11 new and returning Netflix shows arriving this week (June 29-July 5)
We share the list of all the shows, movies, and specials coming to Netflix every month, but with as much content as the streaming service releases, it can be hard to keep track of it all. We are here to help with a breakdown of all the new and returning shows hitting Netflix this week, from comedies and dramas to reality shows and docuseries.
Netflix rolls out several original series every week, but licensed shows from other networks have become a rarity in recent years. That's why this week is so notable, as Netflix's streaming library is adding three bingeable series in the form of Mr. Robot, Portlandia, and Mom. If you're looking for shows to sink your teeth into, you've got three great new options.

Netflix says this harrowing documentary series about the 7/7 bombings on London's trains and subways that killed 52 people and injured hundreds more features 'insider accounts and never-before-seen footage' from the terror attacks.
Long-running sitcoms are the comfort food of streaming, and this week, Netflix is getting a large helping with all eight seasons of Mom. The series ran from 2013 to 2021, starring Anna Faris as a single mother and recovering alcoholic who moves to Napa, California, and Allison Janney as her mom, who is also a recovering addict.
The search and rescue dog Ryder and his crew are back with two more seasons of the insanely popular children's animated TV show Paw Patrol on Netflix. If you have kids, prepare for them to be completely obsessed with the latest episodes for at least the next few weeks.
In 2011, SNL alum Fred Armisen and Sleater-Kinney frontwoman Carrie Brownstein teamed up to create Portlandia, one of the most peculiar sketch comedy shows you'll ever see. Set in and around the city of Portland, Oregon, the show features sketches starring Fred and Carrie as a rotating cast of eccentric characters, often joined by guest stars such as Andy Samberg, Parker Posey, Jason Sudeikis, Greta Gerwig, and Heather Graham.
Showtime continues to drip-feed Netflix audiences one of its biggest shows of the decade. This week, the second season of the thriller series Yellowjackets makes its way to Netflix, picking up two months after the death of a major character in season 1.
Netflix quietly canceled its behind-the-scenes sports documentary series Tour de France: Unchained earlier this year, but fans still have one more season to watch. The third season covers the 2024 Tour de France, which started in Florence, Italy, and finished in Nice, France.
Before Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano face off for the third time live on Netflix on July 11, you can see behind the curtain in Countdown: Taylor vs. Serrano. The docuseries follows their training and preparation leading up to the highly-anticipated bout.
Sam Esmail's drama thriller series Mr. Robot aired on USA Network for four seasons from 2015 to 2019, giving Rami Malek a role that catapulted him into stardom. Malek plays Elliot Alderson, a talented hacker who suffers from anxiety, depression, and dissociative identity disorder. He is recruited to join a hacking collective known as 'fsociety,' which seeks to take down the monolithic conglomerate E Corp and cancel all consumer debt.
The second and final season of The Sandman debuts this week, kicking off the final chapter of one of the most popular Netflix fantasy shows. The new season begins a few weeks after Dream destroyed the Dream Vortex that threatened to destroy reality.

An AI-generated rock band topped 500,000 listeners on Spotify
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Generative AI software isn't just for creating text, photos, and videos. AI can also make audio, which requires synthesizing speech, background audio, and music for AI video services like Veo 3, or creating music that sounds like something you'd stream on Spotify or Apple Music. Fuzz AI is an example of the latter, a music streaming experience with AI at the center. While I don't mind artists embracing AI tools, whether via video or song, I want to be forewarned that a creation has been altered or created with AI. I can then decide to experience it knowing that I might run into AI-generated content or AI slop. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Not all people using AI will be quick to admit they're doing so with their art, though. The latest example is an AI band called The Velvet Sundown, which doesn't exist in real life. Whoever generated them managed to reach 500,000 listeners on Spotify in just a few weeks. According to Ars Technica, some Spotify users posted messages on social media about a week ago, warning that The Velvet Sundown might be an AI band. AI band in recommended with 300k monthly with only two release's (both 2025) byu/VisitCharming4446 intruespotify These posts went up on social media a couple of weeks after The Velvet Sundown joined the streaming service. During that time, the fake band topped 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. At the time of this writing, the AI band has over 550,000 monthly listeners. It's not like people are actively looking for the band. More likely, Spotify's algorithms surface songs from The Velvet Sundown's two albums. That's how they reach thousands of people who might listen to the songs without realizing or caring that it's AI-generated content. Spotify doesn't label the band as AI. The artist page for The Velvet Sundown has a 'Verified Artist' checkmark. The band is also present on Deezer, which has a tougher stance on AI. The band's bio on Deezer does say: 'Some tracks on this album may have been created using artificial intelligence.' Here's what the band's description read on Spotify, at least until a few days ago: The Velvet Sundown don't just play music they conjure worlds. Somewhere between the ghost of Laurel Canyon and the echo of a Berlin warehouse, this four-piece band bends time, fusing 1970s psychedelic textures with cinematic alt-pop and dreamy analog soul. Their sound is all velvet reverb, swirling organs, tremolo-soaked guitar lines, and voices that sound like they've been unearthed from forgotten reels of tape. The AI band has two albums out on Spotify and plans to release a third soon. That might be a dead giveaway that we're not looking at a real band. It so happens that John Oliver tackled AI slop on a recent Last Week Tonight episode, which included an AI band called The Devil Inside that made no fewer than 10 albums in the past two years. Ars points out that the two fake bands have many songs that reference dust and wind, suggesting they might share a common AI model. There's no established connection between the two AI bands, though. While there's no official confirmation that The Velvet Sundown is an AI band, there is more evidence that there aren't any human members. The band created an Instagram profile a few days ago as people were questioning its existence on social media. The Instagram account features photos showing the band's members that appear to be created using AI. One image has four people sitting at a table, celebrating the success of their first two albums on Spotify. The 'photo' looks good, but features telltale signs of AI. Just look at the number of burgers and plates, the strange position of the glasses, and that unmistakable AI look of humans. Look at the symmetrical faces and the image's overall smoothness. You can use AI to make lifelike images, like the new Higgsfield Soul tool, assuming you're aware of it or have access to it. But one wouldn't be able to hide an AI band for long. Again, there's nothing wrong with AI music on streaming services like Spotify. After all, The Beatles used AI to launch a hit song. But listeners should at least be warned that they're about to hear AI-made songs. Some people might listen to it regardless of labels or warnings, while others might skip it. What's certain is that AI bands like The Velvet Sundown are taking the place of real artists in Spotify playlists, depriving them of revenue.

Mansion used in Julianne Moore's 'Sirens' is real and on Long Island
Siren song. Emmy-nominated production designer John Paino exclusively told The Post that the lavish mansion in the Netflix series 'Sirens' was real, not just a set. While the interior scenes were shot at a soundstage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, he explained that the exterior scenes of the house were filmed 'on the north shore of Long Island near Southport.' Advertisement Paino, who also did production design for 'Big Little Lies,' 'The Morning Show,' and 'The Last of Us,' said, 'It is a summer home of very wealthy people, so we actually did a little scouting in Boston to look at some outrageous houses of some of the rich.' 8 John Paino attends the 28th annual Art Directors Guild Awards on February 10, 2024 in Hollywood. Getty Images He continued that the particular mansion they picked 'has a certain white New England look to it,' teasing, 'This house is on steroids – everything is big boned and dialed up to 11.' Advertisement Now streaming on Netflix, 'Sirens' follows Devon (Meghann Fahy, 'The White Lotus'), who thinks her sister, Simone (Milly Alcock, 'House of the Dragon'), needs to be rescued from her new job. Simone has been working for the wealthy socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore), who Devon thinks is running a cult at her lavish beach estate. Kevin Bacon co-stars as Michaela's husband, Peter, and 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' star Glenn Howerton plays their friend and Simone's boyfriend, Ethan. 8 Milly Alcock and Julianne Moore in 'Sirens.' 8 Glenn Howerton, Milly Alcock and Meghann Fahy in 'Sirens.' ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement To get the right look for Michaela's home, although they used the real facade of the Long Island house, they added to it, he explained. 'Basically, the house was not big enough. We built facades on top of it to make it appear bigger. The style is based on old architecture with nods to classical Greek architecture, like the temple of Delphi. That's why we have our atrium interior, which feels like a big museum.' There's a scene in 'Sirens' when Ethan (Howerton) accidentally takes a drunk plunge off a cliff. Paino explained that the house really was situated 'on a beautiful cliff – which was important to our story. It had great views of the ocean. The house was a starting off point. We added pergolas and facades and part of a turret.' 8 The set on 'Sirens.' Macall Polay/Netflix Advertisement 8 The house's kitchen on 'Sirens.' Macall Polay/Netflix 8 The set on 'Sirens.' Macall Polay/Netflix He added, 'A bit of it was influenced by Nantucket.' Paino said that his inspiration for the color palette, which includes preppy pinks and pastels, was the 1965 film 'Juliet of the Spirits' by Federico Fellini. Since he worked on 'Big Little Lies,' the production designer is no stranger to designing the aesthetic of the uber-wealthy. The key? 'I think an outrageous dressing room and wardrobe area. We had some really nice ones here… the wardrobes and closets showcase things for that kind of wealth. So ['Sirens'] was 'Big Little Lies' really ramped up,' Paino shared. His favorite setpiece on 'Sirens' was the 40-foot anchor on the front lawn. 8 Julianne Moore as Michaela, Kevin Bacon as Peter Kell in 'Sirens.' MACALL POLAY/NETFLIX Advertisement 8 The huge anchor on the front lawn in 'Sirens.' Macall Polay/Netflix 'That was fun and that tells you a lot about Michaela. When you go around to places in New England, you see anchors on people's lawns.' He added, 'That was my idea because I had just seen so many anchors. In theory, the husband's wealth is ancient from old New England whaling. It's conceivable that there would be an anchor that big. And, we made sure the barbs on the end look like birds' claws as a nod to Michaela.'
