TL;DR

July 5–11, 2026 brings Inspector Ellis S2 (Acorn TV), Trying S5 (Apple TV), Little House on the Prairie (Netflix), The Five Star Weekend (Peacock), The Man Will Burn (HBO), Big Brother S28 (CBS) and the Star City S1 finale (Apple TV).

Six premieres, a season finale and six platforms in one week. July 5–11, 2026 is packed, and the shows are scattered across streaming and broadcast alike, which is exactly the kind of week TVGO's live TV guide was built for. Here's everything premiering, day by day, and how to make sure you catch your picks.

Monday and Wednesday: A Quiet Start

The week eases in on Monday, July 6, when Inspector Ellis returns for Season 2 on Acorn TV, good news for British crime-drama fans. Then on Wednesday, July 8, the warm-hearted comedy Trying is back with Season 5 on Apple TV.

Two shows, two different services, two days apart. Already juggling? Open TVGO's guide, save both, and let the app's reminder timelines handle the schedule.

Thursday: The Big Premiere Pile-Up

Thursday, July 9 is the day this week gets out of hand, with four premieres at once:

  • Little House on the Prairie arrives on Netflix, a new take on the classic that's sure to dominate watercooler talk.
  • The Five Star Weekend premieres on Peacock for the book-club crowd.
  • The Man Will Burn debuts on HBO at 9pm, a four-part docuseries going behind the scenes of Burning Man.
  • Big Brother kicks off Season 28 on CBS at 8pm: appointment television with a live premiere you can't catch up on later.

Four platforms in one night, two with fixed clock times. Nobody tracks that in their head. In TVGO, Thursday is just one screen: the live guide shows all four side by side, and a tap saves each one with a reminder.

Friday: A Finale to Close the Week

On Friday, July 10, Star City wraps its first season with the Season 1 finale on Apple TV. If you've been watching, this is the one date this week you truly can't miss, so save it in TVGO and the app will make sure you don't. Finales are also when spoilers spread fastest the next morning, which makes this the one reminder of the week worth setting first.

One Guide for the Whole Week, and the Remote Too

This is a normal week in modern TV: premieres sprayed across Acorn TV, Apple TV, Netflix, Peacock, HBO, and CBS. TVGO pulls them into a single live guide, and every saved title gets a reminder timeline that alerts you before it airs. Then comes the closing move no other guide has: TVGO doubles as a universal remote, pairing with your TV or streaming box over your home Wi-Fi. When the 8pm reminder fires on Thursday, the app that reminded you is the app that turns the TV on.
