July 2026 Streaming Guide: The 7 Biggest Movies and TV Shows You Can't Miss Right Now
Summer 2026 has absolutely arrived for streaming fans. From Netflix's highly anticipated Enola Holmes 3 to Apple TV+'s mind-bending Silo Season 3, July is packed with blockbusters that'll keep you glued to your couch. Here are the seven biggest titles you need to add to your watchlist — right now.
1. Enola Holmes 3 — Netflix (Available Now)
Millie Bobby Brown is back as the brilliant younger sister of Sherlock Holmes, and this time the stakes are personal. Directed by Philip Barantini (the mastermind behind the acclaimed one-take drama Adolescence), Enola Holmes 3 follows Enola to Malta, where her wedding plans with Louis Partridge's Lord Tewkesbury are violently interrupted by the kidnapping of Henry Cavill's Sherlock. The film also features Helena Bonham Carter returning in a supporting role. After a four-year wait since the sequel, this is the most dangerous case Enola has ever faced — and it's already streaming on Netflix.
2. Silo Season 3 — Apple TV+ (Premieres July 3)
Rebecca Ferguson returns as Juliette in the dystopian sci-fi thriller that's been gripping millions. Season 3 splits the timeline: Juliette battles to survive the desolate surface world while fans finally get a deep-dive origin story about how the underground silos came to be. With 10 episodes dropping weekly through September 4, this might be the most anticipated Apple TV+ release of the year.
3. X-Men '97 Season 2 — Disney+ (Available Now)
The mutant heroes are scattered across time — some stranded in ancient Egypt, others lost in a dystopian future. Season 2 is set to adapt the iconic Rise of Apocalypse storyline, raising cosmic stakes never before seen on the small screen. Season 1 was a critical masterpiece, and Season 2 looks even bigger.
4. Elle (Legally Blonde Prequel) — Prime Video (Available Now)
With Reese Witherspoon executive producing, this prequel follows a young Elle Woods navigating her teenage years long before Harvard Law. The nostalgia is real, the charm is undeniable — and Prime Video believed in it enough to greenlight Season 2 before the premiere even dropped.
5. The Hawk — Netflix (Premieres July 16)
Will Ferrell stars in this Netflix sports comedy about aging golf legend Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins chasing one final major championship. Created by Ferrell alongside Harper Steele and Chris Henchy, with Molly Shannon co-starring. If you loved Ferrell's golf comedy energy in anything before, this is your next binge.
6. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 — Paramount+ (July 23)
Captain Christopher Pike and the USS Enterprise crew return for what many critics are calling the gold standard of modern Trek. Season 4 will confront Pike's tragic pre-determined fate while facing the predatory Gorn Hegemony. If you're even casually a Star Trek fan, this is essential viewing.
7. Heartstopper Forever — Netflix (July 17)
The feature-length finale of the beloved series returns Joe Locke and Kit Connor for one final chapter, written by creator Alice Oseman and directed by Wash Westmoreland. Fans are already emotional — and it hasn't even dropped yet.
The Bottom Line
July 2026 is one of the strongest streaming months in recent memory. Whether you're into mystery, sci-fi, superhero action, comedy, or heartfelt drama, there's something massive waiting for you. Enola Holmes 3 alone is worth the Netflix subscription this month — but honestly, you're going to want all of them.
