OTT favourite, Mirzapur is set to return with a brand new season on July 5, but it’s not the only show that has got us excited. From Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F to Cobra Kai season 6 and more, here are some of the highly-anticipated offerings in July that we can’t wait to binge-watch. 

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

Gen Z may not know how good the Beverly Hills Cop series is or that such a series exists. But they are about to get a taste of it this month. In the fourth installment of the franchise, the first in over 20 years, Eddie Murphy reprises his role, returning to action after his daughter's life is threatened. What follows is a series of unexpected events, where he teams up with her ex-boyfriend and some long-lost friends, only to find themselves entangled in a major conspiracy.

Mirzapur Season 3

One of India's most popular crime thriller web series, Mirzapur is back with all its crime, family drama, and blood. The show features a star-studded cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Rasika Dugal, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, and Vijay Varma. According to Amazon Prime, “The reign of the Tripathis in Purvanchal is over. Guddu (Ali Fazal) and Golu (Shweta Tripathi Sharma) are pitted against a new contender as they stake their claim to the throne.” In Mirzapur, revenge runs deeper than blood.
