GoKawiilPrime Video's collection of old and new movies and TV shows is second to none, and it's constantly growing and evolving. Add to that a solid mix of interesting, genre-spanning original content that ranges from anime to blockbuster comedies to live sports, and the platform proves it really does have something for everyone.
On July 1, the month begins with the highly anticipated arrival of Elle, the Legally Blonde prequel that shows what high school was like for Elle Woods. Lexi Minetree assumes the role that Reese Witherspoon originated in the films. Also arriving on the platform this month is the crime comedy Ride or Die, a series about two best friends (Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer) whose bond is shaken when one learns the other is an assassin. Also out this month are the new true crime docuseries Murder 101 and a new season of Batman: Caped Crusader, and Prime Video is the new streaming home of Gilmore Girls, too.
