The 10 Most Anticipated TV Shows to Stream in July

The weather is getting hot, and you know what that means: time to never, ever leave your air conditioned home as you binge so much television. Thankfully, we’ve got a slew of new and returning TV shows (and movies) for you to consume over the course of July 2026. In fact, why not consider this month one long Saturday morning, as there are so many cartoons to watch in July, ranging from highly anticipated returns like X-Men ’97 Season 2 to a brand-new riff on the classic Ghost in the Shell.

Don’t worry if you’re not a big animation fan, because there’s lots of live-action entertainment to enjoy, from the sci-fi apocalypse of Silo on Apple TV, to returning seasons for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and The Walking Dead: Dead City. Hey, there’s even the weirdest Big Bang Theory spin-off you can imagine! Basically, there’s something for everyone this month regardless of your watching habits. So let’s get into it with a breakdown of the nine shows and one movie you need to watch in July 2026.

First up is Enola Holmes 3 (July 1). Millie Bobby Brown returns as the title character, younger sister of Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill). Everything seems to be going well as Enola prepares for her wedding to Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge), when shockingly, Sherlock goes missing! The wedding gets put on hold and Enola is on the case. Also starring Himesh Patel as Dr. Watson and Helena Bonham Carter, the film promises a twisty, fourth-wall breaking delight.

X-Men '97 Season 2 (July 1) returns on Disney+ after two years. The stakes are high with Apocalypse threatening mutants across three timelines. Behind-the-scenes shake-ups, including the firing of showrunner Beau DeMayo, add pressure. Early reviews are glowing, with a 9/10 rating from IGN. The season adapts iconic comic storylines like The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix and Grant Morrison's New X-Men.

Silo Season 3 (July 3) on Apple TV+ continues the post-apocalyptic epic. Season 2 ended with Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) and Bernard (Tim Robbins) trapped in a chamber. The new season jumps between timelines, exploring the past with Congressman Daniel (Ashley Zukerman) and journalist Helen (Jessica Henwick). The 10-episode season was filmed back-to-back with the fourth and final season.

Other highlights include Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3, The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2, and a new Ghost in the Shell adaptation. There's also a bizarre Big Bang Theory spin-off. July 2026 is packed with must-watch content for every viewer.
