With summer upon her, Netflix is still finding reasons for us to stay indoors. That includes a promising horror line-up – from trilogy Fear Street and a Resident Evil animated series to Midsommar and a special episode of Kingdom – and family offerings such as Dora and the Lost City of Gold and the finale of Trollhunters. Plus there’s the return of Netflix series Never Have I Ever, Atypical and Sky Rojo, and the arrival of an all-new Masters of the Universe.
