The shows to stream this week include two major returns and a prequel for a beloved character.<\/p>\n

The week of a holiday typically does not lead to a bunch of top-tier releases in the TV space, but for the Fourth of July we\u2019re being given a bounty of strong streaming options. <\/p>\n

Two great returning sci-fi series \u2013 \u201cX-Men \u201997\u201d and \u201cSilo\u201d \u2013 are back for anticipated new seasons while \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d is getting a prequel series on Prime Video that focuses on Elle Woods\u2019 high school life before Harvard.<\/p>\n

All that and more in our roundup below of the four shows to stream this holiday week.<\/p>\n

\"x-men-97-season-2-wolverine-marvel\"\u201cX-Men 97\u201d Season 2 (Marvel)<\/p>\n

X-Men \u201997<\/p>\n

\u201cX-Men \u201997\u201d returns from an acclaimed debut season for a sophomore outing on Wednesday. The animated send-up to the beloved Fox series from the \u201990s looks to continue the emotional storytelling that made the first season stand out so much compared to the other Marvel shows Disney+ had been putting out at the time.<\/p>\n

Apocalypse has arrived, and it\u2019s going to take some hopping through time for the mutant team to take on the threat. With movies like \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d and \u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d on the horizon for the MCU this year, there are still plenty marking \u201cX-Men \u201997\u201d as their most anticipated Marvel release in 2026.<\/p>\n

The Prime Video series premieres on Wednesday and stars Lexi Minetree as the title character previously made famous by Reese Witherspoon. Long before her time attending Harvard Law, Elle was navigating the equally terrifying waters of high school.<\/p>\n

The story begins with Elle navigating a major move from Bel-Air to Seattle, where she enters a new high school and finds herself an outsider among a very different social scene. Along the way, she deals with complicated friendships, romance, family dynamics and the challenge of staying true to herself while figuring out who she wants to become. Witherspoon produces via her Hello Sunshine banner. <\/p>\n
