Best New Movies on Prime Video in July 2025

10. Deep Cover – Available Now

This movie follows a group of British improv actors… yes, improv actors, who somehow find themselves wrapped up in an actual undercover police operation.

It’s like if your local comedy troupe accidentally infiltrated MI6 and had to wing it—on stage and in life. Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom lead the chaos, blending dry British wit with high-stakes undercover madness. It’s one of those you-put-this-on-for-a-laugh-but-stay-for-the-wild-ride type of flicks.

And honestly, sometimes you just need something absurd, fast-paced, and weirdly charming.

9. One Night in Idaho: The College Murders – Streaming July 11

This docuseries follows the harrowing, real-life story of four University of Idaho students who were brutally murdered in their home in the middle of the night.

But this isn’t just about the crime—it’s about what came after. A confused, grieving town. A media circus. A tidal wave of online rumors. And a manhunt that captivated the entire country.

It’s raw, emotional, and pretty disturbing. But it’s also handled with care, giving voice to the victims and pulling apart the layers of how fear, misinformation, and grief can twist a community into chaos.

If you’re into true crime that actually respects the people at the center of the story, this one will stay with you long after the credits roll.

8. Uppu Kappurambu – Streaming July 4

This movie follows a spirited village woman—played by the ever-radiant Keerthy Suresh—who’s elected as the first female head of her local council. But instead of a straightforward underdog tale, what we get is a whip-smart political satire filled with comedy, heart, and sharp cultural commentary.

Even if you’re not familiar with Telugu cinema, this one is surprisingly accessible. It balances lighthearted charm with real substance, offering insight into rural leadership, gender roles, and community-driven change. It’s colorful, clever, and well worth stepping outside the Hollywood bubble for.

7. Wicked (2024) – Streaming July 25

This movie follows Elphaba—the misunderstood green girl who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch of the West—and her unlikely friendship with Glinda, the Good Witch.

Set long before Dorothy drops in, this musical origin story gives us magic, betrayal, and bangers that’ll be stuck in your head all day.

It’s emotional. It’s theatrical. It’s epic. And with powerhouse vocals, massive production design, and a story that makes you rethink what you thought you knew about Oz—Wicked lands big. Whether you’re a Broadway buff or just want a fantasy film with heart, this one’s a mid-summer dream.

6. Ballard – Streaming July 9

This series follows Detective Renée Ballard—played with quiet intensity by Maggie Q—who’s been handed the worst gig in the LAPD: running a cold-case unit that nobody takes seriously.

But Ballard? She takes it personally. And that’s where things get interesting.

Tasked with reopening dead-end cases—including the terrifying “Flower Girl” serial killer case—she goes head-to-head with bureaucracy, corruption, and her own emotional ghosts. We even get appearances from Harry Bosch, which longtime fans will appreciate.

It’s slower, darker, and way more character-driven than your average cop show. And that’s what makes it great.

5. Heads of State – Streaming July 2

This movie follows two world leaders—John Cena as the President of the United States and Idris Elba as the Prime Minister of the U.K.—who absolutely despise each other.

Naturally, they’re forced to team up when their jet gets shot out of the sky and they find themselves in the middle of a global conspiracy.

It’s an action-comedy that knows exactly what it is: big, dumb fun with two ridiculously charismatic guys trying to out-muscle and out-snark each other while dodging bullets and saving the world.

Think Lethal Weapon, if Lethal Weapon had government secrets, MI6 agents, and more teeth-gritting political shade. If you’re craving fun over finesse, Heads of State delivers.

4. Justice on Trial – Streaming July 21

This series follows high-profile legal cases that challenge the idea that the law always equals justice. It’s a courtroom drama—but with a twist: you’re not always supposed to feel good about the outcome.

Think of it like a dramatized version of the toughest ethical dilemmas you’d find in a college philosophy class. Hosted and narrated by Judge Judy herself, the show’s less about black-and-white verdicts and more about all the gray in between.

If you love shows that make you think—and maybe rethink everything you know about fairness—this one’s worth your time.

3. Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War – Streaming July 23

This docuseries follows the dark underbelly of evangelical youth rallies—yes, the ones with bright lights, loud music, and wild praise sessions—but underneath that, there’s pressure, manipulation, and pain.

It pulls back the curtain on a culture that demands perfection while punishing individuality. And it does it through real testimonies, archival footage, and deep investigative reporting.

It’s eye-opening. Disturbing. And in many ways, heartbreaking. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when religion gets twisted into control, Shiny Happy People lays it all bare.

2. The Summer I Turned Pretty – Season 3 – Streaming July 16

This season follows Belly as she prepares to marry Jeremiah—her best friend turned fiancé—two years after choosing him over her first love, Conrad.

But of course, nothing’s ever that simple. Because Conrad? He’s back. And he’s not exactly over it.

As feelings resurface and old wounds reopen, Belly finds herself stuck in a love triangle that’s no longer just about teenage drama—it’s about real choices, adult consequences, and what it actually means to love someone.

It’s raw. It’s messy. And it’s the emotional conclusion fans have been waiting for. If you’ve been with Belly since Cousins Beach, prepare yourself—this one’s gonna hit hard.

1. One Night in Idaho: The College Murders – Streaming July 11

This docuseries follows the tragic true story of four University of Idaho students brutally murdered in their off-campus home during the night. What started as a quiet college town nightmare soon spiraled into national obsession.

As online rumors filled the vacuum of official information, amateur sleuths and conspiracy theorists flooded social media. What followed was a relentless manhunt—and a chilling reminder of how fear and speculation can shape public perception.

One Night in Idaho doesn’t just recount the crime—it explores the aftermath, the unanswered questions, and the psychological toll on a grieving community.

If you’re drawn to true crime that digs deeper than headlines, this one’s as haunting as it is human.
