Summer 2014 Premiere Dates: July

Now that June is in the rearview mirror, the summer television season can get into full swing and it looks as if July is filled to the brim with new series on the broadcast, cable, and premium networks. This year, TVHackr is giving you monthly premiere dates for the warmest time of the year, with the primary focus being original on-going scripted and reality series. Not included are specials, awards ceremonies, miniseries, sporting events, and season/series finales, while notable scripted programming to bow during this time period includes FX’s Guillermo del Toro-created The Strain, WGN America period drama Manhattan, and dystopian Lifetime drama The Lottery.

A full list of July season/series premieres with date, time, and network attached can be found below. An August list will be published either later this month or early next month.
