9 Best TV shows to Binge watch this July
Summer’s heating up, and your couch is calling. July 2025 is packed with fresh drops, thrilling returns, and a few wildcards perfect for binge-watching with the AC blasting and snacks within reach. Whether you’re into high-stakes drama, action-packed thrillers, or fantasy worlds that make reality look dull, this month’s streaming lineup has something for every kind of viewer.
Here’s a creative rundown of 9 TV shows you absolutely need to binge this July:
1. The Bear – Season 4
Where to Watch: FX on Hulu
Carmy’s back in the kitchen, and this time, the pressure is michelin-star high. Season 4 dropped all 10 episodes on June 25, and it’s the perfect blend of chaos, heart, and culinary gold. Expect meltdowns, makeups, and maybe even a win.
2. Smoke
Where to Watch: Apple TV+
Premiered June 27, this slow-burn thriller starring Jurnee Smollett and Taron Egerton is about fire—literally. With arson, secrets, and smoldering chemistry, it’s ideal for fans of crime dramas with a twist. Two new episodes every Friday keep the flame alive.
3. Countdown
Where to Watch: Prime Video
If adrenaline is your love language, Countdown is speaking directly to your soul. Starring Jensen Ackles (yes, that one), this military-thriller launched with a triple-episode premiere and is now rolling out weekly. Explosions, conspiracies, and plenty of muscle.
4. Squid Game – Season 3
Where to Watch: Netflix
The survival game no one can stop watching is back—and bloodier. Dropping June 27, Season 3 raises the stakes and the body count. If you thought you knew what was coming… think again. This isn’t a game. It’s a revolution.
5. The Sandman – Season 2
Where to Watch: Netflix
Neil Gaiman’s dreamworld is back, and it’s even more haunting. Season 2 arrives in parts: July 3, July 24, and a bonus episode on July 31. If poetic fantasy, rich lore, and dark aesthetics are your vibe, your July is about to be beautifully strange.
6. Hitmakers
Where to Watch: Netflix
Dropping July 24, this music-docuseries goes behind the scenes of the modern music machine, with stars like John Legend and BLACKPINK’s Lisa leading the charge. Watch if you love the making-of more than the main event—and want the next hit before it’s a TikTok sound.
7. The Summer I Turned Pretty – Season 3
Where to Watch: Prime Video
Premiering July 16, Belly’s final summer is here. Will it be Jeremiah, Conrad… or self-love? Whether you’re a diehard fan or just into sun-soaked heartbreaks, this YA drama will have you reaching for tissues and group-chatting theories.
8. Shark Week 2025
Where to Watch: Discovery
It’s not a show—it’s a movement. From July 20 to 26, enjoy a week of toothy predators, daring stunts, and underwater adventures. New titles like Dancing with Sharks and Air Jaws bring high-flying nature thrills right to your screen.
9. The Sandman (again!)
Yes, it’s that good—and because it’s releasing in parts, you’ll be bingeing it twice this month. Don’t fight it.
