3 New Movies and Shows Coming July 15th: Dragons, Killer Doll, and Netflix Detective

A packed week for genre film enthusiasts.

This week brings three major premieres. Here's why they're worth your attention.

"M3GAN 2.0"

Genre: sci-fi horror

Starring: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 58%

AI goes rogue — again. This M3GAN sequel follows roboticist Gemma as she battles for control over artificial intelligence after the bloody events from two years ago.

But the military steals her tech and transforms it into a surveillance android called AM3LIA, which naturally becomes a threat to humanity. Gemma resurrects killer doll M3GAN, hoping only she can stop the new menace.

The film scores lower than the original (the first one got 93% on RT), but fans who loved the first will be back for another dose of horror and irony.

"How to Train Your Dragon"

Genre: fantasy

Starring: Mason Thames, Nico Parker, Gerard Butler, Nick Frost

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 77%

This is a live-action remake of the beloved animated tale about Viking Hiccup and his dragon Toothless. Now with real actors and even more spectacular effects. The plot stays the same: a young hero breaks his tribe's taboo and finds common ground with creatures they've been taught to fear for centuries.

Summer's most heartwarming release — a universal story about acceptance and friendship that works in any format. Even if you know every scene by heart, everything feels fresh thanks to the visuals and live performances.

"Untamed" (miniseries)

Genre: mystery

Starring: Eric Bana, Sam Neill

Rotten Tomatoes Score: not yet available

Actor Eric Bana in a green shirt walks with a female police officer across yellow grass with trees in the background — Scene from "Untamed"

Netflix drops a new miniseries starring Eric Bana. Set in Yosemite National Park, where a woman's body is found after falling from a cliff. A park ranger suspects it's not just an accident.

Cozy woodland horror transforms into gripping detective work with True Detective vibes and slow-burn, compelling investigation. Nature, paranoia, and secrets — the perfect cocktail for anyone craving serious suspense. Earlier, we at zoomboola.com covered three new series that dropped July 9th — bold humor, epic sci-fi, and Dexter's return.
