July 2026 is the first genuinely summer-scale streaming month of the year. The theatrical calendar drops its biggest event (Fantastic Four: First Steps, July 25) and the streaming calendar has been deliberately positioned around it. Here is everything confirmed for July across every major platform.
The Event That Defines July: Bleach TYBW Part 4
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4 is the single most anticipated anime streaming event of 2026. The final arc of the TYBW adaptation arrives in July with an episode count and animation quality that the fanbase has been waiting for since Part 3's conclusion. Crunchyroll and Hulu have both confirmed the simulcast date. For anyone who hasn't caught up — Parts 1-3 are available in full and the combined run is among the best anime adaptation work of the decade.
Netflix July 2026: Confirmed Originals
Netflix July has four confirmed originals across film, series, K-drama, and anime. The lead film is a Spanish action thriller from the director who made one of the platform's 2025 breakouts. The K-drama original premieres July 12 — confirmed Netflix Korea production with a cast that has been generating pre-release discourse since the announcement. Two anime originals round out Netflix's July slate. Platform is also receiving three theatrical film completions from May's box office in the first week of July.
Prime Video, Disney+, Max, and Apple TV+ July
Prime Video July is led by a US political thriller and two Indian-language originals confirmed for mid-month drops — one Hindi, one Telugu. Disney+ July is building toward Fantastic Four's theatrical run and the platform's MCU-adjacent content is being positioned around the film's July 25 release. Max's July is its strongest theatrical completion month of the summer — three wide-release films from the spring calendar arrive simultaneously on July 1. Apple TV+ July includes the second season of one of the platform's most acclaimed originals and a new limited series that has the critical pre-release attention the format requires.
