Once it wraps up, Netflix will drop the debut episode of "Hot Ones: Extra Heat," which brings the successful YouTube series to the streaming service. And for the reality show fans out there, "The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On" season 4 arrives on July 15 and brings plenty of drama with it.
Those aren't the only movies, shows and live events to add to your watchlist this week, though.

New on Netflix this week: Top picks
'The Hawk'
Genre: Comedy series
What it's about: Will Ferrell stars in this new series as Lonnie "Hawk" Hawkins. He was the best golfer in the world in 2004, but two decades later, he's attempting to turn things around from washed-up legend to upstart contender. The goal? Winning the final, elusive major that he needs to complete the career Grand Slam.
Why you should watch it: Based on the trailer, "The Hawk" looks fun. If you like Ferrell's brand of humor, specifically his sports comedies like "Talladega Nights," then you'll likely enjoy this new Netflix series. It doesn't hurt that the cast includes Molly Shannon and Luke Wilson, either.
Watch "The Hawk" on Netflix starting July 16
MLB Home Run Derby 2026
Genre: Live sports event
What it's about: The Home Run Derby pits some of Major League Baseball's best long-ball hitters in a three-round contest of dingers at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park.
Why you should watch it: The MLB All-Star game itself might often disappoint, but the Home Run Derby rarely does. It's loaded with drama as some of the best hitters in the game unload homer after homer. The only catch? As of this writing, we only know two of the contestants: Junior Caminero (Tampa Bay Rays) and Ben Rice (New York Yankees).
Watch the MLB Home Run Derby 2026 live on Netflix starting at 8 p.m. ET on July 13
'The Hunger Games'
Genre: Dystopian action movie
What it's about: Every year, Panem engages in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death between 24 kids aged 12-18. These youths are "tributes," and they fight in this televised battle royale until only one survivor remains. In this 74th edition of the Games, District 12 has sent Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) to compete, but it remains to be seen if either of them will survive.
Why you should watch it: Based on a beloved novel series, this 2012 dystopian flick launched a massive film franchise. Once you're done with this first film, you can stream the next four movies so you're caught up in time for "Sunrise on the Reaping," which is set to arrive in theaters this fall.
Watch "The Hunger Games" on Netflix starting July 14
'Hot Ones: Extra Heat'
Genre: Interview series
What it's about: "Hot Ones" is the show with "hot questions and even hotter wings." In it, celebrities, actors, musicians, etc., run through a series of progressively hotter wings until they get to the final wing: "The Last Dab." The entire time, they're answering questions as best they can, but sometimes, the heat is too much to bear.
Why you should watch it: "Hot Ones: Extra Heat" is essentially the same "Hot Ones" you get on YouTube. But instead of a studio show, this series of 30-minute specials heads out to the location of major Netflix events. The first special will feature Will Ferrell, Fortune Feimster, and Jimmy Tatro, stars of "The Hawk," and will drop on Netflix following the 2026 MLB Home Run Derby.
Watch "Hot Ones: Extra Heat" on Netflix starting July 13, after the MLB Home Run Derby
'The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On' season 4
Genre: Reality dating series
What it's about: In "The Ultimatum," six couples enter the show in serious relationships, with at least one person hoping to take the final steps towards the altar. After splitting up and entering a trial marriage with a new partner, they'll be forced to decide who — if anyone — they want to spend the rest of their life with.
Why you should watch it: In season 4, "The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On" heads to Las Vegas to bring six couples into the show. They all come from a range of backgrounds, and each relationship has its own wrinkles. But in the end, they'll need to decide if it's time to live happily ever after, regardless of the unique qualities of their coupling.

The hit Netflix series returns for Season 3 to give viewers exclusive, unprecedented access to four quarterbacks across the 2025 NFL season, pulling back the curtain on the grind, glory, and grit that define one of the game’s toughest jobs, on and off the field. This year, cameras go behind the scenes with Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders), fresh off a highly anticipated start to his career as he enters Year 2 looking to build on his dual-threat potential and cement himself as the face of the franchise. Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) returns after stabilizing Tampa Bay’s offense and, with his fiery personality still front and center, aims to prove he can keep the Bucs in contention. Cam Ward (Tennessee Titans) steps into the spotlight as the No. 1 overall pick and one of the league’s most intriguing young quarterbacks, fighting to establish himself.
