With temperatures soaring and summer at its peak, why not avoid the heat by settling down with some of this month’s best streaming fare?

Start with Project Hail Mary, where an amnesiac science teacher turns into Earth's last hope, battling a mysterious cosmic threat. Or if you prefer to embrace the flames, dive into Avatar: Fire and Ash, where the Na'vi face off against a new tribe of fire-worshippers.

For something more visceral, try Ready or Not 2 and its sister-against-sister mayhem, or They Will Kill You, with its over-the-top action and gory delights. Or if cerebral pursuits are more your style, Archive and the dystopian The Long Walk offer a stark contrast to the summer heat.

No matter which you choose, remember: good luck, have fun—don’t die!
