If you’re wondering what to watch this week, I’ve already started building my watchlist, and let me tell you, July is wasting absolutely no time.

From the return of “Tyler Perry’s Ruthless” and “Silo” to the next chapter of “Enola Holmes,” plus a brand-new “Mummy” movie that looks creepy in all the right ways, there’s something for just about every mood.

Here are the TV shows and movies I’m most excited to watch this week.


What to Watch on Netflix This Week

What to watch this week: Official key art for the Netflix documentary "Chris & Martina: The Final Set."

“Chris & Martina: The Final Set”

Netflix | June 29

I love a documentary that reminds you greatness isn’t just about winning.

This one explores the remarkable careers of tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, from fierce rivals on the court to lifelong friends supporting each other through cancer treatment. Their story feels just as inspiring off the court as it does on it.


What to watch this week: Official key art for the new season of "Worst Neighbor Ever" on Netflix.

“Worst Neighbor Ever”

Netflix | July 1

Every season of this series manages to make me appreciate my neighbors just a little bit more.

The new episodes feature disturbing firsthand accounts, body camera footage, and unbelievable stories that prove sometimes the biggest danger isn’t across town. It’s living right next door.

“Enola Holmes 3”

Netflix | July 1

I’ve enjoyed every “Enola Holmes” movie so far, so this one was an easy addition to my watchlist.

This time Enola heads to Malta, where a new mystery pulls her into what sounds like her most dangerous case yet. I’m expecting another fun mix of action, humor, and clever detective work.

“Survival of the Thickest” Season 3

Netflix | July 2

Michelle Buteau always brings so much heart to Mavis Beaumont.

One of my favorite things about this series is that it celebrates confidence, friendship, and finding yourself without pretending life is always easy. I’m looking forward to spending more time with these characters.


What to Watch on Paramount+ This Week

Key art for “Tyler Perry’s Ruthless” Season 6 featuring Melissa L. Williams for the Paramount+ drama series returning in 2026.

“Tyler Perry’s Ruthless” Season 6

Paramount+ | June 30

Y’all already know this one isn’t optional for me.

After everything Ruth has survived inside the Rakudushis compound, Season 6 looks like the moment she finally starts changing the game instead of simply reacting to it. With new alliances forming, trust disappearing, and the FBI closing in, every trailer has hinted that this season is headed toward absolute chaos.

If you’ve been watching from the beginning like I have, I don’t think this is the season you’ll want to fall behind on.

Need to catch up? Sign up for Paramount+ and binge every season of “Tyler Perry’s Ruthless” before the new episodes drop. 


What to Watch on HBO Max This Week

What to watch this week: Official key art for "Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story" on HBO Max.

“Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story”

HBO Max | June 30

Robin Byrd became a late-night television trailblazer by talking openly about subjects most people wouldn’t touch.

I’m curious to see how this documentary tells her story because her influence reaches much farther than many people realize.


Official key art for "Lee Cronin's The Mummy," the horror film streaming on HBO Max.

“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy”

HBO Max | July 3

If you saw “Evil Dead Rise,” then you already know Lee Cronin isn’t interested in playing it safe.

His take on “The Mummy” looks darker, more emotional, and genuinely unsettling. The idea of a missing child returning home years later only to become every parent’s nightmare is enough to have my attention before the horror even starts.


What to Watch on Prime Video This Week

Official key art for "Elle," the "Legally Blonde" prequel series streaming on Prime Video.

“Elle”

Prime Video | July 1

I’ve always wondered what Elle Woods was like before Harvard Law.

This prequel takes us back to her high school years to show the moments that shaped the confident, optimistic, and determined woman we all met in “Legally Blonde.” If they capture even half of Elle’s charm, this could be a really fun watch.


What to Watch on Disney+ This Week

Official key art for Season 2 of Marvel Animation's "X-Men '97" on Disney+. What to watch this week.

“X-Men ’97” Season 2

Disney+ | July 1

Season 1 reminded everyone exactly why the X-Men have remained one of Marvel’s greatest teams.

Now they’re scattered across different points in time while new threats continue to emerge back home. I’m ready to see where this story goes next.


What to Watch on Apple TV+ This Week

Official key art for Season 3 of "Silo," starring Rebecca Ferguson, streaming on Apple TV. What to watch this week.

“Silo” Season 3

Apple TV | July 3

I won’t even hold you…

This might be my most anticipated premiere of the week.

Every season answers a few questions while creating about twenty more, and somehow I keep coming back for more. Between Juliette’s return and the origin story that takes us back to the “Before Times,” I have a feeling this season is going to have us talking every week.

Ready to catch up before Season 3? Stream every episode of “Silo” on Apple TV+ and see why it’s become one of the platform’s best sci-fi series. 


What Are You Watching This Week?

That’s everything sitting at the top of my watchlist this week, and I have a feeling my streaming queue is about to stay full.

Now I want to hear from you.

Which of these premieres are you planning to watch first?

And if there’s something I left off the list, drop it in the comments because I’m always looking for my next obsession.
