Sci Fi TV Premieres for July 2025: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S3, The Sandman S2, The Institute, and More

Sci Fi TV Premieres: Here is a rundown of all the new and returning sci fi and fantasy TV shows that will have a premiere in July 2025. This information is based on premieres announced at the time of this posting (though check back for updates) and will include trailers if available. Note that premiere dates and times can change with little or no notice.

There are six premieres of sci fi/fantasy television shows currently on the schedule for July 2025. That is down by three from the same month last year, but don’t be surprised if another entry or two joins the list by the end of the month seeing as the streaming services love to put premieres out there with little to no notice. And July does bring some big ones with the return of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds for its third season along with Foundation, The Sandman, and Twisted Metal all coming back for new seasons. Among the new entries are the Stephen King series The Institute from MGM+ and the steampunk anime Leviathan from Netflix.  Be sure to stay tuned to CancelledSciFi.com for premiere and scheduling info and also to track the status of your favorite genre entries.
