What to Watch Tonight: Sunday Streaming Picks for July 5

The holiday weekend is winding down, and Sunday evening is prime time for settling in with something good. Whether you're in the mood for a twisty thriller, crime drama, a classic re-release, or family fun, there's plenty of fresh content. Here's what's worth your time tonight.

I Will Find You (Netflix)

Harlan Coben's latest Netflix adaptation has become the biggest show on streaming, and for good reason. I Will Find You stars Sam Worthington as a father wrongfully imprisoned for murdering his own son, on a desperate rescue mission after learning the boy may still be alive. The eight-episode limited series also features Britt Lower and Milo Ventimiglia in a story full of the twists Coben is known for. With 34 million views in its second week, it's the clear headliner for any thriller fan this weekend.

Dark Winds Season 4 (Netflix)

AMC's acclaimed Western noir just dropped its fourth season on Netflix, and it's a perfect binge for anyone craving intense mysteries. Dark Winds follows Navajo police officers Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon), Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), and Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) investigating violent crimes in the 1970s Southwest. Season 4 takes them to Los Angeles for the first time, hunting a missing girl while facing off against a chilling assassin played by Franka Potente. The season holds a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score — praised as the most intense yet. Executive produced by George R.R. Martin and Robert Redford, it's prestige television at its finest.

Memento (Netflix)

Arriving on Netflix today is Christopher Nolan's mind-bending masterpiece. Memento stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a man with short-term memory loss hunting his wife's killer using Polaroids and tattoos. Told in reverse chronological order, it's one of the most inventive thrillers ever made. A perfect rewatch or first-time experience.

Minions & Monsters (In Theaters)

If you're looking for a family outing or just want to laugh, Illumination's Minions & Monsters is the top choice at the box office this weekend. With a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes — the best-reviewed film in the entire Despicable Me/Minions franchise — it's earning praise as "smarter, wilder and funnier than the seventh entry in any animated franchise has a right to be." Pierre Coffin returns to direct, and the monster-themed adventure is a great pick for winding down the holiday with the whole family.

Elle Season 1 (Prime Video)

Prime Video's big July debut is the Legally Blonde prequel series fans have been waiting for. Elle takes us back to 1995, following a young Elle Woods through high school as she navigates tricky friendships, forbidden romance, and questionable fashion choices — all before Harvard Law. Early buzz suggests it captures the spirit of the original films while carving its own identity. All episodes dropped on July 1, so you can binge the whole season tonight.

The announcement came with a first-look teaser, and the series is shaping up to be one of the year's biggest streaming events. More details coming as we get closer to the release.
