The iconic 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street saw Hollywood turn Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his band of boiler-room brokers at Stratton Oakmont into the face of 1990s excess. The Real Wolf of Wall Street tells an even darker and more debauched account of Belfort’s meteoric rise, his stunning fall, and those he left stranded in his wake.
The three-part original documentary features never-before-seen footage, thousands of internal FBI documents, and archival interviews that include insights from Jordan’s former wife, Nadine, whose dreams of a fairytale life turned toxic fast. Also included are first-hand accounts from former members of Belfort’s inner circle.
The Real Wolf of Wall Street premieres July 14.
Summer Adventure is the name of the game in season two of Diarra from Detroit. As the school year ends, Diarra (Diarra Kilpatrick) and crew are itching to let loose, enjoy the sunshine, and put last year’s winter events behind them. However, when Diarra and Chris (Shannon Wallace, City on a Hill) set out on a simple furniture-recovery mission that entangles them in the center of a grizzly crime, Diarra is left desperately trying to solve a new case before it derails her entire life.
She’ll be dragging her friends back down the rabbit hole into Detroit’s criminal underbelly, where she’ll have to go undercover with a secret society, star in a Tubi movie, wrangle a troubled teenager, and generally tear up the city on a wild treasure-hunting adventure in a way that only Captain Extra could. Viewers can also expect old flames to heat up with romance and unexpected complications.
Diarra from Detroit season 2 will see a double-episode premiere July 29. New episodes will roll out weekly through September 9.
Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) and Sasha Calle (DC’s The Flash) star in Wardriver, a high-tech, white-knuckle crime thriller from Rebecca Thomas (Electrick Children). The 2026 movie boasts a 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, so you know it’s got to be good.
The story follows a brilliant digital thief who gets coerced into a million-dollar cyberheist. He then accidentally exposes a massive mob money-laundering scheme. Before he can blink, things have spiraled into a deadly game of cyber cat-and-mouse where his survival depends on outsmarting a ruthless black-market predator and where every line of code could be his last.
Wardriver makes its streaming debut July 8.

As their journey to strange new worlds continues in this penultimate season, the captain and his crew will battle inner demons and external threats, encounter colorful new characters, reunite with familiar faces, and confront terrifying aliens. Through it all, though, they strive to embrace a bright, hopeful future together.
