Winter is settling in, and it’s time to give yourself in to the streaming gods: Whether you worship Netflix, Stan, Binge, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video or our free-to-air channels, you’re covered this July.

One of the most anticipated drops (for positive and negative reasons) will be the recreation of iconic 2010s series Gossip Girl.

We will get the first episode on July 8, but fans will no doubt already be praying the last episode is better than its predecessor’s finale.

Stan (as well as showing Wimbledon on its new sport service) is bringing on the podcast-inspired series Dr Death, which will come to us the same day as the US.

It’s far from a new series, but SBS is leaning into the 1990s fever and bringing us UK drama This Life (July 1). Straight outta the generation, it follows five young lawyers living in a sharehouse as they navigate the start of ‘real life’.

Netflix is reasonably quiet, the most notable of its contributions to couch potato life the utterly bizarre Sexy Beasts, which you may have accidentally seen moons ago on late-night TV.

It’s a dating show that premises itself in dressing up contestants in weird and terrifying masks and sending them on a first date. Set to unnerve from July 21.

When Hope Calls – Stan, July 23

If you’ve ever wished corny Christmas movies existed all year around, fill your boots with this one.

A spin-off from a Canadian original, When Hope Calls reunites two orphan sisters who were separated as young children.

As adults, they open an orphanage of their own in a small US country town. Wholesome.
