Tubi’s July 2025 programming slate is so impressive, Watch With Us is seriously considering canceling all of our other streaming subscriptions.
We’re kidding, of course, but not about the quality of what Tubi will bring to everyone’s screens this month.
From Oscar-winning classics like Amadeus with F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce and Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright to genre gems like the Final Destination movies and Under the Silver Lake with Andrew Garfield, Tubi has enough great content to please anyone.

HBO Max is a little light on new show releases in July 2025, but some of our favorite series will be releasing new episodes throughout the month.
If you’re a crime or period drama fan, you should definitely be keeping up with Duster.
Meanwhile, romantic comedy lovers are watching — or in some cases, hate-watching — And Just Like That.
But if you’re in the mood to revisit a classic (or watch it for the first time), Watch With Us is recommending one HBO series that’s about to become super relevant again in July.
Josh Holloway (Lost) and Rachel Hilson (The Good Wife, Love, Victor) star in this explosive 1970s period piece about Nina Hayes, a Black female FBI agent, and her quest to bring down crime kingpin Ezra Saxton (Keith David). Hayes teams up with Saxton’s driver, Jim Ellis (Holloway), whose beloved Plymouth Duster gives the show its name and becomes a character unto itself.
Lost creator J.J. Abrams created Duster with Into the Badlands writer LaToya Morgan. As Ellis, Holloway is just as captivating as when he played Sawyer on that now legendary ABC mystery series. His chemistry with Hilson is engaging and propulsive, and the combination of great writing and action with a groovy ‘70s look makes Duster irresistible. The season 1 finale airs July 3.
If light and breezy is your thing, And Just Like That might be the perfect show for you. The sequel series to Sex and the City stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis as Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte, respectively. Nothing can ever truly make up for the loss of Kim Cattrall’s Samantha, but And Just Like That does its best to capture the fun, fluffy tone of the original series as well as the over-the-top fashion choices.
Some viewers of the show are more like hate-watchers than actual fans, but we still can’t resist tuning in every week. Even if you don’t like the show, it’s pretty darn fun to text your friends and say “Miranda would never have done that in the original series!” each week. The season 3 finale airs July 31.
Somewhere between Duster and And Just Like That lies Girls, which is a bit more substantive in its social commentary than AJLT while remaining firmly in the comedy genre. We’re recommending Girls for July because the series creator and star, Lena Dunham, has a new romantic comedy series coming to Netflix on July 10 called Too Much.
If you’re psyched to see Dunham’s new work, now is the perfect time to refresh your memory about what made Girls so great. (Clever writing, bold storytelling and great casting are a few of the show’s attributes.) Time will tell if Too Much will live up to its predecessor, but the NYC adventures of Hannah (Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and Shoshana (Zosia Mamet) are totally timeless.
Here at Us Weekly, we’ll forever love a celebrity style moment — but when it involves a handbag? We’re looking up receipts instantly.

Katy Perry got emotional on Monday, June 30, as she wrapped the Australian leg of her Lifetimes Tour amid her split from Orlando Bloom.
“Thank you for always being there for me, Australia. It means the world,” a teary-eyed Perry, 40, told the audience at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, South Australia, as she made a heart symbol with her hands.
“Now let’s sing ‘Firework!’” Perry then said, seguing into one of her signature hits to close the show, per fan footage shared via social media.
Perry spent the majority of June in Australia on her Lifetimes Tour, first performing in Sydney on June 4 before traveling across the country, including dates in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. She performed four nights in Adelaide to wrap the Australian leg of the tour.
Perry is next set to perform on home soil as she returns to the U.S. for a July 10 show in Denver.
While Down Under, news broke that Perry and Bloom, 48, have called it quits after nearly a decade together. The couple share a daughter, Daisy Dove, 4.
“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” a source told UsWeekly on Wednesday, June 25. “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”
The source added that the separation had been a “long time coming” and that things between the former couple had been “tense for months.”
Earlier in June, insiders told Us that the couple had been on the rocks for some time.
“They have been spending more and more time apart. They’ve grown apart and aren’t living the same lives anymore,” one insider said, while another said their inner circle was aware they were going through a difficult time in their relationship.
While Perry was performing in Australia, Bloom attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s glamorous wedding in Venice over the weekend.
On Monday, Bloom shared a motivational quote about courage and fear via his Instagram Story amid his split from Perry.
“The important thing is to take that first step.” the actor wrote, crediting Buddhist author Daisaku Ikeda for the quote. “Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.”
Bloom also posted a similarly inspiring quote from the Buddha, which read, “Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters the most.”
If Hulu is your streaming service of choice, you have plenty to look forward to when it comes to fun and engaging television series this summer.
Whether you’re turning up the heat in the kitchen on The Bear or fantasizing about the summer compound of your dreams on Beach Hunters, the platform has plenty of options.
Check out Watch With Us’ selections for must-watch Hulu shows that are perfect to stream in the summer. They’re all available to view now.
Nothing says summer like a freshly grilled burger, and the Belcher family knows burgers — even if they don’t know much else. Patriarch and grill master Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and his enthusiastic wife, Linda (John Roberts), run a burger joint with their three kids Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman) and Louise (Kristen Schaal).
This sweet animated sitcom has become a beloved classic for many reasons, but the relationships within the family are what truly bring the flavors together. Bob’s Burgers is a perfect summer show — light, breezy and colorful with a heaping side of heart.
Like Bob’s Burgers, The Bear also takes place in a restaurant. The kitchen setting is pretty much the only thing those two shows share, but The Bear is also a beloved hit that you should definitely watch this summer. (The fourth season premiered on June 25.)
Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a gourmet chef, returns to his hometown of Chicago after his brother’s (Jon Bernthal) death and attempts to turn the family’s greasy sandwich shop into a fine dining establishment. The ragtag crew of restaurant employees includes everyone’s scrappy “cousin” Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), talented sous chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), acerbic line cook Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas) and many more colorful characters. It’s a pressure cooker of a show, full of tension and high stakes, but it’s also a story about family, community and the way food brings people together.
Toby Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg) is a newly single divorced father in New York City, who’s preparing to spend his summer sleeping his way through dating apps whenever his two kids are with their mother, Rachel (Claire Danes). One hitch in this plan? Rachel never arrives to pick the kids up.
As the pressure on Toby increases and Rachel’s absence stretches on throughout the summer, Toby and his two best friends (Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody) are forced to examine their lives and their relationships. This Hulu limited series packs a serious punch, sizzling with the heat of a Manhattan sidewalk in July. The cast is excellent, and the twists are unexpected. Fleishman Is in Trouble is a fascinating examination of upper-middle-class parenthood and the expectations that come with it.
Do you dream of a saltbox cottage on Cape Cod? Or perhaps a modern manse in Malibu? No matter what your dream beach house looks like, the Beach Hunters team is going to help you find it. In this House Hunters spinoff, families seek out their ideal vacation (or year-round) home that’s within their budget but still checks off all the boxes they need.
For real estate fans, it’s the perfect way to spend a rainy summer day (or a day when all you want is air conditioning.) Ocean breezes meet backsplashes and built-ins. Feeling relaxed yet?
Loath as we are to admit it, summer always comes to an end. But if you want to get excited about going back to school (literally or metaphorically), watch Abbott Elementary. This mockumentary series from writer Quinta Brunson (who also stars as second-grade teacher Janine Teagues) is about a hardworking and lovable group of teachers who spend each day at their under-funded elementary school trying to create the best place for their kids to learn.
Janine is alternately helped and hindered by principal Ava Colman (Janelle James) an outrageous and self-centered hustler who’s hiding a heart of gold, as well as her fellow teachers Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph), Melissa Schemmenti (Leslie Ann Walter), Jacob Hill (Chris Perfetti) and Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams). It’s a warmhearted and inspirational sitcom that will make you laugh and cry.
No one nails laid-back luxury quite like Gisele Bündchen. The supermodel is frequently spotted in loose, flowy staples (think: wide-leg linen pants, billowy blouses and matching sets that say “off-duty chic”). It’s giving “I just stepped off a yacht in Saint-Tropez” energy — but the good news? You don’t need a supermodel budget to steal her style.
We found 13 breezy pieces that totally channel Gisele’s sun-soaked aesthetic for a fraction of the price. From linen-blend trousers that feel as light as air to two-piece sets made for golden hour, these Amazon finds are relaxed, polished and well under $50.
Gisele Bündchen-Inspired Summer Staples on Amazon

2. Laid-Back Linen: These breezy drawstring pants are made for hot days when you still want to look put-together. The wide-leg cut is ultra comfy while the linen-blend fabric adds an elevated vacation feel.
3. Billowy Beauty: Airy, oversized and practically begging to be paired with sunnies and slicked-back hair, this button-down blouse is what we imagine Gisele would wear while sipping an iced matcha on the Amalfi coast.
4. Crop It Like It’s Hot: These under-$30 straight-leg pants are easy, breezy and made to move. They feel like the upgraded version of your favorite sweats thanks to the side button detailing. And bonus? The elastic waistband means no digging or pinching.
5. Smocked & Breezy: With a flattering smocked waistband and deep pockets, these flowy palazzo pants nail Gisele’s relaxed-but-refined energy.
6. Matching Mood: A lightweight button-front top and matching shorts = instant outfit. This under-$40 colorful set looks equally great with flip-flops or sleek leather sandals and screams “summer capsule wardrobe.”
7. Modern Muse:This elevated outfit set channels easy elegance with its billowy wide-leg bottoms and matching square-neck shirt. Bonus: It looks just as good styled with slides as it does with chunky sneakers.
8. Elevated Tee: This batwing-sleeve top brings unexpected polish to your go-to basic tee. It’s casual, but with a supermodel-approved twist.
9. Soft and Sculpted: With subtle pleats, three-quarter-length sleeves and a relaxed silhouette, this $11 blouse is a quiet standout. It’s the kind of piece that looks just as pretty tucked into trousers as it does loose over shorts.
10. Boho Blouse Energy: Delicate embroidery and soft draping give this breezy tank a slightly bohemian vibe for just $10. Pair with linen pants and tousled hair for that sun-drenched, barefoot-on-the-beach feeling.
11. Shirred & Chic:This sleeveless blouse features a softly shirred neckline and a breezy shape that flatters without clinging — making it an ideal pick for summer heat and last-minute plans alike.
12. Breezy Balance: This matching linen set gives serious designer vibes for under $50. It’s a ‘fit practically pulled straight of Gisele’s Instagram!
13. Laid-Back Luxe: A new twist on classic stripes? Yes, please. This chic striped set takes loungewear to new heights with its boxy tank and drawstring shorts. Add gold hoops and sleek sandals for effortless style.
They say less is more, and that’s never more true than at Apple TV+. The streamer doesn’t have a lot of programming, but what it does have is impressive.
Apple TV+’s July 2025 slate of shows and movies includes holdovers from last month, like the excellent Taron Egerton arson mystery, Smoke, and the historical drama, The Buccaneers.
The big premiere this month is Foundation season 3, the hit adaptation of Isaac Asimov‘s sci-fi epic novel. With an impressive ensemble led by Lee Pace, it’s a space opera that can legitimately be labeled as “far out” without any hint of irony.
Hulu is adding a slew of new titles in July 2025. With all those new movies and TV shows, the streamer needs to make room in its library every month, and July is no exception.
Fortunately for you, the majority of the departing content won’t be missed much. They’re mostly B-horror movies that we at Watch With Us have never even heard of.
There is one exception, though — Old Man, a spooky thriller about a lonely man (Avatar‘s Stephen Lang) living in the woods who is more dangerous than he looks.
Country singer Gavin Adcock is not a fan of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter.
Adcock, 26, had choice words about the Grammy-winning album during a recent live show, decrying Beyoncé being ahead of his own record on the Apple Music country albums chart.
“One of them’s Beyoncé … you can tell her we’re coming for her f***ing ass,” he said, referring to the chart, per footage shared via social media on Monday, June 30.
He continued: “That s*** ain’t country music, it ain’t ever been country music and it ain’t gonna be country music.”
Adcock doubled down in a video shared via X on Monday, saying, “I’mma go ahead and clear this up. When I was a little kid, my mama was blasting some Beyoncé in the car. I’ve heard a ton of Beyoncé songs. Actually remember her Super Bowl halftime show being pretty kick-ass back in the day.”
“But I really don’t believe that her album should be labeled as country music,” the singer continued. “It doesn’t sound country, it doesn’t feel country, and I don’t think that people who have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and lifestyle should have to compete or watch that album just stay at the top because she’s Beyoncé.”

While Adcock may not be a fan, Cowboy Carter topped the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart and became the first album by a Black woman to top the Billboard country albums chart.
Beyoncé, 43, was also praised for spotlighting Black country artists such as Shaboozey, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts on the album, as well as honoring Black pioneers of country music, including Linda Martell.
The Houston-born singer has previously opened up about her own country roots, which have influenced her music.
“I grew up going to the Houston rodeo every year. It was this amazing diverse and multicultural experience where there was something for every member of the family, including great performances, Houston-style fried Snickers, and fried turkey legs,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2021.
At the time, Beyoncé also reflected on how the contributions of Black people to country and rodeo culture were often overlooked.
During her research for her Ivy Park rodeo-inspired clothing line, she said, “One of my inspirations came from the overlooked history of the American Black cowboy.”
The singer added, “Many of them were originally called cowhands, who experienced great discrimination and were often forced to work with the worst, most temperamental horses. They took their talents and formed the Soul Circuit. Through time, these Black rodeos showcased incredible performers and helped us reclaim our place in western history and culture.”

While appearing in ABC News Studios’ The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup, Savannah, 27, revealed that she was looking forward to living the “carefree life of a 28-year-old” following Todd and JulieChrisley‘s release from prison.
Savannah had lived in her mom and dad’s Nashville home for more than two years while they were incarcerated in separate prisons. President Donald Trumppardoned the pair in late May, and called Savannah to deliver the news when she was out running errands.
One month post-pardons, Savannah told ABC that she was “moving into a condo,” despite her family asking her, “Aren’t you gonna miss a house?”
She remarked, “I’m not gonna miss landscapers, I’m not gonna miss pool people,” to which Todd, 56, who also participated in the Sunday, June 29, interview, added, “I have learned that a house is not a priority to her. … Maintenance is not a priority to her.”
“No, I was raising kids,” Savannah said in her defense, referencing how she took care of her younger brother, Grayson Chrisley, 19, as well as Chloe Chrisley, 12, whom Todd and Julie adopted in 2016. (Chloe is the daughter of Kyle Chrisley, Todd’s son from a previous marriage.)
Savannah laughed as she described her dad’s reaction to seeing the home for the first time in years.
“He comes in and is critiquing everything in the house,” she said. “I was literally fighting for y’all for two and a half years and raising kids, I think the floors are fine.”
In June 2022, Todd and Julie, 52, were convicted on federal charges of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy. Todd was sentenced to 12 years behind bars while Julie was given seven years. (Both have maintained their innocence.)
Without her parents by her side, Savannah had a hard time holding down the fort.
“People comment and will say, like, ‘Oh, I feel so sorry for you, living off of mom and daddy’s stolen money,'” she said in a 2024 episode of her “Unlocked” podcast. “And ‘You’re rich, it’s easy, stop trying to act like it’s so hard.'”
She continued, “I struggled. Like, I know what it feels like to not know how you’re going to pay your bills that month. ‘Cause I was left with three mortgages, and the lawyers, and kids.”
During the special, which started streaming on Hulu Tuesday, July 1, host Nick Viall surprised the cast — and Us — when he told attendees Jen Affleck, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Taylor Frankie Paul, Layla Taylor and Miranda McWhorter that after several of the wives auditioned for the show, two of them were chosen.
First, Jen, 26, who is pregnant with baby No. 3 while filming the reunion, got the news that she would be competing for the mirrorball trophy in the fall. A plot twist revealed Whitney, 32, was also picked for season 34.
MomTok and DadTok— a.k.a Conner Leavitt, Zac Affleck, Jordan Ngatikaura, Dakota Mortensen, Jace Terry and Jacob Neely — were there to congratulate the costars, who will be competing against each other. ABC has previously confirmed that TikToker Alix Earle and Steve Irwin‘s son Robert Irwin were taking part in the next season, but the rest of the celeb competitors have yet to be confirmed.
Before the news, DWTS pro Val Chmerkovskiy exclusively told Us Weekly how he has very high expectations when it comes to potential celebrity contestants after the show “went viral” on social media.
“When I think of a partner, I just want somebody that — after being on the show for 20 seasons now — I just want somebody that’s excited to be there,” Chmerkovskiy, 39, shared in April. “I’ve seen a lot of really incredible people and I’ve worked with a lot of really talented dynamic people. But it is from that excitement that I’m really inspired and now you have me really going the distance for you.”
DWTS’ resurgence in popularity has been in large part because of social media. While judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli and their scores play a role — so do votes from fans. During season 33, DWTS broke a long-standing tradition by releasing viewer vote totals.
ABC told Deadline in October 2024 that there were more than 14 million fan votes received for the episode where Anna Delvey and partner Ezra Sosa as well as Tori Spelling and her partner, Pasha Pashkov, got eliminated on live TV.
“The record number of votes that week suggests to me that a lot of our audience are very passionate about a lot of our stars this year, and the increased ratings year or year would suggest that it is the case,” DWTS executive producer Conrad Green told Deadline. “At core, as always, the cast is what defines the season.”
Green continued: “This group of stars are really likable, talented and love being on the show — and that passion for what they’re doing really comes through on live TV. There’s real dance talent across the cast and lot of unique stories as well as so much potential in the couples to grow as performers.”
“Also, Dancing with the Stars is a really positive show at a time when the world is feeling pretty bleak, so there’s a certain escapism and sense of community that comes with watching which helps remind us of what we have in common as Americans,” Green continued. “We’ve also been on air long enough now that a new generation of viewers are watching with their kids and the popularity of the show on social apps like TikTok has exploded and introduced new viewers.”
Executive producer Ryan O’Dowd recently slammed claims that manipulated votes played a role in the show’s achievements.
“We take that very seriously. We have never, nor would we ever do anything to manipulate the votes,” O’Dowd told Deadline in May about how the show “really needs to be” credible. “It needs to allow the viewers to have a voice and to really be the voice of who deserves to win. So we have never nor would we ever want to manipulate that in any way.”

The beloved Friends star took to Instagram on Monday, June 30, and shared a series of cozy snapshots with her friends and canine companions.
“Happy Monday ,” Aniston, 56, captioned the post.
The first photo features the actress hanging out with her adorable dog Lord Chesterfield, whom she rescued in 2020. Other snaps include Aniston kissing pal Sean Hayes on the cheek, and snuggling up against longtime bestie Courteney Cox. She is also shown spending time with friends Kristin Hahn and Andrea Bendewald as well as Clyde, her Schnauzer mix.
Aniston remains an A-lister in a world where increasingly anyone and everyone can achieve 15 minutes of fame, yet she rarely opens up about her personal life. On Instagram, she tends to keep things professional, whether she’s posting ads for SmartWater (she’s a celeb spokesperson) or her LolaVie hair care line, or delighting the Friends fandom with a nostalgic video. In May, Aniston announced the air date for The Morning Show’s fourth season, where she reprises her role as broadcast journalist Alex Levy.
“We’re baaa-aaack September 17 ,” she posted alongside a photo of costars Reese Witherspoon, Karen Pittman and Marion Cotillard.
Earlier this year, she had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in HBO’s The Last of Us, which featured Ellie (Bella Ramsey) flipping through an aughts-era People magazine with Aniston on the cover. The headline: “Jennifer’s sexy nights.”
“Of all things to survive the apocalypse,” Aniston quipped in an Instagram Story in April.
She and Pedro Pascal, who stars on The Last of Us, are good friends.
“I would do anything for Jennifer,” Pascal, 50, told Extra in March, when asked about a potential cameo in The Morning Show, an AppleTV+ production.
“She is that person [who is good in a crisis],” Pascal revealed. “The best way that I could describe it is I remember, if you’re in a party setting and you make eye contact with Jen, she just knows exactly what’s going on with you and knows exactly how to make you feel.”
The actor joked that if “you’re really high at a party” and in danger of freaking out, Aniston will be there to help calm you down.
“Make eye contact with Jen Aniston and she’ll calm your central nervous system,” he added. “You’ll be like, ‘Oh no, everything’s fine. I’m safe.’”

The definition is in the name: jeans plus shorts equals ‘jorts.’ Sadly, they’ve had a bad reputation for being the opposite of stylish, as they’re a less-common length and are typically quite baggy. Like it or not, though, jorts are experiencing a resurgence. Don’t count them out just yet, because their comeback might win you over.
It may surprise you to know that there are so many different jorts designs. Come on, you can’t eliminate the category from your wardrobe without at least giving them a chance! Many of your favorite retailers have hopped on the jorts trend, so now it’s really not hard to find a denim pair that works with your style. We focused on jorts that are under $50, so that gives you another reason to step outside your summer wardrobe comfort zone.
17 Baggy Jean Shorts Under $50
1. Our Favorite: These are a classic pair of jorts that fall right to the knee and come in four washes. The mid-rise fit is comfortable even on hot summer days.
2. Inclusive Sizing: With a nine-inch inseam, these Old Navy jorts hit right above the knee and go up to a size 30 so more people can rock the look.
3. Fabulous Fit: For a bit more of a fitted look, this modern take on jorts come in six washes, including white, so you’ll feel comfortable stepping into the new style.
4. Loose and Long: The 14-inch inseam and baggy fit make these high-rise Target jorts the epitome of what the style is all about.
5. Cool Crossover: Crossover jeans are in right now, and you can merge that trend with shorts with these to-the-knee crossover jorts. Channel your Y2K fashionista with a pair that cinches you in at the waist and flares out for a loose look.
6. More Fitted: A new trend can be super intimidating, so try this under-$30 pair that has a more fitted design so you can test the length change first.
7. Cool Girl: If Urban Outfitters sell jorts, you know they’re cool. This mid-rise pair has a cutoff hem and are made of 100% cotton, so you know the quality is there.
8. Must-See Cargos: Jorts, but make them cargos. This Cotton On pair fall past the knee, almost making them a capri-like length, and feature large side pockets.
9. Throwback Style: We love that these classic jean shorts look like something our moms wore back in the day. Pair them with a tighter-fitting top, and they’ll feel like new again!
10. Boxy Pick: These vintage-looking jorts have a boxy, more slouchy fit. They’re a mid-rise option that was designed to hold its shape even after many wears.
11. Jean Cargos: If you’re looking for a pair of jorts that aren’t the typical kind, these cargo-style ones have six pockets for a cool look. They’re made of 97% cotton and 3% spandex for a bit of stretch.
12. Light and Bright: Kohl’s has light-wash jorts with a traditional five-pocket design. The nine-inch inseam pair were made to sit below the natural waist.
13. Affordable Find: At just $23, these knee-length jorts allow you to try the trend without breaking the bank. Plus, you have your choice of five washes.
14. Prominent Pockets: Unlike the typical slanted front pockets you’ll find on jorts, this high-rise pair has the same style on the back and front for a little something different.

Spotted in Central Park: Blake Lively and her Gossip Girl costar Zuzanna Szadkowski.
Lively, who played Serena van der Woodsen on the long-running CW series from 2007 to 2012, recruited Szadkowski — best-known for her role as Dorota Kishlovsky — for an ad promoting Lively’s canned cocktail brand, Betty Booze. The clip was shared via YouTube on Monday, June 30, and began with the actresses reuniting on a park bench.
“I have tea,” Szadkowski says, playing on the popular fan theory that Dorota should have been Gossip Girl. (Penn Badgley’s Dan was ultimately revealed as the face behind the voice, instead.)
“Good tea?” Lively replies, to which Szadkowski teases, “The best tea.”
Szadkowski then reveals a can of Betty Booze vodka iced tea along with two tea cups. She pours the beverage into the cups, saying, “It’s crisp. Balanced. Nothing artificial.”
“That’s hard to find around these parts,” Lively, 37, says.
“Yeah, no kidding,” Szadkowski, 46, quips.
She then touts a second Betty Booze flavor, a passion fruit vodka iced tea, calling the drink “a naughty little bitch.”
“I drank it on the walk over,” Szadkowski jokes, to which a smiling Lively gushes, “I have missed you.”
Lively then gets up to exit, revealing a pair of sweatpants and Ugg boots hiding under her high-fashion outfit. (The moment seemingly references the now-viral season 6 Gossip Girl episode that accidentally showed Lively sporting cozy clothes under her couture dress during a scene.)
As Gossip Girl fans know all too well, Szadkowski portrayed the housekeeper and confidant of Serena’s frenemy, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), during the show’s original run. Blair, however, was not mentioned in the ad.
More than a decade after the series ended, Lively is still making headlines with her latest projects. Most recently, she starred in 2025’s Another Simple Favor with Anna Kendrick, the sequel to 2018’s A Simple Favor.
Szadkowski, for her part, has since starred in the hit historical series The Gilded Age in 2022 and 2025’s Étoile.
Below Deck‘s Barbara Kulaif made a surprising admission about her experience as a gay woman.
During the Monday, June 30, episode of the hit Bravo series, Barbara found herself forming a connection with Jess Theron, sharing in a confessional, “I don’t remember the last time I was with a gay girl. My ex-girlfriend was straight, and we stayed together for a year and a half.”
“I don’t think I want to be the one again waiting for someone’s time,” she noted. “Sometimes you just feel tired to be with someone that is not sure about you. It is nice that Jess is gay. We have a lot in common and I really like her.”
While Barbara seemed excited at her bond with Jess, the sneak peek for next week’s episode hinted at trouble in paradise. Despite Solène Favreau’s hookup with Kyle Stillie, she will start having second thoughts — and that will leads to her getting in between Barbara and Jess’s potential romance.
Season 12 is already off to a strong start after bringing back Kyle, chief steward Fraser Olender, Captain Kerry Titheradge and now alum Chef Anthony Iracane. Joining the crew were new members Chef Lawrence Snowden, bosun Caio Poltronieri, deckhands Jess and Damo and stews Barbara, Rainbeau de Roos and Solène.
Bravo previously released a synopsis that teased the drama awaiting viewers.
“Known for their unique blend of French and Dutch influences and pristine white sand beaches, the three Caribbean territories surround each other making for an unforgettable, island-hopping charter season,” read the April press release. “This season Captain Kerry demands respect from his crew as they navigate tense work dynamics and tangled love triangles on the high seas.”
In the interior, Fraser’s standards “are higher than ever, but his aim for perfection is sabotaged when his stews’ personalities clash. With more than 15 years of culinary experience, Chef Lawrence brings his fine-dining expertise to the galley. However, when the high-stress environment comes head-to-head with his strong faith, Chef Lawrence contends with his place on the boat.”
The exterior team, meanwhile, is led by Caio who “struggles to manage his team, and when gossip spreads that deckhand Kyle potentially crossed the ultimate line with a charter guest, Captain Kerry must make a tough decision.”
According to Fraser, viewers should expect at least one person getting fired, which, based on Monday’s episode, seems to be Caio. “There are firings. There are hirings,” he teased in May. “There are disasters left, right and center. But I cannot tell you enough how dramatic and how fun this season is. It is nonstop.”
He continued: “I was so excited to get into this season. I think I’ve grown so much since I first started out on the show — and you never know what you’re going to get as a crew. But I just wanted to make sure that out of any season, this one is where I wanted to bring my crew to the best of their ability. I wanted harmony and I wanted love and friendship and peace amongst all the madness. I think we succeeded.”
Below Deck airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
During the Monday, June 30, episode of the hit Bravo series, Solène discussed the “two times” she was in love while on a date with Kyle Stillie.
“It is the best and the worst. That’s why it is love,” she said before elaborating in a confessional. “My first love experience was when I was 22 years old. He left me four times in two years. All that time I was falling in love deeper and deeper. All that time was getting worse and worse.”
“My dad took me to the emergency room because I was so sad that I stopped eating,” she noted. “I couldn’t eat. I would prefer that someone broke my finger than break my heart.”
The stew noted that the experience taught her to be “the opposite of selfish,” adding, “Now I live for me.”
While Solène didn’t elaborate on the second time she was in love, Below Deck viewers know she was previously linked to a Below Deck alum. Solène revealed earlier this season that she once dated Dylan Pierre De Villiers, who appeared in season 11.
“We broke up because he was in another country, so [there was] distance. Even after, I still love him and I was very sad,” she told the cameras. “So now that is why I try to keep everything at no risk. Since Dylan, I’ve never been in love again. I am young, free and I’m not looking for a relationship.”
Solène is currently exploring a connection with Kyle, which led to them sleeping together on Monday’s episode. According to the sneak peek for next week’s episode, however, Solène was already doubting how interested she is in Kyle.
Kyle, for his part, is expected to find a connection elsewhere. The season 12 trailer teased that an upcoming charter will cause issues with Kyle potentially hooking up with a guest at the beach in full view of his coworkers.
Captain Kerry Titheradge later confronted Kyle, who wouldn’t confirm whether he slept with a guest whose husband was on board as well.
“There was an investigation done. I’m not too sure how much of that will be shown, but I did a thorough investigation before I made my decision,” Kerry exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “It will be interesting to see what happens after I interviewed each of the crew members — including what was actually said behind [my back].”
“I don’t get to see what’s going on Below Deck because I’m in the wheelhouse or I’m over here and I can’t be everywhere,” he explained. “I don’t micromanage. I allow my crew to grow and I like to be here and to help encourage people. There’s a lot I don’t see and there’s even more I don’t want to see.”
Chief steward Fraser Olender previously told Us that “things were turbulent” already on St. David before Kyle’s possible hookup.
“I’ve done it before, so I can’t speak on [hooking up with a guest]. What is a hard no is on charter and what is a hard no is potentially engaging in something whilst their married significant other is also around,” Fraser teased in May. “It was definitely [the most explosive thing I have been a part of]. Because this situation then was the catalyst of so many other problems. And this really did spiral into something that no one saw coming. So it’s the beginning of the end. It’s so good though.”
Below Deck airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
Imrul Hassan thinks Bravo did him dirty after he was allegedly cut from several Summer House scenes during his one and only season on the show.
“There’s so much that gets filmed and it doesn’t make the edit because there’s so much that we’re filming throughout the season,” Imrul explained during the Friday, June 27, episode of the “Taylor Taylor Taylor Show” podcast.
The season 9 newcomer claimed, “But I’ve never seen — and I’ve talked to some of the people on the show as well — someone just getting edited out of a whole dinner scene.”
Imrul, who was dubbed “Orgy Beast” by his housemates because of his sexual exploits, noted that he “tried to be respectful to the show and the process” and didn’t think much of his edit while filming.
He pointed out that when he appeared on the season 9 reunion in May, he said, “I don’t think I got the worst edit.”
At the time, Imrul took responsibility for how he was portrayed on camera as well. “There was some fault on my own too. I wasn’t as engaging as I wanted to be and whatever,” he added. “Things that happened through the season.”
Once he watched the full season, however, Imrul felt different about his screen time, claiming he was cut entirely from scenes for no reason.

“To have seen that the last few episodes where they just shut me out — you can still see my shadow in some of them — you know and there’s obviously cast photos from the weekend where I’m clearly there, that felt so disrespectful,” Imrul confessed. “I don’t know if I can get over that. It’s definitely messed up.”
He revealed that during the aforementioned dinner scene he was especially hurt because he was “talking about my school that I was super excited about and they cut that out.” (Imrul founded an English school in his home village in Bangladesh last summer and had the “goal” of using the Summer House “platform” to talk about it.)
While Imrul admitted he had “fun” shooting the show in summer 2024, he claimed Bravo never had a clear path for his story arc.
“It was also a weird season because they had such a strong season with the men the year before, obviously, I had to follow that. They weren’t quite sure what to do with me,” Imrul claimed on the podcast.
He alleged, “One of the calls I got from — the last calls I got from — the producers was, like, ‘Listen, we hate to call somebody part-time you know that’s but like we’re trying to figure out what to do with you.’”

Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.
Throughout season 9 of Summer House, newbie Imrul made a splash for bringing home different girls and never introducing them to his castmates. He was also called “Orgy Beast” because he told the crew about going to sex parties and hooking up with multiple women at one time.
As the season continued, Imrul did share a little about his upbringing and his family, but for the most part it was his sexual exploits that were front and center. During the season 9 reunion, which aired in May, he got real about his nickname and how his family perceived the title.
“I definitely felt like I was pigeonholed a little, but I led with the sex party,” he said of his reputation. “I don’t feel like I’m an orgy beast. I think you have to do more than one [sex party] to be an orgy beast. I’m more of an orgy novice.”
Imrul revealed that his sister-in-law’s family is “religious,” and after seeing his sex life so prominent on the show, he was uninvited to his nephew’s birthday party.
The story took the rest of the cast by surprise, and they admitted they could have done better to ask him non-sex-related questions as well.

Imrul has since announced that he is not returning for a second season of the reality show. “I meant to share this last week, but with everything going on, the timing didn’t feel quite right. I’ve decided not to return for another season of Summer House — I know, shocking!” Imrul wrote via his Instagram Story on June 18. “It was an incredible opportunity, and I truly had a lot of fun.”
He didn’t appear to harbor hard feelings about his run, adding, “I won’t drag this out, but I want to say thank you for all your support — and for supporting my foundation as well. A special shoutout to my castmates for their generous donations and for helping spread the word. Overall, it was a really good experience. Would recommend.”
Imrul’s departure came after fellow season 9 newcomer Lexi Woodannounced her exit and after seven-year veteran Paige DeSorbo revealed she would not be back for season 10.
Orlando Bloom started his week with a motivational message following his split from Katy Perry.
“The important thing is to take that first step,” the actor, 48, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, June 30. “Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.”
Bloom credited his musing as “daily encouragement” from Daisaku Ikeda, who was a Buddhist author.
Before sharing Ikeda’s quote, Bloom also posted another inspirational teaching from Buddha.
“Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters the most,” the quote read.
Bloom’s positive mantra comes nearly a week after Us Weekly confirmed he and Perry, 40, called off their engagement after nearly a decade together.
“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” a source close to the former couple exclusively told Us at the time. “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”
Perry and Bloom dated off and on before getting engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019. The following year, the pair welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020. (Bloom is also father to 14-year-old son Flynn whom he shares with ex Miranda Kerr.)
According to the insider, Perry and Bloom’s split was “a long time coming” as things between them “have been tense for months.” Bloom and Perry had been apart since the pop star kicked off her Lifetimes tour earlier this year.

Perry has found solace in her work since the breakup, as she’s been “keeping busy” on tour. (The singer is currently in the middle of her tour dates in Australia.)
Bloom, for his part, was recently spotted in Venice, Italy to celebrateJeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding over the weekend. (Perry is also good friends with Sánchez’ as she joined the journalist on their space expedition earlier this year.)
“They are still very much in touch and coparenting Daisy together,” the source explained. “Orlando brought Daisy to meet Katy on tour before heading to the Bezos’ wedding. It’s not messy between them.”
The insider added that Bloom and Perry are not “making drastic changes for Daisy’s sake.”
“They will keep their lives in Montecito,” the source added. “They are prioritizing stability and consistency for Daisy.”
Before their split, Bloom spoke candidly about overcoming challenges with Perry over the years.
“I wouldn’t change it for anything, even when sometimes it feels like, ‘How do we do this?’” Bloom said on an April 2024 episode of Trevor Noah’s “What Now?” podcast. “Because we’ve got these two giant careers and lives — and hers is even … it’s like a universe sometimes. But I think I just keep coming back to her and trying to hold her hand and walk her back to the sand pit and be like … we’re just gonna build a sandcastle.”
