Your Weekend Streaming Watch List: 'Untamed,' 'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' and More

Eric Bana, Sam Neill and Rosemarie Dewitt co-star in the new Netflix limited series Untamed, about an investigation that takes place inside the vast expanse of Yosemite National Park. In the six-episode series, Bana stars as a special agent named Kyle Turner who isn't so sure that the dead body found at the base of El Capitan is the result of an accident. As he and his team investigate, they encounter suspects and secrets, and he's forced to confront his own past and his failings in another case he couldn't solve.

Steven Spielberg's summer classic Jaws dropped on Netflix this week, and with Shark Week right around the corner, there's no better time to revisit the classic tale of a police chief (Roy Scheider) on a mission to destroy the killer shark terrorizing the local waters around the town of Amity. The film's three (less notable) sequels also arrived this week, but the 1975 original is the one to watch. The music, the indelible performances (Robert Shaw as Quint is grizzled perfection), and even the quaint animatronics add up to the perfect summer movie.

Apocalypse in the Tropics (July 14)

Apocalypse in the Tropics is the newest documentary film from Petra Costa, whose previous work includes 2019's Oscar-nominated film The Edge of Democracy, which is also available on Netflix. Like that film, Apocalypse in the Tropics takes viewers deep inside the often turbulent world of Brazilian politics, with the new film focusing on the rise of the Evangelical Christian influence among many of Brazil's leaders. The film, which spent four years in the making, arrived July 14.

The Summer I Turned Pretty, Season 3 (July 16)

The third (and final) season of Prime Video's hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty is back and the first two episodes are now available on the platform, perfect for a weekend watch. Based on the book series by Jenny Han, the show follows the love triangle between Belly (Lola Tung) and brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney), who was her first love, and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), the one she's currently seeing, as they spend their summers in the beach town of Cousins.

A spin-off of Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds heads into its third season this week, dropping the first two episodes of the season on Friday.

Billy Joel: And So It Goes (July 18)

This intimate new documentary about Billy Joel feels especially poignant now that Joel has been diagnosed with a brain disorder that has limited his ability to perform. Billy Joel: And So It Goes debuts on HBO Max on July 18 (part two arrives one week later on July 25) and explores the life of the Piano Man via rare interviews and performances.

Zillow Gone Wild, Season 2 (July 19)
