July is already off to a steamy start with heat waves outside and hot movies and TV shows debuting throughout the month.
If you’re looking for something to do while staying within reach of an air conditioner, why not stream a new show or movie?
Luckily, this month’s selection is both eclectic and entertaining.
Check out Watch With Us’ picks for new movies and shows coming to streaming this July, featuring actors like Uma Thurman and Adam Sandler on platforms like Netflix and Hulu.
‘The Old Guard 2’ (Now Streaming)
The eagerly anticipated sequel to the 2020 Charlize Theron action movie was just released on Netflix, and it’s just as explosive as its predecessor. Theron plays Andy, an immortal warrior who uses her unexplained powers to protect the world alongside a team of equally powerful mercenaries.
Uma Thurman and Henry Golding join the cast for the sequel, which sees Andy grappling with her waning power while former Old Guard member Quỳnh (Vân Veronica Ngô) seeks revenge on her former comrades. If you’re a fan of magic, action and found families, this one should definitely be on your watchlist.

‘All the Sharks’ (July 4)
Netflix’s answer to Discovery’s famous Shark Week programming block adds a competitive twist. In All the Sharks, four teams of aquatic experts travel the world to capture images of as many species of shark as possible. The winning team scores a $50,000 prize. With over 500 known species of shark out in the briny blue, the possibilities are endless. If you’re a fan of fins, don’t miss this reality competition series with some serious bite.
(If you’re planning on going to the beach over 4th of July weekend, you probably shouldn’t watch this one until after you get home!)
Watch All the Sharks on Netflix on July 4.
‘Too Much’ (July 10)
Lena Dunham (Girls) has created a new romantic comedy series starring Hacks’ Megan Stalter, and we truly can’t wait to see it. In this 10-episode series, Stalter plays Jessica, a New Yorker whose disastrous breakup leads her to upend her whole life and move to London.
Jessica has a lot of romantic ideas about what a London life should be — mostly informed by romantic comedies like Notting Hill — but the messy new life she finds doesn’t quite live up to her expectations. Neither does Felix (Will Sharpe of The White Lotus), an aloof and cynical musician with whom Jessica forms an unexpected connection. Can love — and British rom-com tropes — win the day?

‘Washington Black’ (July 23)
This Is Us’ Sterling K. Brown stars alongside Ernest Kingsley Jr. in Washington Black, a new historical adventure series based on Esi Edugyan’s bestselling novel of the same name. Spanning two timelines, the story follows Washington “Wash” Black (Kingsley), a young Black man with a gift for science and aeronautics, on a globetrotting adventure in the early 19th century after he escapes from slavery. The novel examined themes of freedom, friendship and identity — and based on the thrilling trailer, the show will be just as powerful.
The rest of the ensemble cast includes Tom Ellis (Lucifer) and Rupert Graves (The War of the Worlds). Washington Black looks likely to be an emotional roller coaster, so bring your tissues.
Watch Washington Black on Hulu on July 23.

‘Happy Gilmore 2’ (July 25)
Start practicing your golf swing, because Happy Gilmore is back! Adam Sandler’s hilarious comedy about an unrefined hockey player who rocks the uptight world of golf is getting a sequel, Happy Gilmore 2. Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller are all reprising their roles as Happy, Virginia, Shooter and Hal L., respectively.
Bad Bunny joins the cast as Happy’s new caddy, along with a slew of athletes and comedians who will make cameos — Travis Kelce, Eric André and Oliver Hudson are just a few of the confirmed appearances. Sequels can be rough, but we’re hoping Happy Gilmore 2 will deliver the laughs and nostalgia of its predecessor.
Watch Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix on July 25.
