7 top new shows to stream this week on Netflix, Apple TV and more (July 7-13)
The TV landscape heats up with a fresh lineup of new shows premiering on Netflix, Apple TV Plus and other streaming services, as well as on broadcast and cable TV. Whether you're craving a crime drama, a space opera or reality TV, this week's lineup has something for everyone. Spinoffs are everywhere, with the sequel series "Dexter: Resurrection' bringing back the dark and twisted world of the infamous serial killer, "Ballard" expanding the world of "Bosch" and "Bachelor in Paradise" season 10 upping the beachside drama with "Golden" cast members. Plus, "Foundation' season 3 continues to unfold its epic saga of survival and rebellion. And a new Netflix rom-com, "Too Much," explores the messiness of new love. Here are our top picks for new TV shows to watch this week. The reality dating spinoff hits the big 10 this summer and celebrates by soaking up the sun in a new locale: Costa Rica. Jesse Palmer is back as host, Wells Adams is still mixing drinks behind the bar, and Hannah Brown joins in the role of 'Paradise Relations.' This season promises fresh drama thanks to a new twist: For the first time ever, fan favorites from 'The Golden Bachelor' and 'Golden Bachelorette' are hitting the beach alongside the usual twentysomethings. Hey, age is nothing but a number. Drama transcends generations. Episode 1 premieres Monday, July 7 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC (via Sling or Fubo) and next day on Hulu Maggie Q steps into the 'Bosch' universe int his spinoff as Detective Renée Ballard, leading the LAPD's scrappy cold case unit with grit and empathy. When a string of long-forgotten murders — including a John Doe tied to a serial killer — points to a deeper conspiracy inside the department, Ballard digs in. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. She has help from none other than Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), who brings his own history to the case. Fans of Michael Connelly's books will find plenty to savor in this dark L.A. crime drama. All 10 episodes premiere Wednesday, July 9 at 3 a.m. ET on Prime Video The Gang is back for more hijinks and questionable choices in season 17. Things kick off with the second part of the 'Abbott Elementary' crossover, which sees Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Dee, and Frank volunteering (read: ruining) at the school. They're also joining the corporate rat race, shamelessly chasing money and power with absolutely zero dignity. Two decades in, the Paddy's Pub misfits are even more absurd and ridiculous than ever. And that's very comforting. Episode 1-2 premiere Wednesday, July 9 at 9 p.m. ET on FXX (via Sling or Fubo) and next day on Hulu This isn't your picture-perfect Notting Hill fantasy; it's the version with bad decisions, hangovers, and a meet-cute in a grimy pub bathroom. Created by Lena Dunham and Luis Felber, this romantic comedy knows that the course of true love never runs smooth. 'Hacks' standout Megan Stalter plays Jessica, a burned-out New Yorker who runs to London to brood like a Brontë sister after blowing up her life. There she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), a scruffy musician who's a blaring red flag factory yet completely irresistible. All 10 episodes premiere Thursday, July 10 at 3 a.m. ET on Netflix 'Foundation' returns to continue doing the impossible: turning Isaac Asimov's famously dense, cerebral sci-fi into absorbing TV. Season 3 doubles down on its reputation among fans as 'Game of Thrones' in space — minus the dragons, plus a telepathic warlord. Set 152 years after season 2, the new episodes find the Empire in shambles, Lee Pace's cloned emperor losing his grip, and Jared Harris's Hari Seldon still predicting doom with unsettling accuracy. Enter the Mule (Pilou Asbæk), a mind-controlling warlord ready to topple everything. Episode 1 premieres Friday, July 11 at 12 a.m. ET on Apple TV Plus Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) just can't stay dead — even when his own son shoots him. In the second sequel series after 'New Blood,' our favorite blood-spatter expert wakes from a coma to find Harrison gone without a trace. He heads to New York City to find his son and make amends, but Miami Metro's Angel Batista (David Zayas) is hard on his tail with questions he really doesn't want to answer. Hall is joined by a stacked cast, including Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage, for another foray into darkness. The past won't stay buried and there will be blood. Episodes 1-2 premiere Friday, July 11 at 3 a.m. ET on Paramount Plus Premium Stephen King's 'The Institute' is no bedtime story. It's a horror show where kids are snatched from their beds and locked in a facility where psychic powers mean torture in the name of science. When teenage genius Luke Ellis (Joe Freeman) is kidnapped, he wakes up in a nightmare perpetrated by the chilling Ms. Sigsby (Mary Louise Parker), the Institute's cruel tormentor. Meanwhile, in town, ex-cop Tim Jamieson (Ben Barnes) is trying to mind his own business … until he's pushed to look into the shadowy facility. Think 'Stranger Things' but even more terrifying. Episode 1 premieres Sunday, July 13 at 9 p.m. ET on MGM Plus

Lena Dunham on fatphobia, dating advice and her new London rom-com
Lena Dunham is almost synonymous with New York City. The US actress, writer and director rose to fame with her award-winning semi-autobiographical series Girls, which followed four 20-something women as they navigated love, life and friendship in the Big Apple. But her latest project - a Netflix rom-com loosely based on her life over the last few years - is set on the other side of the Atlantic. Too Much follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), who moves from New York to London after breaking up with her boyfriend, and falls in love with punk musician Felix (Will Sharpe). Just as Dunham did when she moved to London in 2021, Jessica quickly learns the important things about the UK: everybody loves Paddington, the Jaffa Cake debate is highly contentious (it's definitely a biscuit) and a "housing estate" isn't the sprawling gardens of a lavish manor house. Dunham tells the BBC that while Too Much has "superficial similarities" to her life and is "about 5% autobiographical", she didn't see herself ever playing the show's protagonist in the way she did in Girls. "I didn't consider Jessica to be me - she's inspired by my life but is her own character and was written with Megan in mind," she says. Megan Stalter says Girls "was all about sex and Too Much is about falling in love", which is a similar to how Dunham sees the show. There was also another reason she chose to step away from the spotlight. While filming Girls, in her 20s, Dunham's body was heavily scrutinised and last year, she told the New Yorker she "was not up for having my body dissected again". She explains that body shaming was part of the reason she stepped further behind the camera. "Just being perceived was overwhelming," she says. Dunham has spent the past few years focusing on writing projects that don't centre her as an actor. She believes society has made some strides towards being more body positive, but says the culture we live in is still "so deeply fatphobic, misogynistic, racist and ageist and that informs our dynamic with our body". The 39-year-old has been vocal about challenges she's faced with her health, particularly her endometriosis, which led her to have a hysterectomy aged 31. Asked how her relationship with her body has changed since then, she says she's developed a new love for how she looks. "I've been able to have a relationship with my body that exists outside of the cultural pressures and I feel lucky for that." As well as reflecting on how her self image has changed, Dunham also says she's learned a lot since her 20s. Having been in the spotlight for more than decade, the actress has had her fair share of controversies. In 2017, she defended Girls writer Murray Miller when he was accused of sexual assault. Dunham later apologised, saying it was "absolutely the wrong time" to share her perspective. Miller vehemently denied the claims and was not charged. She also apologised for a "distasteful joke" she had made on a podcast saying she wished she'd experienced a termination when discussing the US abortion. "I thought, back then, it was important to just keep going and be tough no matter what happened," she reflects. "I was so focused on work and not letting any of the noise in but I wish I had allowed myself to take more time and space. We all have to acknowledge our own complexities and sensitivities but it's hard to wrap your head around that when you're in your 20s." Dunham's new 10-episode series stars Hacks actor Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe, best known for playing Ethan Spiller in The White Lotus and films such as A Real Pain. Sharpe, 38, says he relates to the challenges his character faces, as "everyone carries baggage from their previous relationship" and feels vulnerable when they enter a new one. Stalter relates to her character too. The 34-year-old says she often "felt like she was too much" in her 20s but with time, has come to be proud of her who she is. Written with Dunham's husband, musician Luis Felber, Too Much focuses on the evolution of one romantic relationship. It's refreshing in its realness - from serious conversations between Jessica and Felix to the fact Jessica's media salary stretches to a housing estate in east London rather than a Bridget Jones-esque flat in Borough Market. I ask Dunham if she has any dating tips for women in their 20s, given she's been through the rollercoaster of trying to find a life partner. She says the concept of dating has changed over the years, and back in the late noughties, it was "considered a last resort or a strange thing to meet someone online". Looking back, Dunham wishes she would have allowed herself to understand what she really wanted rather than just seeing the cultural expectations that were placed on her. "If I was letting myself understand my own desire, my 20s would have looked really different romantically." Too Much is released on Netflix on 10 July.
