This Week in TV

Furious, Diarra, and Fightland Give Late July a Crime-TV Core

Hulu, Paramount+, and Starz lead a crime-heavy week, while Batman returns for a Prime Video binge and Lioness sets up Sunday night.

Week of 2026-07-27
Late July is not quiet, but it is more focused than flashy: crime stories, returning favorites, and a few franchise-adjacent swings carry the week. Here are the TV premieres and catch-ups most worth having on your radar from July 27 to August 2.

New This Week

Hulu opens the week with a three-episode launch for this cat-and-mouse crime thriller starring Emmy Rossum as an FBI agent chasing a serial killer across New York. If you want one new scripted series to sample early, this is the cleanest Monday entry point.

Diarra from DetroitParamount+BET+

Diarra Kilpatrick's mystery comedy returns Wednesday on Paramount+ with two episodes, then weekly drops into September. The new season keeps the show's Detroit treasure-hunt energy, sending Diarra from a simple furniture pickup into another spiraling case.

Weekend Premieres

Prime Video brings Batman: Caped Crusader back Friday with a full Season 2 binge. It is the week's strongest franchise animation play, especially if you want something more self-contained than the big superhero universes usually allow.

Starz premieres 50 Cent's new boxing-crime drama Friday night. Howard Charles plays a former champion coming home after prison and heading straight into revenge mode, with Nicholas Pinnock and Deborah Ayorinde in the ensemble.

LionessParamount+

Paramount+ closes the week Sunday with Season 3 of Taylor Sheridan's spy thriller. Zoe Saldaña's return gives the calendar a bigger-brand watch-ahead after several smaller late-July launches.

In Case You Missed It

President CurtisMaxAdult Swim

Adult Swim launched the first Rick and Morty spinoff on Sunday, July 26, with Keith David leading the new animated series and episodes streaming next day on HBO Max. It missed last week's issue, but it is too relevant to adult-animation fans to skip entirely.

Show details

Paramount+'s three-part documentary about the real Jordan Belfort story premiered July 14 with all episodes available at launch. Last week's issue missed it, and it is still a strong recent catch-up for true-crime and Wall Street movie fans.

That is the week: crime stories up front, animation for the binge queue, and a couple of recent misses worth circling back to before August gets louder.
