the month, Netflix will show the final episodes of The Witcher, starring Henry Cavill before Liam Hemsworth replaces him.
Great Expectations is an epic series from director Ridley Scott coming to Disney. And “Chapelwaite” sees Adrien Brody on the verge of insanity. In addition, the second season of “D.P.”, a highly acclaimed series from South Korea, which focuses on the abuses in the military, will be released.
Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Co. have these and more series to offer in July.
On July 20, Netflix presents the third season of the successful series “Sweet Magnolias”. A total of ten new episodes are waiting for the fans. Friends Maddie, Dana Sue and Helen said goodbye to their friend Miss Frances at the end of Season 2. The trio also goes through a lot when it comes to love. Helen (Heather Headley, 48) stands between two men, Maddie (Joanna García, 43) struggles with her husband’s dropouts. Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott, 48), on the other hand, faces a happy ending.
A chapter comes to an end when Netflix shows the last three episodes of the third season of “The Witcher” from July 27. The successful series continues, but without the main actor Henry Cavill (40). At the end of the second season Geralt (Cavill), Ciri (Freya Allan, 21) and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra, 26) allied themselves. However, there are powers across the continent that want to seize Ciri. What these kingdoms are up to is now to be revealed in the third season.
Netflix has already ordered the fourth season of “The Witcher” – but with Liam Hemsworth (33) in the role of Geralt. It is questionable whether the fantasy cracker will be as successful in the future without its original main actor.

As in the first season, the events of season two are based on the young adult novels of the same name by author Jenny Han (Original: “The Summer I Turned Pretty”).
Originally only one season was planned for the Prime Video series “Good Omens”. However, after it convinced so many viewers in 2019, the second season will be available on the streaming service on July 28th.
