The best streaming service isn't a one-size-fits-all type of choice anymore. There are hundreds of niche services to choose from nowadays, which means you can find a streamer that's dedicated to showcasing a very specific type of content, from arthouse films and documentaries to horror and sports, and more – and not all are subscription-based either, with the rise of free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST).

In this guide, instead of recommending the single best streaming service, we've focused on the six biggest streaming services by global subscription numbers – [Disney Plus](https://www.techradar.com/reviews/disney-plus-review) and [Hulu](https://www.techradar.com/reviews/hulu), which we're recommending as a bundled subscription, [Apple TV Plus](https://www.techradar.com/reviews/apple-tv-plus), [Max](https://www.techradar.com/news/hbo-max-price-free-trial-movies-the-snyder-cut-and-more-explained), [Netflix](https://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/av-accessories/netflix-1065801/review), [Paramount Plus](https://www.techradar.com/news/paramount-plus-launch-time-free-trial-apps-movies-shows-and-everything-we-know-at-launch) and [Prime Video](https://www.techradar.com/reviews/amazon-prime-review) – to help you choose which one to sign up to this month. Why this month? Because each offers a very mixed library of movies and shows that changes from month-to-month.

Each streamer is constantly adding and removing content as well as announcing new subscription changes, which can range from more ads and price hikes to password crackdowns and UI updates, so we've opted to evaluate each service's offerings on a monthly basis to help you decide whether it's worth keeping your subscription or canceling it for another.

## Reasons to join this month

✅ **You love blockbuster franchises:** With [three familiar movie franchises coming to Netflix in July](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/3-familiar-movie-franchises-are-coming-to-netflix-in-july-2024-and-2-have-over-90-on-rotten-tomatoes), there’s plenty to enjoy for _Back to the Future, Spider-Man,_ and _Bad Boys_ fans.

✅ **You missed two of TV’s biggest shows:** The cult classic mystery show _Lost_ that had everyone on tenterhooks in 2004 is now available, along with the final season of _Suits_, letting you binge watch the full series.

✅ **Your favorite type of movies are thrillers:** Netflix’s existing library is rock solid, just look at these [five thrillers with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/5-netflix-thriller-movies-with-over-90-on-rotten-tomatoes-you-cant-miss), but there’s also _Captain Phillips_ and _The Man from U.N.C.L.E._ being added this month.

## Reasons to switch this month

❌ **You don’t like rom-coms:** _A Family Affair_ is seeing dismal reviews, and while there are [three better rom-coms to stream with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/a-family-affair-is-netflixs-1-movie-but-there-are-3-better-rom-coms-to-stream-with-over-90-on-rotten-tomatoes), Prime Video’s _The Idea of You_ is rated higher and is a better option for romance.

❌ **You’d rather skip hyped action movies:** _Trigger Warning_, which also prompted us to recommend [three better action flicks with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/trigger-warning-is-netflixs-1-movie-but-here-are-3-better-action-flicks-with-over-90-on-rotten-tomatoes), is another flop. If you want action movies, check out Max.

❌ **You’re looking for a scare:** While horror movies like [_American Psycho_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/my-favorite-underrated-horror-movie-has-landed-on-netflix-heres-why-you-should-ignore-its-low-rotten-tomatoes-rating) _, Annabelle_ and _Jigsaw_ have been added this month, you can find more varied selections elsewhere, such as [the Saw movies on Disney Plus](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/disney-plus/the-saw-movies-are-on-disney-plus-heres-three-you-shouldnt-miss).

![A TV icon with a tick in the middle of it](https://vanilla.futurecdn.net/cyclingnews/media/img/missing-image.svg)

What's new this month?

If you’re considering signing up this month, then you’ll find 39 shows and 55 movies in [everything new on Netflix July 2024](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/everything-new-on-netflix-in-july-2024), which is an increase from the 28 TV shows added in June but it’s also less than the 69 flicks dropped as part of [everything new on Netflix in June 2024](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/everything-new-on-netflix-in-june-2024). Alongside classic family comedies like _Uncle Buck_ and _Matilda,_ you’ll find plenty more Netflix Originals this month too, including _Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,_ [_Cobra Kai_ season six](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/cobra-kai-season-6-everything-we-know-so-far), [_The Boyfriend_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/4-lgbtq-shows-on-netflix-with-over-90-on-rotten-tomatoes-to-stream-while-you-wait-for-the-boyfriend) _,_ and more, so if you’re excited to catch these, then it might be worth the $6.99 for this month.

### Is Netflix worth subscribing to?

If you’re looking to catch new seasons from hit shows like [_Bridgerton_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/netflixs-bridgerton-season-3-part-2-trailer-teases-a-surprising-new-detail-about-the-shows-budding-romance) and [_Cobra Kai_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/netflix-chops-cobra-kai-season-6-into-3-parts-with-a-15-episode-finale-that-starts-in-july), then July could be a great time to sign-up. But it’s worth keeping in mind that _Emily in Paris_ and [_The Umbrella Academy_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/netflixs-the-umbrella-academy-season-4) will return in August. While there weren't many titles [leaving Netflix in July 2024](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/everything-leaving-netflix-in-july-2024), there are [five movies with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/5-movies-leaving-netflix-with-over-90-on-rotten-tomatoes) set to see the boot, alongside a couple of recent cancellations, including a [hit animation show with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/netflix-cancels-hit-animation-show-with-100-rotten-tomatoes-score-and-fans-are-devastated?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=other) score, and [a new fantasy series from the producers of _Dar_ k](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/netflix-just-canceled-a-new-fantasy-series-from-darks-producers-before-it-even-aired-and-im-really-not-happy), so it might be worth holding out for a [potential free ad-supported Netflix](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/netflix-could-be-planning-a-completely-free-ad-supported-service-but-theres-a-catch) but who knows when that will arrive.

Netflix deals

Save money with the [best streaming deals](https://www.techradar.com/deals/best-streaming-deals) and [TV subscription coupons](https://www.techradar.com/coupons/category/tv-subscription-services).

Despite raising subscription prices several times over the past decade, introducing more ads by [removing its Basic tier in June](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/angry-netflix-fans-threaten-to-close-their-accounts-as-streaming-giant-confirms-its-axing-its-basic-tier-for-good-in-june) and [clamping down on password-sharing](https://www.techradar.com/news/netflix-password-sharing), Netflix remains the most popular streaming service in the world. Its biggest draw? The shed tons of [best Netflix movies](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-netflix-movies) and [best Netflix shows](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-netflix-shows) that it has in its catalog, which also happens to be second largest compared to rivals. Although Netflix’s movie library isn’t as big as the 12,000 on Prime Video, there are a lot of highly-rated gems with [Reelgood data](https://data.reelgood.com/counting-catalog-content-in-an-era-of-rising-prices-for-subscription-streaming-reelgoods-tally-of-library-titles-shows-which-services-are-maintaining-their-value-proposition-and-w/) showing that it had close to 4,000 titles in the US in 2023. It’s the same story with TV shows after it started to scale back investments in production, with its list of close to 2,500 series beaten (only just) by 150 more from Hulu.

But it’s not only about quantity, as it has quality Netflix Originals like _Wednesday, Stranger Things, Dahmer: Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Show, Bridgerton_, and _The Queen’s Gambit_– all of which make up [the five most-watched shows](https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/6361382/type/dlg/sid/trd-us-1160567909688385003/https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/most-popular/tv) on the service with over 732 million views as of June 23, 2024. What’s unique to Netflix is that the majority of its catalog is made up of originals. Granted, its studios don’t have a seamless track record, with some seeing terrible reviews from critics, but many of its titles have been surefire hits, winning countless awards for shows like _House of Cards_ and _Orange is the New Black_ and movies like _Roma_ and _The Power of the Dog_.

The service itself is also seamless. After all, the familiar ‘tudum’ greeting and interface we’ve all come to recognize set the standard for streaming homescreens we know today, and has been copied by many of its rivals. That hasn’t stopped Netflix from continuing to experiment, with plans to test [major changes that’ll make finding new movies and shows so much easier](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/netflix-is-testing-major-changes-thatll-make-finding-new-movies-and-shows-so-much-easier). On top of this, you can access high-quality streams in HD, [4K](https://www.techradar.com/tag/4k) Ultra HD and [HDR, which was updated to be Dynamically Optimized](https://www.techradar.com/televisions/netflix-quietly-rolled-out-an-hdr-upgrade-for-4k-tvs-here-are-the-details) in late 2023 to improve brightness and color. Sure, it’s not the cheapest streaming service, but in terms of its value proposition, Netflix is the most well-rounded offering.

### Reasons to join this month

✅ **You love cult classics:** Cult classic movie fans are in for a treat this month as the likes of _Gladiator, Taxi Driver,_ and _No Country for Old Men_ are [all coming to Prime Video in July.](https://www.techradar.com/news/new-prime-video-movies)

✅ **You love period dramas:** If you’ve already watched _My Lady Jane,_ you can also check out [three more highly-rated period dramas on Prime Video](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/cant-wait-to-stream-prime-videos-bridgerton-rival-my-lady-jane-here-are-3-more-period-dramas-to-watch-now-and-one-has-100-on-rotten-tomatoes) to stream next to keep the adventure going.

✅ **You missed some of TV’s biggest shows:** The critically acclaimed show [_The Boys_season four](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/the-boys-season-4) is out now, as well as hugely popular series [_The Rings of Power_](https://www.techradar.com/news/the-rings-of-power-season-2-everything-we-know-so-far) _,_ [_Fallout_](https://www.techradar.com/tag/fallout), and [_Reacher_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/reacher-season-3-will-take-the-man-mountain-hero-out-of-his-comfort-zone-on-prime-video) if you haven’t watched those already _._

### Reasons to switch this month

❌ **You want some sci-fi action:** While [Prime Video canceled hit sci-fi series _Outer Range_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/my-favorite-prime-video-sci-fi-show-just-got-canceled-and-im-devastated) _,_ [Netflix’s dark superhero series _Supacell_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/netflix/netflixs-2-most-watched-show-is-a-dark-superhero-series-with-100-on-rotten-tomatoes-here-are-3-more-to-watch-next) has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and would be a great alternative.

❌ **You’d rather miss out on being scared:** Prime Video is home to an array of horror movies and TV shows, including [_Nanny,_which has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/prime-video-movie-of-the-day-nanny). But if you don’t fancy a scare, then [Disney Plus](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/disney-plus) is an ideal choice.

❌ **You want quality over quantity:** Although Prime Video has some stellar original content, it also has a lot of lower quality movies and TV shows. If you want high-caliber content, then [Apple TV Plus](https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-tv-plus-cost-review-and-everything-you-need-to-know) is the way to go.

While the hugely popular series _The Boys_ season four is now available to stream, there’s plenty of more Amazon Originals to enjoy with [_The Marvelous Mrs Maisel_](https://www.techradar.com/news/how-to-watch-the-marvelous-mrs-maisel-season-4-online-stream-every-episode-on-amazon-prime) _,_ [_The Tomorrow War_](https://www.techradar.com/news/amazon-primes-next-big-sci-fi-movie-gets-a-summer-blockbuster-style-trailer#:~:text=The%20Tomorrow%20War%20will%20launch,Prime%20Video%20on%20July%202.&text=As%20TechRadar's%20senior%20entertainment%20reporter,you%20need%20to%20know%20about.), and [_The Summer I Turned Pretty_](https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-watch-the-summer-i-turned-pretty-online-stream-every-episode-of-the-new-amazon-original-show#:~:text=It's%20an%208%2Dpart%20series,because%20it's%20already%20been%20greenlit!). From classic flicks to cinematic releases, there’s a diverse range of highly rated movies constantly being added to the service every month, just check out our [three movies new to Prime Video with 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/3-movies-new-to-prime-video-with-90-or-higher-on-rotten-tomatoes) and [five movies new to Prime Video with 88% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/5-movies-new-to-prime-video-with-88-or-higher-on-rotten-tomatoes). So if you’re eager to catch these then it might be worth the $8.99 for this month.

### Is Prime Video worth subscribing to?

If you want to catch new episodes from hit shows like _The Boys, My Lady Jane_ and _Those About to Die,_ then July is the month to subscribe to Prime Video. However, there’s also more exciting projects in the works at [Amazon](https://www.techradar.com/tag/amazon) Studios to expand its TV content, including an [animated cat comedy called _Kevin_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/prime-video-is-getting-a-new-animated-cat-comedy-from-audrey-plaza-and-big-mouths-joe-wengert-and-it-sounds-hilarious) _,_ [a prequel _Legally Blonde_series](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/prime-video-is-making-prequel-series-for-legally-blonde-and-alex-cross-and-you-can-watch-the-first-trailer-for-cross-now), [a live-action _Spider-Man_ Noir](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/prime-video-is-making-a-live-action-spider-man-noir-series-starring-nic-cage-spinning-off-his-spider-verse-character) series, [_Mr and Mrs Smith_season two](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/prime-video-confirms-mr-and-mrs-smith-season-2-is-coming-in-a-spoiler-y-teaser-video) and more. Of course, we also have _The Rings of Power_ season two to look forward to in August, which might be a better time.

Despite Prime Video introducing ads at the start of 2024 [unless you pay an extra $2.99](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/reminder-amazon-prime-video-is-about-to-start-inserting-ads-unless-you-pay-more) a month to get rid of them, it still remains as one of the most popular streaming services. While the skippable ads may be off-putting before you start watching something, its substantial [best Prime Video movies](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-amazon-prime-movies) and [best Prime Video shows](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-amazon-prime-shows) on their platform allows you to get a lot for your money with tons more titles available than Netflix and Disney Plus. It's no surprise that Prime Video usually prioritizes its movie selection over its TV shows, but Amazon Studios has paid a lot of attention to producing original content in recent years and it’s certainly paid off, with _The Boys_ becoming a cultural phenomenon.

According to [JustWatch](https://www.justwatch.com/us/provider/amazon-prime-video), Prime Video has over 26,300 movies and more than 2,700 TV shows. The sheer size of its catalog doesn’t outweigh the quality though as its [Originals have won 75 awards and has been nominated a staggering 246 times](https://press.amazonmgmstudios.com/us/en/awards-by-show). It’s well known that Amazon tends to focus a lot of their attention on movies and their colossal film library is thanks to them buying MGM Studios in 2022. This factor combined with their other licensing deals allows us to stream the likes of _Licorice Pizza, Creed, Skyfall,_ [_Casino Royale_](https://www.techradar.com/news/how-to-watch-casino-royale-online-stream-the-classic-bond-movie-anywhere) _,_ and _Hotel Rwanda._

Prime Video also gives you the ability to buy and rent content, which has both positives and negatives. Although this allows users to have more choice, the paid content is mixed with free content, which can be frustrating when you search for something to watch, only to find you have to pay for it. This can be changed when you switch to the ‘Free to me’ section, but you can’t make this the default, so it would be easy to forget to select this option every time you scroll through the content mines. Despite its flaws, there’s something for everyone on Prime Video, so there’s a lot of value for your money.

## Reasons to switch this month

What's new this month?

Comedies seem to be a big focus for Disney Plus and Hulu this month, with movies like _Step Brothers, Super Troopers_ and _Sex Tape_ all joining the library. So if you’re in need of a laugh, you might want to hang on to both subscriptions.There’s a big focus on game shows too as US audiences can catch the _Who Wants to Be a Millionaire_ season 23 premiere as well as the season 10 debut of _Celebrity Family Feud,_ alongside a _Decades of Laughs_ special for the original _Family Feud._ If you love Disney Parks and want to get an inside look into them, _EPCOT Becoming: Inside the Transformation_ focuses on the Florida park, giving us a behind-the-scenes peek at EPCOT’s recent makeover. There’s bad news for movie fans though as [five Wes Anderson movies have been kicked off the streamer](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/hulu/5-of-my-favorite-wes-anderson-movies-are-leaving-hulu-in-july-2024).

## Is Disney Plus and Hulu worth subscribing to?

In July, Hulu and Disney Plus’ main focus appears to be _Star Wars_ and comedy, so if these categories interest you, it’s certainly worth sticking around to get your money’s worth. _The Bear_ is one of the major FX programs [nominated forOutstanding Comedy Series at the 2024 Emmys](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/from-abbott-elementary-to-the-bear-heres-where-to-stream-all-the-2024-emmy-nominees-for-outstanding-comedy-series) and has attracted large viewership figures alongside [_Star Wars: The Acolyte_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/disney-plus/star-wars-the-acolyte-everything-we-know-about-the-disney-plus-show) and _Shōgun –_ if you're after similar shows, here are [three more series to keep the adventure going](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/disney-plus/shgun-is-a-disney-plus-and-hulu-hit-here-are-3-more-series-to-keep-the-adventure-going).

### Reasons to join this month

✅ **Your favorite movie is one made by A24:** The indie powerhouse has a deal with Max to stream all of its new movies exclusively for a limited time, which means that its queer slasher _Love Lies Bleeding_ landed on the platform on July 19.

✅ **You adore Elizabeth Taylor:** Among the mammoth list of new movies being added to Max in July are three classics from Hollywood's golden age with the arrivals of _Cat on a Hot Tin Roof_ (1958), _Cleopatra_ (1963), and _Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?_ (1966).

✅ **You love thrillers:** If you like David Fincher classics, M Night Shyamalan mysteries and director Rose Glass, who made her movie debut in 2019 with psychological horror _Saint Maud_, then these [five new nail-biting movies on Max with over 75% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/hbo-max/5-new-nail-biting-movies-on-max-with-over-75-on-rotten-tomatoes) are for you.

### Reasons to switch this month

❌ **You don't like horror movies:** With the full _Saw_ movie collection arriving on Max in July, you might want to give it a skip as that will mean you miss out on watching almost 10 movies on the platform – if you're about getting your absolute money's worth.

❌ **You're not a** _**Game of Thrones**_ **fan:** It'll be all dragons in July on Max with the return of [_House of the Dragon_ season two](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/hbo-max/house-of-the-dragon-season-2). As we said in our review, it's "a [bloody and blazingly brilliant return to form](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/hbo-max/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-review)", making it well worth a watch.

As the home to HBO Originals, Max is the best streaming service to catch award-winning shows like modern phenomenons _Game of Thrones, Succession, The White Lotus, The Last of Us,_ and now iconic series' of _The Sopranos, The Wire,_ and _Sex and the City._ Our list of [best Max shows](https://www.techradar.com/news/best-hbo-max-shows) is ever-growing with new monthly additions, which means there are hundreds of hours worth of content to stream on the app. Indeed, the service has made a name for itself for offering quality originals, which is why we named it [the best streaming service of 2023](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/how-max-became-our-streaming-service-of-the-year-and-beat-netflix).

This quality value for money extends to its movie catalog too, which admittedly doesn't have as many original productions but it does include classic and modern Hollywood films – just look at our picks of the [best Max movies](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-hbo-max-movies) to get an idea of the types of critically rated films you can watch on the service. While it has less movies than TV shows (based on [Reelgood data](https://data.reelgood.com/counting-catalog-content-in-an-era-of-rising-prices-for-subscription-streaming-reelgoods-tally-of-library-titles-shows-which-services-are-maintaining-their-value-proposition-and-w/) from 2023), that list is expanding.

[Max](https://www.techradar.com/news/hbo-max-price-free-trial-movies-the-snyder-cut-and-more-explained) is one of the youngest streaming services around, having launched in May 2023 after Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) merged HBO Max (its original streaming service launched in 2020) with Discovery. But that hasn't stopped it rolling out two price rises in the space of a year – the first time it raised prices for its ad-free service was in early 2023 followed by another [shock subscription increase in June 2024](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/hbo-max/max-shocks-with-an-immediate-subscription-increase-just-before-hbos-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-premiere).

### Reasons to join this month

✅ **You love sci-fi:** [Apple TV Plus has become a sci-fi utopia](https://www.techradar.com/features/apple-tv-plus-is-now-a-sci-fi-tv-show-utopia-here-are-4-series-you-need-to-watch) with its epic line-up of critically acclaimed shows such as [_Severance_](https://www.techradar.com/news/severance-review-how-does-apple-tvs-whip-smart-satire-on-office-culture-stack-up) _,_ [_Silo_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/youve-probably-missed-silo-on-apple-tv-plus-but-its-must-watch-sci-fi), [_Foundation_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/foundation-season-3-everything-we-know-so-far)_,_ and [_For All Mankind_](https://www.techradar.com/news/apples-for-all-mankind-has-the-right-stuff-to-be-your-next-tv-binge) _–_ and July is a great time to join with the debut of [_Sunny_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/apple-tv-plus-is-getting-two-very-different-buddy-comedies-by-the-looks-of-the-instigators-and-sunny-trailers) _._

✅ **You want a thrill:** Natalie Portman’s thriller series [_Lady in the Lake_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/apple-tv-plus-gripping-new-trailer-sees-natalie-portman-as-an-obsessive-news-reporter-and-it-looks-like-a-wild-ride) has arrived on [Apple](https://www.techradar.com/tag/apple)'s streaming service in July as well as new episodes from its most-watched drama [_Presumed Innocent_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/apple-tv-plus-presumed-innocent-trailer-sees-jake-gyllenhaal-in-a-tense-courtroom-thriller).

✅ **You love book adaptations:** Apple TV Plus is home to many highly-rated [book-to-screen adaptations that have scored over 86% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/3-shows-on-apple-tv-plus-with-86-or-higher-on-rotten-tomatoes-to-stream-while-you-wait-for-lady-in-the-lake), including _Drops of God, Pachinko,_ and _Lessons in Chemistry._

### Reasons to switch this month

❌ **You’re a horror fan:** The streamer lacks when it comes to horror content. We’d suggest looking elsewhere in July. As one example, you can watch [the _Saw_ movies on Disney Plus](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/disney-plus/the-saw-movies-are-on-disney-plus-heres-three-you-shouldnt-miss).

❌ **You love anime:** While there’s a selection of animation movies and TV shows to enjoy on Apple TV Plus, with the most recent addition being [_WondLa_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/forget-waiting-for-inside-out-2-on-disney-plus-apple-tv-plus-wondla-is-the-animated-adventure-you-need-to-watch-first), Netflix is ideal for some of the [best anime](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-anime).

❌ **You’re a hopeless romantic:** Apple TV Plus isn’t a trailblazer when it comes to romance, but Prime Video’s [_The Idea of You_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/amazon-prime-video/prime-video-movie-of-the-day-the-idea-of-you) and [_The Summer I Turned Pretty_](https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-watch-the-summer-i-turned-pretty-online-stream-every-episode-of-the-new-amazon-original-show#:~:text=It's%20an%208%2Dpart%20series,because%20it's%20already%20been%20greenlit!) are great alternatives.

![A TV icon with a tick in the middle of it](https://vanilla.futurecdn.net/cyclingnews/media/img/missing-image.svg)

What's new this month?

Apple TV Plus continues to deliver some great original content with six new movies and shows being added in July 2024 – and there’s [four new shows we can’t wait to watch](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/4-new-apple-tv-plus-shows-arriving-in-july-2024-that-i-cant-wait-to-watch) from that list including _Sunny, Women in Blue, Me,_ and _Lady in the Lake_. There’s even more where that came from in our [three new Apple TV Plus shows with over 80% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/3-new-apple-tv-plus-shows-with-over-80-on-rotten-tomatoes). If you want high-quality content for $8.99 then Apple TV Plus might be worth your investment this month.

### Is Apple TV Plus worth subscribing to?

There's plenty of new Apple Originals content added to the platform every single month, such as the highly-anticipated thriller series _Lady in the Lake_ and dark comedy _Sunny_ all available in July. However, there's more in the works with [_Severance_ season two](https://www.techradar.com/news/severance-season-2-everything-we-know-so-far), [_Foundation_ season three](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/foundation-season-3-everything-we-know-so-far) and Apple TV Plus’ most-watched drama [_Presumed Innocent_ is getting a second season](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/presumed-innocent-is-apple-tv-plus-most-watched-drama-and-its-getting-a-second-season). Critically acclaimed drama series [_Pachinko_ season two](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/one-of-apple-tv-plus-best-rated-shows-is-getting-a-second-season-in-august-and-you-can-watch-its-new-title-sequence-today) is arriving on the streamer in August if you'd rather subscribe then.

Apple TV Plus remains one of the [best streaming services](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-tv-streaming-service-cord-cutting-compare) due to its original and high-quality content, which you can check out in our [best Apple TV shows](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-apple-tv-shows) and [best Apple TV Plus movies](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-apple-tv-movies-the-best-movies-you-can-stream-on-apple-tv-plus-right-now). The streamer has produced some of TV’s biggest shows, such as [_Ted Lasso_](https://www.techradar.com/features/ted-lasso-season-3-review) and _Severance,_ and while it might not have a huge content library like Prime Video does, it prioritizes outstanding original material, with the likes of _Lessons in Chemistry_ and _Trying_ becoming huge successes for the platform.

The streamer has become the go-to destination for sci-fi TV shows with series like _Dark Matter, Foundation,_ and _Severance,_ and has also made a name for itself with its top-tier comedy content like [_Shrinking_](https://www.techradar.com/news/ted-lasso-team-to-bring-harrison-ford-to-apple-tv-plus-in-new-comedy-shrinking) and, of course, _Ted Lasso._ Apple TV Plus continues to expand its comedy library with buddy cop movie [_Wolfs_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/george-clooney-and-brad-pitt-reunite-in-the-trailer-for-hitman-buddy-comedy-movie-wolfs-and-itll-come-to-apple-tv-plus) and murder-mystery comedy [_Bad Monkey_](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/apple-tv-plus-next-big-comedy-from-ted-lassos-co-creator-sounds-absolutely-wild-and-its-out-in-august) from _Ted Lasso_ co-creator Bill Lawrence that is bound to bring in a large audience. Meanwhile, we are also looking forward to _Severance_ season two and _Foundation_ season three arriving on the streaming service.

While Apple TV Plus [hiked its prices dramatically](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/apple-tv-plus-is-getting-a-major-price-hike-and-i-couldnt-be-more-annoyed) in 2023, the streamer offers a number of free trials for you to test out their stellar content and is ad-free for the price of $8.99 a month. Although this could be about to change after we [reported that Apple has recruited a number of ad execs](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/apple-tv-plus/apple-tv-plus-could-be-next-to-get-an-ad-based-tier-after-netflix-disney-and-amazon) and had also been rumored to be testing a new AI-powered tool for optimizing App Store ads.

Another positive is that you also have the option to share a single subscription with up to five people, so your friends and family can enjoy the service while watching in 4K [HDR](https://www.techradar.com/tag/hdr) video with immersive [Spatial Audio](https://www.techradar.com/news/spatial-audio-your-complete-guide-to-immersive-speakers-headphones-and-streaming-services#:~:text=The%20format%20gives%20sound%20a,is%20particularly%20useful%20for%20cinema.) that gives you a proper cinematic experience. While Apple TV Plus might not be a replacement for other streaming services when it comes to quantity, in terms of quality they hit them out of the park for $8.99.

### Reasons to join this month

✅ **You're a Trekkie:** Paramount Plus is home to all the major _[Star Trek](https://www.techradar.com/tag/star-trek)_ movies and TV shows, and July has seen another major batch of favorites added, such as _[Star Trek](https://www.techradar.com/tag/star-trek): First Contact, Star Trek: Generations,_ and _[Star Trek](https://www.techradar.com/tag/star-trek): Insurrection._

✅ **You want to catch new Paramount Originals:** The most recent new addition to the platform is a drama called _Memory_ by the award-winning Mexican writer and director Michel Franco that already has 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.

✅ **You want to celebrate** _**SpongeBob SquarePants**_ **:** To mark the 25th anniversary of the Nickelodeon cartoon, Paramount Plus is premiering the second season of the spin-off series _Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years_ in July.

### Reasons to switch this month

❌ **You're an existing Paramount Plus subscriber:** With the [streamer set to raise prices in August](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/paramount-plus-is-hiking-prices-again-but-its-still-cheaper-than-netflix-disney-plus-and-max), now is a good time to dodge those higher fees if you've been considering switching up your subscriptions.

❌ **You don't like reality TV:** The likes of _Big Brother_ and _RuPaul's Drag Race_ are returning with brand new seasons throughout July, and there's plenty others to look forward to including _Help! I'm in a Secret Relationship,_ and _Basketball Wives._

❌ **You're a** _**Yellowstone**_ **fan:** [Part two of season five isn't going to be released until November 10](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/paramount-plus-announces-release-date-for-yellowstone-season-5-part-2-but-one-cowboy-wont-be-riding-his-horse-again), so there's still some time before you'll be able to stream the cowboy drama on Paramount Plus.

![A TV icon with a tick in the middle of it](https://vanilla.futurecdn.net/cyclingnews/media/img/missing-image.svg)

What's new this month?

July is a good month for new Paramount Plus Originals coming to the platform, with the drama _Memory,_ cartoon series _Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years,_ reality shows _Big Brother_ and _RuPaul's Drag Race_, and two new docuseries – _I'm not Broken_ and _Mafia Spies –_ premiering throughout the month. However, there's also been a lot of change at the service. From announcing an [incoming price hike](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/paramount-plus-is-hiking-prices-again-but-its-still-cheaper-than-netflix-disney-plus-and-max) to finally agreeing to [merge with long-time partner Skydance](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/paramount-and-skydance-could-be-the-next-big-streaming-giant-heres-what-that-might-mean-for-paramount-plus), the company is set to embark on a new chapter that will likely mean some changes to its streaming service.

## Is Paramount Plus worth subscribing to?

Paramount Plus doesn't switch up its library as often as rivals but it's still adding new movies and shows each month, and July is no different with a new original called _Memory,_ alongside series _Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, Big Brother, RuPaul's Drag Race_, and two new docuseries – _I'm not Broken_ and _Mafia Spies._ If these are enough to draw you in then you won't be disappointed as it's also adding a load of great classics, including these [four movies with over 86% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/4-new-paramount-plus-movies-with-over-86-on-rotten-tomatoes) and [five shows with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/quick-you-have-3-days-to-get-50-off-paramount-plus-here-are-5-shows-with-100-on-rotten-tomatoes-to-start-with).

Paramount Plus has been a streaming service in flux. With the exception of Netflix, it is one of the oldest streamers around, having launched back in 2014 as CBS All Access (it was later rebranded to Paramount Plus in 2021), and has scaled its offering quickly, attracting more than 60 million subscribers [thanks to the success of _Star Trek_ and _Yellowstone_](https://www.techradar.com/news/paramount-plus-is-officially-a-success-while-netflix-risks-it-all-over-passwords) _._ It's existing original content like this that mostly makes up the [best Paramount Plus shows](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-paramount-plus-shows) and movies, and that means it's a bit limited in terms of its catalog, especially since it started [removing multiple shows](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/paramount-plus-joins-disney-plus-and-max-by-removing-multiple-shows-from-its-platform-and-im-sick-of-it) from its platform at the start of 2024 to help keep its business lean.

That cost-cutting approach, which has seen it [raise subscription prices](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/paramount-plus-is-hiking-prices-again-but-its-still-cheaper-than-netflix-disney-plus-and-max) two years in a row since 2022 and combine its Showtime platform with Paramount Plus to condense spending ( [Showtime stopped streaming](https://www.techradar.com/streaming/paramount-plus/showtime-will-stop-streaming-this-month-heres-when-to-switch-to-paramount-plus) in April 2024), could be set to change though, after it merged with its longtime partner on blockbusters like _Top Gun: Maverick_ and _Star Trek Into Darkness,_ Skydance in July 2024. While nothing is certain about what could change, it is likely that we'll see a fresh approach outlined, despite Paramount's chair Shari Redstone declaring at the time that content would remain king.

While our pick of the [best Paramount Plus movies](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-paramount-plus-movies-the-top-movies-to-stream-on-paramount-plus-right-now) makes for an impressive list, it doesn't have the biggest range in the industry. In the US, it has the second smallest movie catalog (only Apple TV Plus has less) at 803 titles, based on Reelgood data from 2023, which is half as many as it had in 2022. The number of series available, on the other hand, has largely stayed the same and was at 752 in 2023, and includes originals like _Tulsa King, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, The Castaways, Special Ops: Lioness, Lawmen: Bass Reeves,_ and _Mayors of Kingstown,_ which you can stream in 4K and Dolby Atmos with its premium plan.
