The week of July 8 is a week of almost-endings across the TV landscape. We’ve got penultimate episodes for The Acolyte, Evil, and The Boys, setting up big finales. Plus, you can check out a moving new documentary and the return of two Millennial icons! Here’s what to watch for your best viewing schedule during the week of July 8.
Tuesday, July 9: The Acolyte Episode 7
Have you caught your breath yet from last week’s creepily-seductive installment? The week of July 8 brings us to the penultimate episode of The Acolyte‘s season. What really happened on Brendok? What is Sol hiding? Who is Qimir’s former master? Will Osha (or Mae) change sides? Hopefully we’ll dig deeper into these answers soon!
Streaming on Disney+, 9 pm ET/6 pm PT
Wednesday, July 10: Quad Gods
The week of July 8 features some great new documentaries! This one centers on a group of gamers who create world’s first-ever, fully quadriplegic e-sports team. The documentary traces their history from their origins all the way up to competing against (and beating) some of the best gamers in the world.
Streaming on Max, 3 am ET/12 am PT
Thursday, July 11: Vikings: Valhalla Season 3
The third and final season of the historical drama lands on the week of July 8. As Leif, Harald, and Freydís make the decisions that will take them from people to legends, they’ll also encounter new faces and challenges. Goran Višnjić joins the cast as Erik the Red, Leif and Freydís’s famed father.

Thursday, July 11: Evil Episode 8
The fourth season of Evil is hurtling towards the end. The week of July 8 is the last before the (originally-planned) season finale, but fear not! A “mini” Season 5, consisting of four bonus episodes to wrap it all up, will be here in just a couple of weeks. Details for Episode 8 have stayed under wraps, so heaven (or hell) only knows what awaits…
Streaming on Paramount+, 3 am ET/12 am PT
Thursday, July 11: The Boys Episode 7
Season 4 has been the most overtly political (and terrifying) yet. With Homelander strengthening his grip on power — in the most horrific of ways — it’s a chilling moment with echoes that hit a little too close to the real world. The Boys has one more episode this season, then a fifth and final season to see where this pointed comic-book satire winds up.
Streaming on Amazon Prime Video, 3 am ET/12 am PT
Friday, July 12: Descendants: Rise of Red
The latest entry in Disney’s villain-kid movie franchise follows a classic formula. Red, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe, daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming, must team up on a time-travel adventure to stop villainy before it starts. Let’s be honest, though: Millennials will tune in to see Brandy and Paolo Montalban‘s Cinderella and King Christopher “Charming” again after all these years!
Streaming on Disney+, 3 am ET/12 am PT
Sunday, July 14: House of the Dragon Episode 5
Another week, another shocking (and increasingly devastating) adventure in Westeros. After last week’s action-packed episode, the stakes are piling up, and no one is safe. War is brutal, and it’s only going to get more so. We’re well past the point of reconciliation — so what now?
Airing on HBO and streaming on Max, 9 pm ET/6 pm PT (check local HBO listings)
