With July drawing to a close, I eagerly anticipate the fresh wave of new shows and movies that will grace the best streaming platforms. However, with the sheer volume of content being released daily, it can be a daunting task to sift through it all and discover what’s truly worth watching.

With the upcoming new Star Wars animation on Disney+ adding to the excitement, not to mention the fresh DC animation from a different source than Max, and the latest season of one of today’s most popular animated series – it’s a veritable feast for animation lovers like myself.

Spanning over five seasons, the entire collection has just been added to Netflix’s library. So, if you’re up for an exciting adventure and have an unused Netflix subscription, consider giving “Prison Break” a try!

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (Hulu)
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was one of the first big additions to a franchise by Disney that had been started before the studio bought Fox. Based on the movie’s solid box office performance it appears that the Planet of the Apes is still going strong, and for those that want to rewatch the film, or who missed it in theaters, the movie is making its streaming debut on Hulu this week.
In the upcoming film, the action takes place many years after the events depicted in the earlier trilogy. At this point, ape civilization has fragmented into various factions. The tales of Caesar are now viewed as myths. While apes engage in conflict with one another, humans endeavor to carve out a role in this novel landscape.
