The Top 21 New Movies Streaming Now

Looking for new movies to watch at home? We got you. As summer hits the midpoint, the major streamers are adding a slew of new movies to their libraries, with July bringing two of the biggest movies of 2026 to their streaming homes. We’ve gone through and made a curated list of the best new movies added to Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Paramount+ and more this month. That includes brand new films, like Netflix’s “Enola Holmes 3,” as well as library titles that are well worth your while like feel-good classic “A League of Their Own.” So put that indecision to rest and check out our list of the top new movies streaming now below. “Enola Holmes” sequels will continue until morale improves. The Netflix movie franchise, which is based on Nancy Springer’s “The Enola Holmes Mysteries” and began with the 2020 film, charts a new course with “Enola Holmes 3.” Philip Barantini, who helmed acclaimed British drama “Boiling Point” and all of the Emmy-winning “Adolescence,” takes over directorial duties this time around, replacing Harry Bradbeer, who had handled the previous two installments, with Millie Bobby Brown returning for the title role. “As Enola heads to the altar to wed Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge), she learns the distressing news that Sherlock (Henry Cavill) has been kidnapped. The gumshoe is immediately on the case, all while grappling with her complicated feelings around marriage,” reads the official description of the third film. Himesh Patel (as Watson), Helena Bonham Carter (as Enola’s mother) and Sharon Duncan-Brewster (revealed to be Moriarty at the end of the second film) also return, along with screenwriter Jack Thorne (who worked with Barantini on “Adolescence”). Sounds like the kind of big, boisterous cinematic event best enjoyed over the hot July Fourth weekend, hotdog and soda in hand. If you’re looking for a good hang, you can’t get much better than “Everybody Wants Some!!!” Filmmaker Richard Linklater’s spiritual sequel to “Dazed and Confused” follows Texas college baseball players in 1980 over the course of a couple of days, really just letting you hang out with this ragtag group of young men. The cast is spectacular: Glen Powell, Zoey Deutch, Wyatt Russell and more anchor this breezy, supreme hangout movie. Speaking of baseball, one of the best baseball movies ever made is on Netflix this month: “A League of Their Own.” The film is a fictional account of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which was started during World War II. Geena Davis anchors the cast as the leader of the team, while Tom Hanks plays the alcoholic tasked with managing the Rockford Peaches. Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell, Lori Petty and Bill Pullman co-star in this stone-cold classic. Robert Eggers is one of the few directors who had a perfectly distinct voice and style right out of the gate. The filmmaker behind “Nosferatu” and the upcoming “Werwulf” first burst onto the scene with the Sundance indie “The Witch,” an unnerving, terrifying film set in 1630s New England about a Puritan family who is besieged by witchcraft. The 2015 movie is Anya Taylor-Joy’s breakout role, and Eggers’ handle on the tone and aesthetics is so assured it’ll scare your pants off. Ben Stiller’s career as a director has been underrated. His 1994 debut “Reality Bites” is a quintessential Gen X dramedy, 1996’s “The Cable Guy” is wonderfully dark and features one of Jim Carrey’s best performances, and then there’s “Tropic Thunder,” his 2008 comedy epic about actors shooting a war film in the jungle who get thrust into real-life danger. The Hollywood commentary is sharp, the bits are plentiful and this features several noteworthy performances, from Tom Cruise’s riff on a studio head to Robert Downey Jr.’s Oscar-nominated turn as an extreme method actor. It seemed – for a while at least – like a sequel to 2019’s sleeper hit “Ready or Not” would never come. After all, was a follow-up to a movie about a Satanic game of hide-and-seek really a priority for Disney, which assumed control of the 21st Century Fox assets the same year that “Ready or Not” was released theatrically? As it turns out, yes. Originally, the directing team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (also known as Radio Silence) were developing an original movie where Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton would play sisters, but when Disney asked about a “Ready or Not” sequel, they adapted their original concept to fit into the confines of the franchise. Weaving, having survived untold horrors in the first film, actually created a power vacuum in a cult of wealthy Satanists; now several families are competing to kill off the sisters and assume control of operations. Is it silly? Sure. Sometimes it plays like a version of “Smokin’ Aces” but with more exploding bodies. But there’s plenty of pleasures to be found in “Ready or Not 2” too – David Cronenberg has a cameo as a globalist with untold power, Sarah Michelle Gellar is a hoot as Cronenberg’s daughter, Elijah Wood plays a Renfield-style lackey, and Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett have upped their game when it comes to staging and action set pieces. All around, this is a ton of fun, especially if you watch with some beers and a couple of pizzas on a warm summer night. Lee Cronin, for those who are unaware, made 2023’s “Evil Dead Rise,” which was a clever new chapter in the Sam Raimi-originated franchise. It was scary and it had lots and lots of very gross goo. The same can be said about “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” a title that is meant to distinguish itself from other Universal horror movies with the same title but ends up feeling more like the Blumhouse-produced Universal horror movie remakes (chiefly “The Wolf Man” and “The Invisible Man,” both from Leigh Whannell). Anyway, the titular mummy is a young girl who returns home years after she was reported missing (and presumed dead). Jack Reynor and Laia Costa are the young girl’s parents who are just thankful to have her home even though something is clearly very wrong, and the excellent Egyptian actress May Calamawy (who you might remember from Marvel Studios’ “Moon Knight” show) plays a detective looking into the case. This “Mummy” doesn’t totally stick the landing, occasionally veering into familial melodrama and possession movie territory, but there are definitely some unforgettably gross gags (including a scorpion coming out of a woman’s neck) and a funeral sequence that, until the wheels really come off, wouldn’t be out of place in a Pedro Almodovar film. Still, it’s hard not to get wrapped up in “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy.” Get it? Finally, “Project Hail Mary” comes home. The blockbuster film, adapted from Andy Weir’s bestselling novel and starring Ryan Gosling as a mild-mannered science teacher recruited for a mission to save the cosmos, first premiered on MGM+ last month. Because we don’t know anyone who has an MGM+ account, we found this pretty weird. It was some kind of weird loophole (“Project Hail Mary” was produced my Amazon MGM Studios), never properly defined by the studio, but now is finally coming to a streaming service everyone has access to – Prime Video. If you never saw “Project Hail Mary” or, if you’re like us, and you’re dying to watch it again, now is your chance. Written by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Drew Goddard and directed, with aplomb, by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, “Project Hail Mary” is the kind of expansive, emotional big studio movie that you imagine Hollywood can’t pull off anymore. When Gosling’s science-teacher-turned-astronaut awakes on his mission, surrounded by dead crew members and no memory of why he’s there, he’s got to put the pieces back together in order to save humanity. But he’s got a friend! Rocky, a spider-like rock creature who has been sent on a similar mission (and is similarly alone). Together, they form a bond so powerful that it could save the galaxy. Now that’s how you do it. Moving, thrilling and gorgeously produced, “Project Hail Mary” is one of the best movies of the year. And now you can watch it in your pajamas over a bowl of Frosted Flakes. Whew.
