Lucky (Apple TV) looks poised to be one of the biggest streaming debuts of the week. With Anya Taylor-Joy leading an all-star cast that includes Annette Bening and Timothy Olyphant, this globe-trotting thriller kicks off with two episodes and plenty of twists right out of the gate.

Reality TV fans have no shortage of options either. The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On returns with another group of couples willing to test their relationships under some very public pressure. If past seasons are any indication, emotions will be running high from the very first episode.

Tonight's Big Brother is another must-watch as the houseguests battle for the season's first Golden Power of Veto. Early competitions often set the tone for the weeks ahead, making this one especially important for anyone following the game.

Sports fans can also tune into the 2026 ESPYS, where the year's biggest athletic achievements will be recognized in a celebration hosted by Saturday Night Live favorite Marcello Hernández.

Meanwhile, if you're looking for something completely new, FOX's Nation's Dumbest, Freeform's Million Dollar Nannies, and HGTV's Worst Yard on the Block all make their series debuts tonight, giving viewers several fresh options across comedy, reality, and home renovation.

Final Take

From prestige streaming premieres and superhero adventures to reality competitions and awards shows, July 15 offers one of the most varied TV lineups of the week. Whether you're settling in for a late-night binge with Lucky or watching the drama unfold live on Big Brother, there's no shortage of entertainment waiting for you.
