Mid-July marks the return of several seasons in progress when it comes to what's new to Netflix this week. It's hard to believe that fall is right around the corner as we continue to careen through this month. Luckily there's no shortage of new content to enjoy on the streamer in the meantime. 

"Cobra Kai" season 6 debuts with the first installation of the three-part final season, which will see Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (William Zabka) helping their loyal students get ready to take on some of their most challenging foes yet. 

"Too Hot to Handle" also returns with its sixth season, which brings another group of ridiculously attractive people together to hang out on a gorgeous island while potentially finding love. Robot Lana gets a new sidekick this time around though, so it might be just different enough to enjoy. 

If neither of those shows catches your eye, don't fret. More juicy streamable content is on the way. In fact, there's a complete day-by-day rundown of what's new on Netflix below to sate your appetite. For more recommendations, see our 9 top new shows to watch this week across all the best streaming services.
