The July premiere of “Turner & Hooch” will also debut now on July 21st instead of the 16th. The story will bring live-action comedy to the network, which will pick up where the original film left off in 1989. This time though, the story will follow Hooch as he provides canine companionship to U.S. Marshall Scott Turner, played by Josh Peck.

New original movies will continue to be released on Fridays though to avoid competing with original television releases and to line up with theatrical release dates. Up next to hit the streaming service is Pixar’s “Luca” tomorrow and the long-awaited release of Marvel’s “Black Widow” on July 9th.
