3 Netflix original shows returning with new seasons this week

No other streaming service produces as much original content as Netflix . In fact, it’s rare that a single week passes without one of Netflix’s original shows returning for a new season, but it can be difficult to keep track of them all. We write about the new releases on Netflix every week , but we also want to make sure you don’t miss any returning series.

This week, the final season of the Spanish-language teen drama Elite arrives, bringing an end to one of the longest-running foreign language shows on Netflix. We’ll also get a new season of the spy drama Kleo and the penultimate season of The Dragon Prince .

Netflix shows returning this week

Kleo: Season 2 (July 25)

As my coworker Andy Meek noted last week, this has been a great year for fans of spy dramas. The latest is the new season of Kleo , which follows East German spy Kleo Straub as she tries to figure out how she ended up in jail after killing a man in a nightclub. Stephen King went as far as to call it “a breath of fresh air,” if you need more convincing.

Netflix’s inspirational Simone Biles docuseries debuted with a well-deserved 100% critics’ score

The Dragon Prince: Season 6 (July 26)

A decade after serving as head writer on all three seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender , Aaron Ehasz teamed up with Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception co-director Justin Richmond to create a new animated series for Netflix called The Dragon Prince . The fantasy TV series is set in Xadia, where dragons, elves, and humans once peacefully coexisted before humans started practicing dark magic. The penultimate season premieres this week.

Elite: Season 8 (July 26)

Finally, Spanish teen drama Elite is coming to an end this week with its eighth and final season. The series follows three working-class students who win scholarships to Las Encinas, a fictional private school in Madrid, Spain. The show explores a number of contentious subjects, including classism, drug use, and crime. If you’ve been looking for lengthy, trashy shows to binge watch, you could do a lot worse than all eight seasons of Elite on Netflix.

Netflix is getting more than a dozen new shows and movies next week – only one is a must-watch
