With a long weekend now upon us, folks are no doubt going to be seeking out fresh content to dig into and though today – and the next few days – are actually a bit light on new movies and TV shows when it comes to the major streaming services, there’s still some stuff worth checking out.
Of course, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and HBO Max, in particular, just delivered massive drops to their subscribers on the first of the month, with each platform bringing a ton – and we do mean a ton – of new arrivals. So, it’s understandable that July 3rd, 4th and 5th may be a bit on the light side.
But again, there’s enough here that you should find something to satisfy you. And if you don’t, well, like we just said, July 1st brought with it more than enough to keep you busy.
Without further ado, though, here’s what you’ll find headed to all the major streaming services over the course of this weekend:

And that’s your lot. As far as highlights go, we’d strongly urge horror fans to hit the lights and flip on JU-ON: Origins on Netflix. It’s the latest instalment in the seemingly never-ending Grudge franchise and looks to be a creepy and spooky watch.
Meanwhile, Disney Plus has the much anticipated Hamilton, while HBO Max is bringing us Midway, a very underrated war movie from director Roland Emmerich that flew sort of under the radar back when it released in theaters but is a truly thrilling watch.
Aside from all that, we’d also recommend season 2 of Hana on Prime, with the sophomore run looking to build on what was a very impressive first season.
