Streaming giant Netflix has a few new seasons of beloved series dropping on the streamer this month, as well as a new show. Fans of Vikings will see the third and final season of Vikings: Valhalla, due to drop on July 11th. The saga continues with Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter), Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), and Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson). Although it’s the final season, fans will also meet two new characters: Maniakes (Florian Munteanu), a fearless Byzantine general who answers only to the Emir, and Erik the Red (Goran Višnjić), Leif and Freydís’ father. The historical fiction series, which premiered in 2021, follows how tension arises between the Vikings and the English in the early 11th century, inspired by characters in Norse mythology.
A week later, Cobra Kai drops Season 6, divided into three parts to complete the series. On July 18th, the first five episodes of part one will be released all at once. Cobra Kai is based on the 1984 film series The Karate Kid. Original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) continues the story from when he first arrived in the Valley in 1984 to the present day, where he’s helped influence a new generation of underdog heroes, formed unlikely alliances, and honored the lessons of his sensei, Mr. Miyagi, in a dojo of his own.
For reality TV lovers, Too Hot to Handle will premiere Season 6 on Netflix on July 19th. The reality dating competition encourages single participants to leave their lives of mingling and flings behind in exchange for committed relationships, offering a maximum prize pot of $250,000 for a couple who can form a strong emotional bond and lay the foundations for a successful relationship.
A new dark comedy titled The Decameron premieres on Netflix on July 25th.
