Premieres of the month
Gladiators in Rome
In July viewers will be able to immerse themselves in the world of ancient Rome with the epic peplum "Those About To Die". Created by "Saving Private Ryan" writer Robert Rodat and starring Anthony Hopkins and Ivan Rheon, the series will reveal the secrets of the corrupt world of 2nd century gladiatorial combat. Different layers of society will gather in the arena, where blood and sweat will decide their destinies.
Journalistic investigation
Natalie Portman will play the main role in the detective series "Lady in the Lake" (Lady in the Lake), based on the novel. The action takes place in Baltimore in the 1960s, where housewife Maddy leaves her family and becomes an investigative journalist. She will have to unravel the tangled mysteries of the murders of a young girl and a bartender.
Temporal Adventures
From the creators of What We Do in the Shadows, Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, comes Time Bandits, a new series based on the iconic 1981 film. Kevin, an 11-year-old nerd, accidentally joins a group of time-traveling outlaws and plunges into crazy adventures with them.
Mexican law enforcement officers
The series "Women in Blue" (Women In Blue) will tell about four female police officers in Mexico, who struggle with conservative norms and a serial killer. At first, the creation of a female police force seemed to be just a publicity stunt, but the heroines will prove their professionalism.

What interesting series are announced for July! 🎬 "Those who will soon die" is especially attractive with the epic atmosphere of ancient Rome. Gladiators, corruption, intrigue - in my opinion, this will be an exciting series. 🗡️
Ганс
I'm more interested in Women in Blue - it could be a really strong story about overcoming gender stereotypes in a conservative society. 👮♀️ It will be interesting to see how they open up about this topic.
Франсуа
And I am very intrigued by "Lady in the Lake" with Natalie Portman. 🕵️♀️ A detective story in the atmosphere of the 1960s and a talented actress - a great combination for an exciting series. It's worth watching!

Can't wait for Sunny on Apple TV+! 🤖 The concept of a robot helping to investigate disappearances sounds very original. I wonder how they will reveal this story.
Гжегож
I'd rather wait with interest for Taika Waititi's Time Bandits. 🕰️ His handwriting is always very creative and exciting. Time travel, robbers and, probably, a lot of humor - this could be a real hit of the season!
Валєра
Wow, all these stories about crimes, murders and historical dramas... 😒 Absolutely not to my taste. I believe that all these trends and series about social problems are a senseless waste of time. It is better to take a walk in the fresh air or read a good book. 📚

Valero, how can you say that! 😲 Series are not only entertainment, but also a way to raise current topics and show different points of view. The Women in Blue, for example, can be an important story for many people. 💪
Марія
I absolutely agree with you, Sonya! Each series is interesting in its own way and can touch on important issues. For example, the same "Those who will soon die" with corruption and cruelty can be an allegory for modern problems in society. 🤔 We must be open to new ideas and views!
