Monday Streaming: Wicked: For Good, KOTH S15 & More — Jul 20

Monday is here, and if you spent the weekend recovering from the World Cup final — Spain's hard-fought 1-0 victory over Argentina — you've got some excellent new streaming options to ease into the week. July 20 brings an unusually strong Monday slate, led by one of the biggest Broadway adaptations ever made landing on Netflix and one of the most anticipated animated revivals returning on Hulu.

Wicked: For Good Arrives on Netflix

The headliner today is Wicked: For Good, Jon M. Chu's spectacular second installment of the Wicked saga. Starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, the film picks up where Part One left off — Elphaba living in exile after refusing to bow to the Wizard's corrupt regime, forced to make things right with the friend she left behind if she's to save all of Oz.

The musical epic earned $342.8 million at the domestic box office following its November 2025 theatrical release. It holds a 66% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes with a 93% audience rating — the classic critics-versus-audience divide that often signals a genuinely crowd-pleasing experience. Critics have praised Erivo and Grande's vocal performances, with the "Defying Gravity" reprise in the opening act and the devastating title song landing as standout moments. If you caught Part One on Netflix last year, For Good delivers the emotional payoff you've been waiting for.

King of the Hill Season 15 Returns on Hulu

Today's other major release is King of the Hill Season 15 on Hulu, with all 10 episodes dropping at once. The show's second revival season picks up with Hank and Peggy settling into retirement life on Rainey Street while Bobby navigates the growing pains of being a young entrepreneur. Early reviews are glowing — ComicBook.com calls it "proof that Hulu's revival is only getting better," and ButWhyTho gave it a 9/10, noting it "doesn't skip a beat." The full original voice cast returns: Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, and Stephen Root. For anyone who grew up on this show — or discovered it through streaming — this is appointment viewing.

Weekend Standouts

If the World Cup final or summer heat kept you away from streaming this weekend, there's a strong backlog to dig into. Friday brought Enola Holmes 3 on Netflix alongside the sweet and bittersweet Heartstopper Forever. They Fight landed on Hulu as a sharp genre thriller. Saturday's Spooky in Love on Netflix offered a lighthearted supernatural rom-com option. And Sunday's big drop, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 on Netflix, continues the beloved spinoff's run through post-apocalyptic France with Norman Reedus. They're all still streaming — the weekend hasn't moved on without you.

Also Streaming Today

Sesame Street Classics brings 20 vintage episodes to Netflix — a deep vault dive for anyone who grew up on the Street or needs quality kids' programming. Over on Max, Naked and Afraid: Global Showdown Season 1 premieres, pitting survival teams from four countries against each other in South Africa's Zululand with a $200,000 prize on the line. And Hulu rounds things out with Beyblade X Season 2 for anime and action fans.

Coming This Week

The rest of the week is packed. Tuesday brings Bill Maher: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and WWE: Unreal Season 3 on Netflix. Wednesday serves up The Taste Test Season 1 on Netflix. Thursday sees Ransom Canyon Season 2 return to Netflix alongside Kaulitz & Kaulitz Season 3. And Friday is a big finish — Kevin Hart in 72 Hours, the entire Scream trilogy, and docuseries The Truthers all land on Netflix.

What to Watch First

Start with Wicked: For Good for a proper cinematic event at home — it demands a big screen and good speakers. Then lighten the mood with King of the Hill Season 15, which pairs perfectly as a grounded, hilarious counter to Oz's spectacle. And if you've got little ones in the house, Sesame Street Classics is a no-brainer for today's viewing.
