The Twelve: Season 2 (July 11)
We weren’t expecting a follow-up season to 2022’s prestige Australian series, one of Binge’s most sophisticated local offerings so far. But we’re stoked to see Sam Neill return as genius barrister Brett Colby. Our setting switches to Western Australia, where a landowner has been found at the bottom of a well, with her daughter and farmhand accused of the shocking murder. Colby’s connection to another barrister (Frances O’Connor) could complicate things, and the new batch of jurors from all walks of Australian life won’t make the verdict any easier, either.
My Adventures with Superman: Season 2 (July 21)
Superman is a deceptively tough character to write. He’s almost entirely invincible, and really has no faults, unlike the moody brute Batman or emotional girlboss hero Wonder Woman. This sweet, family-oriented animated series takes the wise approach of setting back the clock to the big blue boy scout’s early 20s, showing him learn and come of age as both a hero and a fledgling reporter. As he and Lois develop their budding relationship, boy reporter Jimmy Olsen is only just arriving on the scene, and there’s a consistent through-line of Superman’s enduring love for humanity, despite being born alien to it. A nice gateway drug for your kids, or an uplifting watch for comic book nerds of all ages.

Relax, I’m From The Future (July 10)
Murray from Flight of the Conchords might be the worst possible person to receive the life-changing (and history-changing) powers of time travel. But that’s exactly what this sci-fi comedy posits, pitting Rhys Darby’s bumbling hero against a present-day grifter character for laughs and future-shaking mishaps. Based on the director’s own 2013 short film, the amusing new film questions what we consider worth saving, and our responsibility to those who come after us, once Darby’s man of the future winds up trapped in the precarious now. With a more competent time traveller on the trail of the new friends, they’ll be forced to make history—or perhaps shape it in their own image.
Miller’s Girl (July 15)
This dark university thriller has copped some pretty negative reviews, with both critics and audiences giving it a fetid rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But hey, current It Girl and Wednesday star Jenna Ortega appears in a leading, dramatic role, so that’s a solid reason to tune in. She plays the favourite student of a creative writing professor (Martin Freeman), and their sympatico literary passions lead to troubling closeness and accusations. Clearly the film reflects anxieties surrounding the #MeToo movement, and predatory behaviours in academia in particular: if the film itself doesn’t execute these big ideas successfully, at least it might lead to some cogent conversations after watching.
