Irish Gang Saga, Netflix Western, and Anime: Next Week's Series Premieres

The upcoming week, from July 6 to 12, will see the release of five new series across major streaming services and television networks. The diverse slate includes a gritty crime saga, a nostalgic historical drama, a relatable Russian comedy, a poignant British series about adoption, and a futuristic Japanese anime.

Headlining the releases is "The Vestiges," a crime drama premiering July 12. Set in the volatile 1980s, the series follows the Irish "Vestiges" gang as they attempt to seize control of a lucrative construction contract for a New York conference center. Their ambitious boss, Eamon Sweeney, devises a scheme that promises immense wealth, but it puts them in direct conflict with the established Italian mafia. The gang's quest for power is further complicated by internal strife between the old guard and ambitious younger members, leading to a brutal war for influence and a struggle against betrayal from within.

Netflix is set to release "Little House on the Prairie" on July 9. This western follows the Ingalls family as they leave their Wisconsin home for the Kansas prairies. The series promises to depict their challenges in building a new life, facing illnesses, and navigating relationships with indigenous populations, all while striving to maintain their family bonds. Showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine, known for "The Boys," aims for a more faithful adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books than the 1974 version.

Adding to the lineup are "Pasha," a Russian comedy premiering July 10, about a 32-year-old Moscow native who discovers his Uzbek heritage and must re-evaluate his life. Apple TV+'s "Trying," a British comedy, returns for its fifth season on July 8, continuing to explore a young couple's journey through the adoption process. Finally, "Ghost in the Shell," a Japanese anime set in 2029, premieres July 7, delving into a future where the lines between humans and machines are blurred.
