LEGEND announces July 2025 channel premieres
July is an explosive month on LEGEND, with seven high-octane primetime Channel premieres guaranteed to keep audiences on the edge of their sofas.
Leading the way is IN THE LINE OF DUTY, an explosive, round-the clock, real-time thriller starring Aaron Eckhart, and D.O.A., a suspense neo-noir thriller, a remake of the 1950 film, starring Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan and Charlotte Rampling. Also keeping the sparks flying is BURNING RUBBER, a high-speed thriller, staring John Travolta, Michael Madsen and Shania Twain, and TERMINAL VELOCITY, sky-diving gripper starring Charlie Sheen and Nastassja Kinski.
Plus, there is BEST OF THE BEST, an edge of the mat showdown martial art drama starring Eric Roberts. Roberts also stars in BEST OF THE REST 2, where revenge is on the cards for our Tae Kwon Do misfits. Also showing for the first time on the channel is PRIMAL, in which an animal-hunting starring Nicolas Cage is in a fight to the death.
THE FALL GUY, in which Lee Majors stars as Colt Seavers, a maverick Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a bounty hunter, continues its run at weeknights at 7pm, with series 2 kicking off on Thursday 10 July.
