As hard as it is to believe, it's July. A new month means more goodies that are new on Netflix, like a new "Beverly Hills Cop" flick created specifically for the streamer. And yes, it stars Eddie Murphy.
Murphy returns as Axel Foley, who takes to the mean streets in the 90210 while protecting his daughter. In addition to working with her ex-boyfriend (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to keep his daughter safe, he ends up uncovering a massive plot that could change the way things go down in the glamorous city.
There's also "The Man With 1000 Kids," a bizarre documentary that follows the story of a Dutch man who deceived hopeful parents into using his sperm to have the children they had dreamt of across 11 sperm banks in the Netherlands and across the world.
But there's still more to come beyond that. We've got a complete day-by-day rundown of what's new on Netflix below to get July started.
