As the summer heats up, so does the competition on streaming platforms with a fresh wave of highly anticipated shows and movies dropping this weekend. From reality romance reunions to serial killer revivals and epic sci-fi showdowns, viewers are in for an exciting lineup across Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV+, and more.
Premiering Sunday, July 13, Love Island: Beyond The Villa reunites fan favorites from Season 6 of Love Island USA — including JaNa, Serena, Leah, and Kaylor — as they swap tropical beaches for Los Angeles hustle. The new Peacock original takes the drama off the island and into the real world, capturing life, love, and career twists in a post-show setting. With Season 7 of Love Island USA wrapping up this weekend, the timing is perfect for fans looking to stay connected to their favorite Islanders.
Just when you thought Dexter Morgan was gone for good, Michael C. Hall returns in Dexter: Resurrection, a chilling sequel to Dexter: New Blood. Premiering Friday, July 11, the series brings back the Bay Harbor Butcher in a shocking twist — Dexter survived and is back to navigate a darker, deadlier path. Set after the events of his apparent death at the hands of his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), the new season explores themes of identity, revenge, and moral reckoning. With a two-episode premiere, fans are in for a suspense-filled binge.
Also releasing this Friday, July 11, Foundation Season 3 lands on Apple TV+, picking up the galaxy-spanning narrative based on Isaac Asimov’s iconic works. Set 152 years after the fall of the empire, the new season introduces a formidable new antagonist — The Mule, played by Troy Kotsur — who threatens the fragile balance of the universe. Returning stars Jared Harris, Lee Pace, and Lou Llobell are joined by newcomers like Cherry Jones and Cody Fern in what promises to be one of the most ambitious sci-fi series of the year.
