Series July 2023: "Futurama" On Disney+, "Little Faith" On Movistar Plus+ And Other Premieres

With the arrival of July, the television completely goes into summer mode. The platforms and chains are noticeably easing the usual frenzy of releases in the coming weeks and it will be a good time to catch up on titles that were pending in the previous months. Despite this, Spanish bets will arrive in July, like the new series from the creators of Camera Café and the sexual revolution portrayed from fiction by the writer Noemí Casquet. The space projects of Bender, Fry and Co. are also returning and the new series by Steven Soderbergh is celebrating its premiere.
