The summer is heating up, and so are your watchlists! JustWatch just dropped the hottest streaming tea for July, and oh boy, it’s a wild mix of thrills, chills, and South Park shenanigans. Here’s the lowdown on what America binge-watched last month—plus what’s coming to wreck your productivity in August.
JustWatch’s latest data for July highlights the most in-demand titles across major streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, and Apple TV+. These rankings are based on user interaction signals such as clicks, watchlist additions, and marked views — offering a powerful snapshot of viewing intent in the US market.
July’s Top 10 Movies: Horror and Thrills
Americans clearly had a type this month: dark, twisty, and preferably apocalyptic. The cult horror Sinners held onto its #1 crown (seriously, what’s its secret?), while The Amateur and 28 Days Later brought the chaos at #2 and #3. Even Jaws made a comeback—because apparently, we still aren’t over beach trauma.
Streaming Charts: Top 10 Movies in July
1️⃣ Sinners – Still winning (and probably creeping us out).
2️⃣ The Amateur – Spies, lies, and R-rated surprises.
3️⃣ 28 Days Later – Zombies and cardio.
4️⃣ Head of State – Politics, fun and action.
5️⃣ Drop – No spoilers, but someone definitely fell.
6️⃣ The Phoenician Scheme – Fancy title, fancy drama.
7️⃣ Jaws – “We’re gonna need a bigger stream count.”
8️⃣ The Old Guard 2 – Immortals, but still struggling with WiFi.
9️⃣ 28 Weeks Later – Because 28 days wasn’t traumatic enough.
🔟 The Substance – Mysterious, dark, and probably addictive.
TV Shows: The Bear Devours the Competition (Again)
FX’s The Bear is still the king of the kitchen at #1, serving stress, screaming, and yes, chef! vibes. Meanwhile, Dept. Q snagged #2 with its Nordic noir mystery, and South Park flexed its 27-season dominance at #3. And hey, Squid Game is back in the Top 5—red jumpsuits never go out of style.

1️⃣ The Bear – Stress-eating: now a spectator sport.
2️⃣ Dept. Q – Murder, Scandinavia, and very good sweaters.
3️⃣ South Park – 27 seasons in and still offending everyone.
4️⃣ UNTAMED – Nature, but with drama.
5️⃣ Squid Game – “Green light!” for a rewatch.
