4 Things to Watch Tonight: Sunday Picks for July 19

Sunday is winding down, and whether you have spent the afternoon watching the World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain or simply enjoying a quiet weekend at home, there is plenty worth streaming tonight. From the number one show on Netflix to a freshly released A24 blockbuster now available to watch at home, here is what deserves your attention this evening.

Little House on the Prairie — Netflix

Netflix's adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic novels has dominated the platform since its July 9 premiere, currently holding the number one spot on the global charts with 714 FlixPatrol points. The eight-episode first season follows the Ingalls family — Charles (Luke Bracey), Caroline (Crosby Fitzgerald), and daughters Mary (Skywalker Hughes) and Laura (Alice Halsey) — as they trade the Wisconsin woods for the wide-open plains of Kansas. Created by Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Vampire Diaries), the series balances frontier warmth with genuine dramatic stakes, touching on themes of displacement, community, and survival.

Critics have responded well, awarding Season 1 a 77% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Netflix has already ordered Season 2, a strong vote of confidence for any new series. For fans of the original 1974 series that ran nine seasons on NBC, this adaptation offers a fresh take with modern production values. If you need something warm to settle into after a busy weekend, this is the one.

Enola Holmes 3 — Netflix

Millie Bobby Brown returns as the sharp-witted teenage detective in Enola Holmes 3, which remains a steady presence in Netflix's top films since its July 1 release. The latest adventure sends Enola to Malta, where personal and professional ambitions collide in a case that brings her face to face with Henry Cavill's Sherlock Holmes and Helena Bonham Carter's Eudoria. Directed by Philip Barantini (Boiling Point) and written by franchise veteran Jack Thorne, the PG-13 mystery runs 108 minutes and holds a 69% Tomatometer score. While it may not reach the critical peaks of its predecessor, it is a reliable choice for family viewing or anyone who wants a light mystery to close out the weekend.

Backrooms — PVOD (Prime Video / Apple TV)

A24's record-shattering horror phenomenon has officially arrived on premium video-on-demand this weekend. Available to rent or purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV, Backrooms stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as a struggling furniture store owner who discovers a hidden dimension of endless liminal spaces where unspeakable horrors lurk. Director Kane Parsons, who built a following with his original YouTube web series, became the youngest filmmaker in history to top the domestic box office when the film opened to $81.4 million. It went on to gross over $364 million globally on a $10 million budget — an extraordinary return for independent cinema.

For those who prefer psychological horror with real craft, Ari Aster's Hereditary explores similarly unsettling family dynamics through a supernatural lens. Digital rentals for Backrooms start at $19.99 on Prime Video and Apple TV, with purchases at $24.99, and include the standard 30-day window to start watching plus 48 hours to finish.

ICYMI: The Odyssey Dominates Box Office

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is proving to be one of the biggest theatrical events of the decade, opening to $257 million worldwide — Nolan's best-ever global debut, ahead of The Dark Knight Rises. The domestic opening hit $120 million, making it the best live-action debut of 2026, backed by a rare A CinemaScore and across-the-board acclaim. Matt Damon leads the Homer adaptation as Odysseus, with a cast including Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Samantha Morton as Circe. If you missed it this weekend, make time for it while it is still on the big screen.
