Amazon Prime Video is set to release a variety of new content in July 2026, featuring new original series, animated films, and returning favorites. Subscribers with an Amazon Prime membership will have automatic access to the Prime Video streaming library, with options for ad-free viewing available for an additional monthly fee.
Among the highlights is the debut of "Elle," a prequel series to the popular "Legally Blonde" franchise, premiering on July 1. The show follows a young Elle Woods during her high school years in Seattle and has already been renewed for a second season. Newcomer Lexi Minetree takes on the lead role.
Fans of anime can look forward to "The Ghost in the Shell" Season 1, arriving on July 7. This new adaptation of Masamune Shirow's 1989 manga has been praised for its vibrant and colorful update, with early episodes receiving a 9 out of 10 review from IGN.
The animated family film "The Wild Robot" will be available starting July 24. Directed by Chris Sanders, known for "Lilo & Stitch" and "How to Train Your Dragon," the movie tells the story of an automaton that befriends local wildlife. IGN awarded the film an 8 out of 10, describing it as a "tear-jerking and unpredictable animated adventure."
Concluding the month on July 31 is the second season of "Batman: Caped Crusader." The new season brings 10 episodes, continuing the series' reimagining of characters from the original "Batman: The Animated Series." The first season received a 7 out of 10 from IGN for its detective-story approach.
In addition to these new additions, Prime Video will also be adding a broad selection of classic films and TV series throughout July, including titles like "Gladiator," "Saving Private Ryan," "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," "Gilmore Girls" seasons 1-7, and "Everybody Hates Chris" seasons 1-4. A comprehensive list of all content arriving on the service can be found by day.
Prime Video's ad-free tier, now known as Prime Video Ultra, requires an additional $4.99 per month subscription as of April 2026, following a price increase earlier in the year. New subscribers can take advantage of a 30-day free trial, with students eligible for a six-month free trial.
