JULY 14 – HBO Max’s FBOY ISLAND *Season 2 Premiere*
- Season 2 of the Max Original reality dating series FBOY ISLAND, hosted by comedian and actress Nikki Glaser, debuts Thursday, July 14 with the first three episodes. Filmed earlier this year in Cabo San Lucas, Season 2 of FBOY ISLAND follows three new women, Mia Emani Jones, Louise Barnard, and Tamaris Sepulveda, who move to the tropical paradise, and are joined by 26 men – 13 self-proclaimed “Nice Guys” looking for love, and 13 self-proclaimed “FBoys,” there to compete for cold, hard cash. Meanwhile, the women navigate the dating pool together with the hope of finding a lasting love connection. By the finale, all will be revealed: who is a Nice Guy, who is an FBoy, who the women ultimately choose, and who walks away with the prize money. The eight-episode season continues with three new episodes streaming July 21, leading up to the finale on July 28.
JULY 15 – HBO’s THE REHEARSAL *Series Premiere*
- Nathan Fielder (NATHAN FOR YOU, HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON) returns to television with a new series that explores the lengths one man will go to reduce the uncertainties of everyday life. With a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources, Fielder allows ordinary people to prepare for life’s biggest moments by “rehearsing” them in carefully crafted simulations of his own design. When a single misstep could shatter your entire world, why leave life to chance? The six-episode comedy series premieres Friday, July 15 at 11 p.m. ET, with subsequent episodes dropping Fridays.
JULY 16 – HBO’s NIKKI GLASER: GOOD CLEAN FILTH *Special Premiere*
- Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser showcases her shockingly honest style of comedy in her first hour-long HBO comedy special, NIKKI GLASER: GOOD CLEAN FILTH, debuting Saturday, July 16 at 10 p.m. ET. Taped in 2021 at the Paramount Theatre in Denver, Colorado in front of a sold-out crowd, Glaser takes on a range of topics in her brutally honest yet conversational style. Whether she’s dishing about sex, outlining the dos and don’ts of dating (and how to trick someone into marriage), or oversharing about her (not-so-private) parts, Glaser delivers an hour of unapologetic and no-holds-barred comedy.
JULY 19 – LOVE ISLAND USA *Season 4 Premiere*
- The sizzling summer series, based on the international smash hit and cultural phenomenon, returns for Season 4 on Tuesday, July 19 at 9 p.m. ET. The matchmaking begins as a group of single “Islanders” come together in a stunning villa, ready to embark on a summer of dating, romance, and ultimately, relationships. Every few days the Islanders pair up and those who are not coupled are at risk of being dumped from the island. In addition to choosing their partners wisely, Islanders must also win the hearts of viewers who have the opportunity to shape events on screen, and ultimately crown one lucky couple the winner who will then have the chance to walk away with both love, and the cash prize. New episodes of LOVE ISLAND USA drop every Tuesday-Friday, and Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on Crave, CTV.ca, and the CTV app.
