July's 10 Most Anticipated TV Premieres

July's 10 Most Anticipated TV Premieres

From HBO's 'Sharp Objects' to Hulu's 'Castle Rock," here are the 10 must-see new and returning shows.

Breaking through in a Peak TV world of more than 500 scripted originals is a challenging task. That's why top showrunners and stars continue to be in high demand as broadcast, cable and streaming platforms look to cut through the cluttered landscape with familiar faces. Spinoffs and reboots are also in high demand, as most come with a preexisting viewership that reduces costs associated with marketing and promotion.

Here, in a bid to navigate the Peak TV waters, THR picks the 10 most anticipated new and returning shows every month. (Bookmark THR's handy guide for key premiere — and series finale — dates.) Here are some of the can't-miss premieres for July.
