TV THIS WEEK: 'Fear Street' and 'The Tomorrow War' premiere; new Loki and The Flash; 'Alien' on SYFY & more

It's the week leading into the Fourth of July holiday, which means we're relatively light on big genre TV fare — but absolutely loaded when it comes to new movies hitting streaming. From horror to sci-fi action, let's dig in!

The big story this week, which should make for some nice long weekend streaming: Netflix's Fear Street film trilogy drops its first installment with Fear Street: 1994 and Amazon Prime launches its sci-fi original Chris Pratt vehicle The Tomorrow War. They're two movies that were originally destined for the big screen, and now they're kicking off Independence Day weekend on streaming — the fallout from the 2020 box office chaos continues. But hey, we're getting some big new movies, so we're not complaining.

Digging a bit deeper, Disney+ has a new Loki (the fourth installment of a six-episode run) that picks up after Loki has gotten to know his murderous variant; and a new episode of The Flash, which finds an army of Godspeeds attacking Central City. SYFY has a mini marathon of the Alien franchise dropping on Friday, anchored by true classics Alien and Aliens. if you're looking for something festive, NBC has the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular live on Sunday night.

Check out the full rundown below and let us know what you'll be watching.
