As we enter the second half of the year, the entertainment scene is coming in hot, with a slate of exciting releases all queued up and ready to go. If you’re wondering what to stream this July, from a high-stakes sci-fi epic to a sun-soaked teen drama, it seems as though every fan favourite series is returning this month, and the first on our list is, of course, Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty. With Belly choosing Jeremiah last season and sending all the Bonrad fans reeling, there is one question on everyone’s mind: Who will be Belly’s final choice? Breakout stars Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno are all set to reprise their roles as they navigate the highs and lows in this beach town love triangle.
Next up: the return of the Foundation.

In its third season, the narrative unfolds 152 years into the future, where the Foundation and the crumbling Empire must unite forces to take down the psychic warlord Mule and save the universe.
