3 best new to Netflix movies you should stream this weekend (July 3-5)
Can you believe we’re already in July? That’s over halfway through 2026 already, and writing those words alone makes me feel a bit on edge. But hey, let’s not talk about how fast time goes and instead focus on the jam-packed streaming service that is Netflix. Being the biggest streaming platform in the world, Netflix is constantly adding new content to its library, and the beginning of a new month means a bunch of great films were recently added.
If you’re planning a movie night this weekend and don’t know where to start, I’ve got you covered with a handful of thrilling picks. That includes the latest chapter in the “Enola Holmes” franchise, a dark horror film starring Anya Taylor-Joy, and a crime thriller from legendary director Christopher Nolan. So, here are the three films worth adding to your Netflix watchlist.
‘Enola Holmes 3’
Netflix recently dropped one of its biggest original releases: “Enola Holmes 3.” The mystery franchise has been a major success for the streamer, reimagining the world of Sherlock Holmes through his younger sister, Enola. Based on Nancy Springer’s YA novels, the series follows Enola Holmes, a resourceful teenage detective played by Millie Bobby Brown, who forges her own path while solving complex cases. This sequel introduces a more mature direction with a noticeably darker tone compared to earlier entries in the series.
Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) is preparing to marry Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) in Malta when her wedding is abruptly interrupted by the disappearance of her brother Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill). Left with cryptic clues including coded messages and references to the Battle of Khost, Enola begins an investigation that takes her across Malta and into hidden tunnels and coastal sites. Working alongside Tewkesbury, Dr Watson (Himesh Patel), and her mother Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter), she uncovers a conspiracy involving stolen Afghan gold

‘The Witch’
With the recent release of the highly anticipated first trailer for Robert Eggers’ 13th-century gothic horror “Werwulf,” there truly is no better time to plunge back into the director’s back catalog, and Netflix has delivered perfectly on that front. “The Witch” offers the ultimate refresher course in Eggers’ signature style, and remains a masterclass in slow-burn, historically meticulous folk horror that turns an isolated New England forest into a playground of paranoia. Just be warned, you might have to sleep with the lights on after watching it.
Set in 1630s New England, a Puritan family is exiled from their settlement and builds a homestead near a dense forest. After their infant son Samuel disappears while in the care of eldest daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy), the family begins searching for answers. Strange events follow, including the collapse of their crops and unsettling behavior from the twins, Mercy (Ellie Grainger) and Jonas (Lucas Dawson). With fear and suspicion escalating, the family is pushed into increasingly desperate actions.

‘Memento’
Clearly, Netflix wants viewers to keep up to date with directors and their new films, because with Christopher Nolan’s massive, $250 million mythic action epic “The Odyssey” set to conquer IMAX screens this month, the streaming giant has perfectly timed the arrival of “Memento.” This psychological neo-noir thriller is widely considered the landmark film that put Nolan on the map, and for an independent film, it even earned Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing. Safe to say, this film might mess with your mind.
Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) wakes up in a motel room with a condition that prevents him from forming new memories. He is tracking the man he believes killed his wife, using a system of handwritten notes, Polaroid photographs, and tattoos to keep hold of information. Moving between motel rooms, bars, and fragmented encounters, Leonard follows leads tied to a name he repeatedly refers to as “John G.” As he pieces together clues across disjointed timelines, Leonard moves closer to confronting the truth behind his wife’s death.
