Get ready to be hooked by the gripping new drama 'Furious', which explodes onto Disney+ on Monday 27 July, promising a fresh take on the detective thriller genre that will leave you gasping for air. This explosive series, created by Elizabeth Meriwether of 'New Girl' fame, throws convention out the window with its bold decision to pit a serial killer against an FBI agent, both women carrying the scars of domestic violence in their pasts. The result is a thrilling narrative that blurs genre lines and challenges your sympathies at every turn.
'Furious' stars Lola Petticrew as the chillingly manipulative killer, whose ice-cool brutality has drawn comparisons to Villanelle from 'Killing Eve', while Emmy Rossum brings raw intensity to her portrayal of FBI agent Alice Black - setting the stage for a heart-stopping showdown between these two complex characters. With its gripping plot and willingness to delve into the darkest recesses of its protagonists' minds, this series promises a thought-provoking viewing experience that will leave you questioning everything.
But if it's emotional resonance rather than thrills you're after, then 'Heartstopper: Ending on a Hi' is the perfect prescription. This heartwarming spin-off documentary, available now on Netflix, comes as the film 'Heartstopper Forever' brings the popular series to a close. Featuring insights from creator Alice Oseman and the show's talented cast, alongside contributions from the dedicated fanbase, this special aims to capture the significant impact of 'Heartstopper' on its viewers and broader culture - an unforgettable finale for fans of this beloved LGBTQ+ romance.
And if you're in need of a lighter pick-me-up, Apple TV has just the ticket with 'Snoopy Presents: There’s No Place Like Home', arriving from Friday 31 July. This special episode sees Charlie Brown's iconic beagle, Snoopy, facing heartbreak when his beloved kennel is accidentally sold at a yard sale - prompting a hilarious and emotional journey as he attempts to retrieve it. With its blend of smart humour and poignant moments, this animated treat promises to put a smile back on your face.
But that's not all - Prime Video brings the drama with 'The Curse of Love Island' from Sunday 26 July, a thought-provoking series that examines the mental health risks faced by reality TV stars and raises tough questions about duty of care in the wake of past tragedies. Netflix also adds to its roster with Mary Beth Barone's stand-up special from Tuesday 28 July, offering witty observations on various topics, and 'The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare' from Wednesday 29 July, a three-part documentary that explores the tragic 2022 murders of four students - made with the victims' families and friends.
