Every week, Netflix has a new release that will appeal to everyone. These releases include quirky movies, foreign TV shows, reality series and many more. Next week, however, there’s no question what the (literally) biggest new Netflix title will be. This honor goes to The Gray ManRusso Brothers directed spy thriller “The Killing”, with a star-studded ensemble and a $200 Million price tag.
Einige of them you can actually look at The movie — based on author Mark Greaney’s The Gray Man spy novel franchise — this weekend. It’s playing in select theaters now, ahead of its debut on Netflix next Friday. We’ve got all the details on it below. Along with some of the other big new Netflix releases that’ll have everyone talking over the coming week.
The Gray ManNetflix Release Date
Greaney published the 11th book in his series earlier this year. Gray ManSeries (titled Sierra Six). Netflix’s movie, however, draws from the beginning of the series, with the streamer The plot can be described as follows:
“The plot of the film unfolds as the CIA’s most skilled mercenary (Ryan Gosling) — whose true identity is known to none — accidentally uncovers dark agency secrets, and a psychopathic former colleague puts a bounty on his head, setting off a global manhunt by international assassins.”
Gosling isn’t the only one here. The Gray Man’sPsychotic nemesis, played in a ‘stached Chris Evans; plus Ana de Armas, Bridgerton’sJessica Henwick and Rege-Jean Page I’ve read several of Greaney’s Gray ManNovels, and the best word to describe his work is “escapist”. If you love this genre, as I do, there’s also room for different preferences. There’s everything from the cerebral, gentleman spy world of John le Carre to the action-adventure that Greaney packs each of his novels with.
If pure escapism is what you’re looking for, there’s no reason you shouldn’t enjoy these novels. Or the movie — speaking of which, it will be available to stream on Netflix Starting July 22.
“I couldn’t be more amazed that The Gray Man is actually coming to the screen,”Greaney spoke to me earlier in the week. “It’s been a long journey from researching and writing the book in 2007 to seeing the final cut of the film in 2022, but I know how lucky I am and really hope viewers will love it!”
Virgin River+ More Netflix Releases
Meanwhile, continuing on with some of the other high-profile Netflix releases that are likely to dominate subscribers’ viewing time next week:
Virgin RiverNetflix continues its remarkable long-running run. We agree. “surprisingly,”This show’s Season 4 is on its way On July 20,. There will be at most one more season. You don’t see Netflix shows reaching the fourth or fifth season very often.
Here’s the summary of Netflix’s story for those unfamiliar. “Mel Monroe, a nurse practitioner (Alexandra Breckenridge), is looking for a new start. She moves from Los Angeles to a remote town in northern California and finds herself in culture shock.

Another Netflix release you should check out
Lastly, a word about another high-profile Netflix movie release date that’s just hit the streamer today (On July 15,).
PersuasionThis is a feature-length adaptation of Jane Austen’s timeless classic. Only this one … is getting utterly ripped to shreds by critics. Austen stans seem to be losing their minds over this one. Though, based on where the movie’s Rotten TomatoesScores are currently at their highest, and I believe this is the case. may be another of those instances where there’s a huge divergence between critics and audiences. “Might”Being the operative word.
Netflix’s PersuasionCurrent Rotten Tomatoes scores are dismal at 37 percent for critics, and a respectable 63 per cent for audience. Here’s something to keep in mind, though. Part of the critics’ problem is with the fourth-wall-breaking that dominates this film, a la DickinsonApple TV+ did it much better. For me, it’s not a big deal — I can take it or love it. And speaking of Apple TV+, Johnson also co-starred in a recent film released via the iPhone maker’s streaming service: Cha Cha Real Smooth.
That movie featured her as a transcendent, ethereal presence. Which is to say, when you couple that performance with her other recent work, like her turn in Netflix’s The Lost Daughter? Her presence alone will elevate any movie, making it worth at most checking out.
