Transmissions from Pluto: Coming to Pluto July 2025

 

We’re deep into summer, and Pluto TV is keeping things hot with blockbuster movies, big TV moments, and a few festive surprises. July brings the next wave of our Summer of Cinema celebration, live Big Brother feeds straight from the house, and a spotlight on the All Women’s Sports Network, co-founded by Whoopi Goldberg.

And because we never say no to a little holiday magic, we’re bringing Christmas in July to life with cheerful programming across multiple channels all month long.

Here’s what’s streaming free this month.


SUMMER OF CINEMA

Pluto TV's Summer of Cinema programming initiative rolls into its second month with an impressive lineup of blockbusters, cult classics, and franchise favorites. The tentpole initiative features hundreds of fan-favorite films spanning action, drama, comedy, and sci-fi, with new popular titles being added throughout the season.

Special Events and Programming Highlights

Clueless 30th Anniversary Celebration: The beloved '90s classic gets the royal treatment this month in honor of its milestone anniversary. Clueless is available on-demand throughout July, with special programming events including a takeover of the Pluto TV Comedy channel on July 1st and a triple-feature marathon on 90s Throwback channel on July 19th.

With Summer of Cinema, Pluto TV proves you don’t need a paid subscription to stream the big stuff. Just free, premium movies all summer long.


Whoopi Goldberg on AWSN and Pluto TV


In a recent interview with Pluto TV, Whoopi Goldberg opened up about what inspired her to co-found the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN) — and why bringing it to Pluto TV just made sense.

The Partnership
“The truth of the matter is, Pluto chose us — and we couldn’t be prouder… It aligns with our mission to make women’s sports accessible for everybody.”

Why She Started AWSN
“It was really my big brother. He played every sport on the planet. But it was never something little girls could do. For 15, 16 years, I’ve been trying to get someone to pay attention. Someone finally did.”

What Sets AWSN Apart
“It’s all women. Period. That’s the thing. It doesn’t exist. We brought it into the world — and it’s a bad mama jamma.”

Changing the Sports Narrative
“I want it to change into just normal behavior. Not ‘oh my god, we’re doing women’s sports.’ We’re not ‘other.’ We’re normal.”

Programming She Loves
“I love roller derby. There are roller derby teams all over the world. There are so many games people don’t even know exist, and they’ll have you on the edge of your seat.”

AWSN's Global Mission
“It was almost more important that we reached other countries first. There are women doing amazing things in sports, sometimes in places where that’s all they’re allowed to do. We want to help put some balance in the world.”

Now streaming free on Pluto TV for fans everywhere.
 

BIG BROTHER LIVE

This July, we’re bringing the drama live with the return of our annual Big Brother Live category, timed to the premiere of Season 27 on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. All season long, fans can tune in 24/7 to five dedicated channels streaming straight from inside the Big Brother house — including four room-specific feeds and a quad-view channel that captures every angle. From whispered alliances to midnight meltdowns, no moment is off-limits.

And for those who love a throwback? The Big Brother single-series channel streams 24/7 with past seasons, offering the ultimate summer binge for superfans and new recruits alike.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

This July, Pluto TV is bringing holiday cheer to the height of summer with a month-long Christmas in July celebration. Across many of our channels and On Demand, viewers can enjoy festive favorites, cozy classics, and even a few unexpected seasonal twists, all streaming for free.

"Bringing Devon to Pluto TV as an exclusive is such a full-circle moment for me. This film is my baby and my stepping stone into a world I always wanted to work in, and I couldn't be more proud to share it with a platform that values powerful storytelling." - Jenni Farley

View From the Peak - Everything Coming to Paramount+ in July 2025

 

When it's time to come in from the sun, Paramount+ will be serving up brand-new series, seasons and movies to take your summer streaming watchlist to new heights. Don't miss the epic return of Dexter in the highly anticipated new series Dexter: Resurrection with Michael C. Hall reprising the iconic role, the season three premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, all the drama of CBS' Big Brother season 27, and 25 years of Dora with a new original feature-length movie Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado and DORA season three. 

For a closer look at all the entertainment coming to Paramount+ in July, check out the latest edition of View from the Peak.


BEHIND
THE STREAMS

James Remar and Michael C. Hall in Dexter: Resurrection 
 

Everyone's favorite serial killer is back from the dead in the highly anticipated premiere of Dexter: Resurrection. Picking up after Michael C. Hall's titular character takes a bullet for his son Harrison (played by Jack Alcott) in Dexter: New Blood, the latest iteration of the serially thrilling story will include a few familiar faces - most notably David Zayas, who returns to play the beloved Angel Batista. 

In Dexter: Resurrection, Zayas is stepping back into Detective Angel Batista's shoes as a series regular. "The integrity and heart in Batista has just gotten stronger, and life experience along with new revelations have made him that much more focused on the task at hand," said Zayas. "It felt amazing to go back to this character after so many years - especially with all the new information that he's learned. We have the best crew working on this show and working with everyone again reminded me why this show is so special." 

A younger Batista was recently introduced in the 2024 prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, which shed more light on the beloved character, both for fans and for Zayas. "James Martinez did such a great job portraying a younger Angel Batista. It was great to watch his interpretation, and it actually helped me understand Batista that much more." 

The fan-favorite detective has always been close to the truth about Dexter so will he finally confront what he might have missed in this revival? "I feel there is no other option but to confront the absolute truth of what he has missed after so many years," explains Zayas. "How he manifests that information is part of the exciting season that the viewers will share with Batista." 

Catch David Zayas on the baseball field throwing the first pitch at the Subway Series game on July 5, then head over to Paramount+ to catch up on all your favorite episodes of Dexter* before the chilling story continues with Dexter: Resurrection* on July 11.

IN THE 
SPOTLIGHT

Martin Quinn in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 
 

Get ready to explore new galaxies this summer when the U.S.S. Enterprise returns to Paramount+ with the season three premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. We reconnect with the crew while they're still under the command of Captain Pike as they face the conclusion of season two's harrowing encounter with the Gorn. But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test their grit and resolve. An exciting twist on the classic Star Trek, season three takes characters both new and beloved to new heights. 

We had a chance to chat with series newcomer and Scottish actor Martin Quinn, who portrays the brilliant, quick thinking Lieutenant Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, to find out more about his thrilling adventures on and off screen since joining the series. 

  • Following Scotty's epic debut in the season two finale, what has the experience been like to return as a series regular and bring such an iconic character back to the screen? 

    It's been great fun bringing Scotty back on screen - first of all, the writers have been so gracious allowing me to suggest my authentic Scottish phrasing. The casting department also really took the pressure off early on by encouraging me to bring myself to the role rather than emulate what came before. I have to say, being a series regular this time around has made me enjoy it even more. You feel part of the team - a cog in such a well-oiled machine (oh, that rhymes!). You develop a shorthand, not just with the cast or writers, but with our amazingly versatile crew. As a result, I've become so much more free and relaxed on set. I can confidently play around with the character and really sink my teeth in. I just hate days when I'm not filming and someone else is...I get the worst FOMO. It feels like I've been benched and I'm just waiting to get back on the pitch. 

  • What can you share about Scotty's storyline this season that you're excited for fans to see?  

    Even though he wouldn't like to admit it, Scotty's confidence has taken a hit. He's new on this ship and eager to prove himself but being the newbie isn't easy - especially with your old teacher breathing down your neck. That would be daunting for anyone. And with everything he went through at the end of season two, I think he's got a long way to go before he becomes the miracle-worker we all know and love from The Original Series. What's nice is that, as I've been finding my feet as a member of this well-established cast, Scotty has also been finding his feet as part of his crew. So, we had a lot more in common than I initially thought. I mean, I'm an idiot compared to Scotty but there are some similarities beyond just our accent - and that's been nice. I hope the audience enjoys the journey as much as I did. 

Get to the ship! The new season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premieres July 17 with two episodes. New episodes will be available to stream every week, exclusively on Paramount+.
