New on Prime Video in July 2025 — all the new movies and shows to stream this month
A new month is here, and with it comes a fresh wave of titles hitting Prime Video. Amazon has officially unveiled its full July 2025 streaming lineup, and there's plenty to get excited about. Below, we've laid out the complete list of everything arriving on the streaming service this month. We've also highlighted a few standout picks you won't want to miss, including the third and final season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' a new action-comedy featuring Idris Elba and John Cena, and 'Ballard,' the new 'Bosch' spinoff. Not seeing anything that grabs you? No problem — check out our curated guides to the best movies and shows currently on Prime Video for even more streaming recommendations. Otherwise, scroll down to see everything new coming to Prime Video this July. 'Heads of State' is a new action-comedy featuring an unlikely duo: U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) and U.K. Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba). After their jet is shot down, the two sworn rivals must band together alongside MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) to survive a deadly global conspiracy aimed at shaking the foundation of their nations. If you're in the mood for fast-paced global stakes, charismatic star power, and light-hearted action, 'Heads of State' looks to be July's must-watch on Prime Video. Whether Cena and Elba can set their rivalry aside and save the world … well, that's the fun of finding out. Stream "Heads of State" on Prime Video from July 2 Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Ballard' is set in the 'Bosch' universe and follows Detective Renée Ballard (Maggie Q). After being introduced in the 'Bosch: Legacy' finale, Ballard now leads an underfunded, all-volunteer LAPD cold case unit. Determined and fiercely empathetic, she juggles complex investigations like the high-profile 'Flower Girl' serial killer case while navigating bureaucratic roadblocks and inner-department corruption. Backed by familiar faces including Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), Ballard is tasked with reopening unsolved crimes, but the emotional toll and political weight of the job threaten to overwhelm her. Created by 'Bosch' author Michael Connelly, the show leans into grounded storytelling, with a focus on justice, trauma, and the messiness of police work. With all ten episodes premiering at once, 'Ballard' offers fans of the franchise (and detective dramas in general) a darker, more character-driven story. Stream "Ballard" on Prime Video from July 9 Premiering July 16 with a two-episode kick-off and rolling out weekly through September 17, the third and final season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' adapts Jenny Han's concluding novel. Set two years after Belly's (Lola Tung) decision to be with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), the story follows her summer after junior year of college. Belly and Jeremiah announce their engagement, only for Conrad (Christopher Briney) to reappear, reopening old wounds and thrusting Belly into a powerful emotional crossroads. With an expanded 11-episode run (the longest yet) the series dives deeper into the central love triangle, Belly's growth into adulthood, and the dynamics between her friends and family. So expect moments of heartbreak, healing, and surprising adventures (including potential new settings like Paris).

From 'My Mom Jayne' to 'The Woman in the Yard,' 10 movies to stream right now
In between making Fourth of July plans, be sure to watch a deep dive on Jayne Mansfield and get creeped out by a woman in a yard. Several new streaming films have arrived on your various streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon's Prime Video, Disney+ and more. There are theatrical releases finally coming home, including a Looney Tunes animated comedy and a sci-fi horror flick set in deep space, plus original fare like the debut from Steven Spielberg's filmmaking daughter. Here are 10 new and notable movies you can stream right now: 'Ash' A trippy paranoia space thriller that turns into a gonzo gore-fest. Eiza González plays an astronaut who wakes up on an alien planet, not knowing who she is but seeing a bunch of dead crew members around, and she needs to figure out if her rescuer (Aaron Paul) is on the level or not. Where to watch: Shudder 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' Who better to stave off an alien invasion than ... wait, what? Daffy Duck and Porky Pig?! This Looney Tunes animated comedy features the iconic 'toon twosome as roommates and coworkers at a chewing gum factory who uncover a mind-control plot when the launch of a new flavor turns people into zombies. Where to watch: Max 'KPop Demon Hunters' Catchy music, anime style and some horror combine in this kid-friendly action comedy. When the members of Korean pop trio Huntrix aren't busy being megastars, they protect their fans from supernatural dangers. But dark secrets and hormones become issues, thanks to their latest enemy: demons disguised as a hunky boy band. Where to watch: Netflix 'Love Me' Are you ready for a romantic sort-of-comedy between inanimate objects? Hundreds of years after mankind is wiped out, a smart buoy (Kristen Stewart) turns on and strikes up a friendship with the last satellite (Steven Yeun) launched into space. This weird couple literally gets more real as time passes, trying ice cream for the first time and opening up to each other. Where to watch: Paramount+ 'A Minecraft Movie' Kids are going to love it, as will anyone with a soft spot for the glorious weirdness of "Napoleon Dynamite." The adventure centers on misfits stuck in a fantasy world that makes the most of their creativity, with an unhinged Jack Black singing about lava chicken and a hilariously macho Jason Momoa gamely taking the brunt of the gags. Where to watch: Max 'My Mom Jayne' We knew Mariska Hargitay was one of TV's top cops. What we didn't realize is she's also a gifted documentarian. Hargitay was just 3 when her movie star mom, Jayne Mansfield, died, and the film is her way to figure out who Mansfield was. The documentary disconnects the sex symbol from the real person while also revealing the biological father Hargitay kept a secret. Where to watch: Max 'Nosferatu' Do you live for Prime Day and gothic thrillers with weird romance and bloodsuckers? Director Robert Eggers' remake of the horror classic finally comes to Amazon, with Lily-Rose Depp as a woman who's the obsession of an undead mustached menace (Bill Skarsgård). Where to watch: Prime Video 'Please Don't Feed the Children' With her first feature film, director Destry Allyn Spielberg – yes, the daughter of that Spielberg – creates an intense world where a pandemic has stricken adults instead of kids and teens on the run are taken in by a stranger (Michelle Dockery). Then Spielberg shows her true mettle by pulling off a twist that proudly goes full horror. Where to watch: Tubi 'Sally' While this revealing documentary about Sally Ride obviously touches on her being the first American woman in space, it's more interested in getting into her personal life. The movie digs into her tennis roots, the misogyny she dealt with regularly at NASA, and the lesbian romance she kept private for 27 years because she knew it wouldn't be accepted. Where to watch: Disney+, Hulu 'The Woman in the Yard' Danielle Deadwyler stars as an injured widow and single mother knocked for a loop by tragedy when a mysterious woman in a black veil shows up out of nowhere to haunt her family's yard. It's psychological horror that digs deep into depression and mental health, with a harrowing ending that leaves much up to audience interpretation. Where to watch: Peacock

'Stranger Things' star Millie Bobby Brown sizzles in tiny string bikini during beach getaway
"Stranger Things" star Milllie Bobby Brown turned up the heat while enjoying a day at the beach. On Friday, the 21-year-old actress took to Instagram to post a trio of photos showing off her toned physique in a skimpy string bikini. Brown's paisley blue and green two-piece featured an embroidered triangle top with white lace ruffled trim and a gold pendant that hung from the beaded center string. The U.K. native rocked a golden tan as she posed by the shoreline with her hands on her head. Brown accessorized with a pair of designer sunglasses by the Mondottica Group along with a light purple beaded necklace and gold hoop earrings. The "Enola Holmes" star captioned her post with an emoji of a sun, an ocean wave and a seashell. Brown's slideshow was met with praise in the comments section from fans and celebrity friends, including Paris Hilton, who left a smiley face with heart eyes emoji. In May, Brown paid tribute to husband Jake Bongiovi on his 23rd birthday with a post on social media. Brown shared a carousel of photos, including a never-before-seen snap from the couple's honeymoon in Croatia in October 2024. In the image, the actress wore a plunging custom Oceanus white beaded swimsuit embroidered with Bongiovi's initials "JB" and a black heart on the right side along with a gray bow motif across the chest. Bongiovi, the son of music icon Jon Bon Jovi, sported a short-sleeved white shirt with the word "Hubby" embroidered in gold above the chest pocket. After announcing their engagement in April 2023, the couple tied the knot in May 2024 when Brown was 20 and Bongiovi was 22. Bon Jovi weighed in on his son's marriage shortly after the pair tied the knot. "They are great. They are absolutely fantastic," Bon Jovi told BBC's "The One Show." "It was a very small family wedding, and the bride looked gorgeous. And Jake is happy as can be. It's true." In October 2024, Brown and Bongiovi tied the knot again during a second wedding ceremony in Tuscany, Italy. During an interview with Vanity Fair in February, Brown addressed why she and Bongiovi decided to get married so early in their lives. "We were pretty united going into it. We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we're looking for, the kind of careers we want," she said. "It's such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him."
