Looking for something fresh after a long Monday? The OTT releases this week, running from July 13 to July 19, 2026, cover true crime, action-comedy, romance, fantasy, reality television, and regional cinema. Prime Video opens the week with Murder 101, while Netflix, JioHotstar, Apple TV+, and ZEE5 spread their biggest arrivals across the following days.
The crowded schedule includes Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham racing across Europe in Ride or Die, Vadde Naveen returning in Transfer Trimurthulu, and Nick and Charlie reaching their final screen chapter in Heartstopper Forever. There is also a new Jay Shetty video series, a Will Ferrell golf comedy, and Anya Taylor-Joy’s latest crime thriller.
Why Murder 101 And Ride Or Die Lead The Week
Murder 101 begins streaming on Prime Video on July 13. The three-part true-crime docuseries follows Tennessee teacher Alex Campbell and his sociology students as they revisit the Redhead Murders, a group of unsolved cases once reported across the American South. The project grew from a classroom assignment into a serious investigation that revived attention around overlooked evidence and forgotten victims. Prime Video’s official information page confirms the July 13 launch.
Ride or Die arrives on Prime Video on July 15 with a very different kind of danger. Octavia Spencer plays Debbie, whose quiet life collapses when she learns that her longtime friend Judith, played by Hannah Waddingham, is an international assassin. One failed mission sends them into a frantic European chase involving killers, police officers, and stolen money. Prime Video teased the release through its official Ride or Die X post, calling it the ride of a lifetime.

Netflix Packs The Weekend With Finales, Fantasy, and Familiar Faces

On Purpose With Jay Shetty makes its video-streaming debut on July 13, bringing celebrity conversations from the popular podcast to television. Hot Ones: Extra Heat follows on July 14, with Sean Evans taking his spicy interview format outside the regular studio. The first instalment features Will Ferrell, Fortune Feimster, and Jimmy Tatro.
The Hawk lands on July 16 and gives Ferrell his first lead role in a television comedy series. He plays Lonnie Hawkins, a former world-number-one golfer who refuses to accept that his best years have passed. The show pairs comeback ambition with family rivalry because Lonnie’s son has become the sport’s rising star.
July 17 brings Netflix’s emotional and international-heavy finish. Heartstopper Forever closes Nick and Charlie’s love story as university plans raise the prospect of distance. Netflix has also announced an official companion podcast for the finale. Viewers can check the streamer’s Heartstopper Forever release update before watching.
The same day adds Korean fantasy drama The East Palace, German rescue drama 23,000 Lives, Spanish adaptation The Map Of Longing, and relationship thriller Desire. This spread gives the weekend a wider mix than the usual crime-and-comedy-led streaming line-up.
Transfer Trimurthulu Adds A Strong Telugu Pick
Transfer Trimurthulu premieres on ZEE5 on July 17. Vadde Naveen plays an honest constable whose refusal to bend has led to 55 transfers in ten years. His latest posting takes him to Araku, where an old assault case involving a tribal woman points towards powerful political figures. The film blends investigation, action, and political conflict, giving Telugu viewers a major regional option.
ZEE5 Telugu shared the date through its official Transfer Trimurthulu Instagram announcement. The release is especially notable because it marks Vadde Naveen’s return after a long screen absence. Rashi Singh, Shilpa Tulaskar, and Raghu Babu also feature in the cast.
JioHotstar strengthens the South Indian slate with Second Love, a Tamil dating reality show hosted by Ramya Krishnan and Shrutika Arjun. It follows contestants carrying difficult romantic histories.
