It’s time to bid farewell to July 2026 — and, if you won’t be heading out to catch Spider-Man: Brand New Day this weekend, you’re going to need something to watch at home instead.
Thankfully, the world’s best streaming services have plenty of great-looking new movies and shows for you to check out before Monday arrives once more. Don’t delay, then — scroll on to see what you’ll be adding to your watchlist ahead of the new working week. — Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (Hulu/Disney+)
Gird your loins, people: The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally available to stream on Hulu and Disney+. As an 11-year old girl who grew up wanting to be Andy Sachs, I can safely say that nothing has changed 20 years later.

This time around, Andy is brought back into the Runway Magazine fold when Miranda comes under fire for printing false information in an article. As the new Features Editor, it’s Andy’s job to navigate a PR crisis fit for the 2020s, which includes getting a little help from Emily.
With all of the nostalgia and dreamy fashion montages you could hope for, and an new original song by Doechii and Lady Gaga that slaps, I’ll be watching this over and again. — Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (Peacock)
Yahoo! Almost fourh months after it initially landed in theaters, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has finally made its official streaming debut on Peacock.
Mario’s latest animated adventure is way more polarizing than its predecessor, yet it still managed to pull in $1 billion at the worldwide box office. For that reason alone, it’s probably worth giving it a whirl — but, seeing as you’ll need something to entertain the kids for 90 minutes or so, it’s definitely worth putting on.
But, I digress. For those who might not know: this time around, Mario and his allies traverse the cosmos as they attempt to stop Bowser and Bowser Jr from enacting a new masterplan that would see them kidnap Princess Rosalina and drain her cosmic powers to build a super weapon. Expect plenty of Nintendo Easter eggs and references in this multiverse-esque sequel that certainly acts as a jumping off point for a shared Nintendo cinematic universe. — TP
The Drama (HBO Max)
The first of three films that Zendaya and Robert Pattinson appear in this year, A24’s dark rom-com drama called, well, The Drama has made its debut on HBO Max.
Starring the aforementioned A-listers, it tells the tale of soon-to-be-newlyweds Emma and Charlie, whose forthcoming wedding is derailed when a particularly dark secret comes to light. The twist in question? Honestly, it’s best if you go into the movie knowing as little as humanly possible, because it’s such a blind-siding narrative device that it’s too good to spoil here. Get it watched ASAP, because I imagine it’s all you and your work colleagues will be talking about come Monday. — TP
The Bombing of Pan Am 103 (Netflix)
There are some national tragedies that are so horrifically terrible, history is forever changed. In Scotland and the US, this was the Bombing of Pan Am 103, which is now a Netflix docuseries of the same name.
In a nutshell: on 21 December 1988, flight Pan Am 103 was en route from Heathrow to JFK when a bomb exploded in its hold over Lockerbie, killing all 270 people, including 43 British citizens and 190 Americans, on board, and spawning an international investigation involving local law enforcement and the FBI.
The community of Lockerbie has definitely never been the same since, with the attack leading to the Aviation Security Improvement Act of 1990. Be prepared for a difficult yet emotionally poignant watch. — JV
Batman: Caped Crusader season 2 (Prime Video)
Batman is back — well, in Amazon‘s animated TV show, that is. That’s right, season 2 of Batman: Caped Crusader has made its Prime Video debut, so fans of the Dark Knight have some new content to consume while the wait for The Batman Part II goes on.
This season, the eponymous vigilante and friends are forced to navigate an increasingly combustible turf war and the arrival of new iterations of the Caped Crusader’s packed rogues gallery. Eager to see the Big Bad Bat go up against Joker, Scarecrow, Riddler, and more for the umpteenth time? Caped Crusader season 2 should be your first streaming port of call this weekend. — TP
Furious (Hulu/Disney+)
Female police chasing female serial killers? It’s almost as if the glory days of Killing Eve are back. This time, the dynamic comes courtesy of Furious, which has already been described by critics as one of the best shows of 2026, which is seriously high praise.
I’ve got a hunch that this is mostly down to its leads in Shameless‘ Emmy Rossum, and Lola Petticrew, who was absolutely astonishing in Trespasses and Say Nothing. What’s even better is that it’s set in the 1980s and allegedly has a vert satisfying payoff. Ticks all of the great crime drama boxes, if you ask me. — JV
Lioness season 3 (Paramount+)
We’ve been without a new Taylor Sheridan show for the first time in 2026 this month, but never fear… Lioness season 3 is here. And, by here, I mean on Paramount+.
Joe continues to walk the line between duty and home as “unseen forces” circle her world. Frankly, I think this means that we should do a fan sweepstake on just how many minutes of each episode she’s going to be shouting for. My guess is 42 out of 48 minutes.
What’s even more impressive is how Lioness season 3 has managed to retain Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman in their supporting roles. That’s the brilliance of a Taylor Sheridan series, I guess. — JV
