My Top 16 Choices for July TV

We are nearly halfway through 2019. Summer just got underway, officially, as of this past Friday. And, San Diego Comic Con will be happening in a few weeks. Can you believe it?!

As I’ve been doing every month, I’m looking forward to what will be airing on TV next month with my top 16 choices for July:

MOVIE SAP, TABLE FOR ONE

Yes, I’ll freely admit it. I’m a big sap where Hallmark movies (and the like) are concerned, and there are more of the same coming next month, including the following:

In the Key of Love on July 1 at 9 PM

Photographer Maggie (Laura Osnes) learns her ex-boyfriend/ex-singing partner (Scott Michael Foster) is in the wedding she is working. Tensions run high until they sing together, remembering how good they were as a duo.

Love Unleashed on July 6 at 9 PM

While hosting a puppy party, Hailey (Jen Lilley) meets single father Ryan (Christopher Russell). She helps him discover the value of adopting a dog, and teaches him that there’s more to life, especially when falling in love.

A Merry Christmas Match on July 13 at 8 PM

The movie will follow Corey (Ashley Newbrough) who lives in a ski village, works at her mom’s antique shop and puts together a Christmas pageant for kids in honor of her late father. When a man named Ryder (Kyle Dean Massey) visits the store, Corey wonders if she should have left town and followed her dreams of becoming a theater director.

Rome in Love on July 27 at 9 PM

When an unknown actress (Italia Ricci) lands the role of a lifetime in Rome she paired with an American journalist (Peter Porte) writing a profile, she will discover surprises about love and life in the eternal city.

UP TV gets in on the sappy action too with the following:

A Very Country Wedding on July 6 at 7 PM

Based on a Harlequin novel, country singer Zane (Greyston Holt) and fiancée Jeannette’s (Bea Santos) wedding is interrupted by the last leg of a contractually obligated tour, leading them on a roundabout journey back to one another. After a video of Zane saving a female fan goes viral, Zane finally becomes the country music superstar he’s always dreamed of being. Jeannette is happy and supportive, but after he misses their new wedding date, she begins to worry his dreams may no longer have room for her.

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK

There are a handful of new dramas set to debut in July:

Pandora on The CW on July 9 at 8 PM

This sci-fi action series is set in the year 2199, centering on a resourceful young woman who has lost everything but finds a new life at Earth’s Space Training Academy where she and her friends learn to defend the Galaxy from threats, both alien and human. When secrets about the nature of her own identity begin to surface, she must uncover the truth, and whether she will be humanity’s savior or the instrument of its destruction.

The Disappearance on WGN America on July 9 at 10 PM

This 6-part summer event series centers around the unexplained and sudden disappearance of a 10-year-old boy, and the investigation that leaves a devastating and unforeseen impact on every member of the family.

Another Life on Netflix on July 25

The series centers on astronaut Niko Breckinridge (Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica) who is focused on searching for alien intelligence. As she leads a young crew on a mission to explore the genesis of an alien artifact, they face unimaginable danger on what might very well be a one-way mission. Selma Blair will play Harper Glass, a 21st-century influencer who uses journalism, social media and keen intelligence in an attempt to break one of the biggest stories in human history.

Bulletproof on The CW on July 28 at 8 PM

The action-thriller follows two undercover cops, Bishop (Noel Clarke from Doctor Who) and Pike as they chase down hardened criminals in London’s East End. Despite their differences, Bishop and Pike work brilliantly together even when the chemistry between them looks set to explode.

Pennyworth on EPIX on July 28 at 9 PM

The 10-episode drama is based on Alfred Pennyworth [the future legendary butler extraordinaire of Bruce Wayne], a former British SAS soldier in his 20s, who forms a security company and goes to work with a young billionaire Thomas Wayne, who’s not yet Bruce’s father, in 1960s London.

AVENGERS UNITE

Frank Grillo and Anthony Mackie may have been at odds in Captain America but they are working side-by-side in the new Netflix original movie Point Blank on July 12.

WE USED TO BE FRIENDS…AND WE STILL ARE

The much anticipated fourth season of Veronica Mars will debut on Hulu on July 26

After Mars Investigations – Veronica and dad Keith – is hired by the family of one of the victims to find their son’s killer, Veronica is drawn into an epic eight-episode mystery that pits the enclave’s wealthy elites, who would rather put an end to the month-long bacchanalia, against a working class that relies on the cash influx that comes with being the West Coast’s answer to Daytona Beach.
