From horror films to 90s sitcoms and true crime documentaries, Now TV has got your entertainment needs covered in July.
Summer has well and truly arrived, along with an impending heatwave. With lockdown restrictions easing, most of us will no doubt be spending a lot more time relaxing or taking exercise outdoors. But we still need plenty of entertainment to get stuck into on an evening. After all, it’s not like we’ll be able to head to the pub for sunset spritzes with our pals for a while yet.
Cue: Now TV’s July offerings.
The streaming service has shared the new TV series, documentaries and films available to watch from 1 July. And there really is something for everyone: Disney fans will be happy to see Frozen 2 on the list, true crime addicts will become obsessed with Killer in my Village, and everyone will be talking about Winona Ryder’s new drama series.
Let’s take a proper look at what’s coming our way…
