Centre Court To Centre Frame : All OTT Shows And Movies To Watch In July

June passed like a ghost in daylight—barely felt, rarely held. One minute it was Virgo moons and mango peels, the next, we’re wading knee-deep through rainwater and the slow existential melt of monsoon afternoons. We’ve now edged one breath closer to autumn, and though the leaves won’t be turning rust just yet, something in the air already feels transitional.

Limbo season, if you will, when the rain hits the window like it's trying to tap out Morse code, and you have no choice but to stay in and stream. (Also, the perfect time to sit under a comfy blanket with a hot cuppa)

But while the rain outside isn’t exactly evergreen (it’s giving more mildew than Monet), the content we queue up can be. This July, our screens are blessed with offerings that feel designed for this in-between moment; stories you want to wrap around you like your SO’s hoodie, or swing like a racket at your seasonal ennui. From moody thrillers to the comeback of comfort watches, the month's slate has something for every flavour of couch-bound malaise.

And then there’s Wimbledon—graceful, high-stakes chaos that for sure will keep us glued to our screens if not any other content with its forehands and backhands and perfectly coiled dramas in sweaty polo shirts.
