New Today: Love Is Blind UK, Ocean's Eight & More — July 12

Sunday is here, and while today's streaming calendar is on the lighter side, there's still plenty to dig into — from a reality TV double-header on Peacock to a beloved heist film landing on HBO Max. Here's what's new today, July 12.

Headliner: Love Is Blind: UK — After the Altar (Netflix)

Netflix drops the Love Is Blind: UK reunion follow-up today, catching up with the couples and singles from Season 2 roughly a year after their weddings. The three-episode special checks in on the couples who said "I do" — and those who didn't — while bringing back some familiar faces from Season 1 for added perspective. If you've been following the UK version of the franchise, this is the natural next stop. Production company CPL Productions keeps the same warm-but-dramatic format that made the original After the Altar specials a staple for reality fans.

Also New Today

Ocean's Eight (HBO Max)

Gary Ross's all-star heist comedy lands on HBO Max as a library addition. Sandra Bullock leads an impeccable ensemble — Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Awkwafina, Sarah Paulson, and Helena Bonham Carter — in a stylish Met Gala heist that holds a 69% Tomatometer. It's a slick, rewatchable crowd-pleaser that pairs well with a lazy Sunday evening.

Susana and Elvira: No Plan B (Netflix)

This Colombian romantic comedy follows two estranged best friends who reunite after a fallout abroad to plan a high-profile wedding for the hottest artists in town — with no backup plan. It's a warm, culture-rich comedy about friendship, second chances, and the chaos of wedding planning that should appeal to fans of destination wedding rom-coms.

Iyanu: The War of Twin Princes — Season 2B (HBO Max)

The acclaimed Nigerian-inspired animated series returns with a season-concluding movie. Iyanu, set in the magical kingdom of Yorubaland, follows a teenage orphan uncovering her destiny as a heroine. This finale film — The War of Twin Princes — centers on King Oba Adedeji choosing an heir between his twin sons, with the fate of the kingdom at stake. The series has drawn comparisons to Avatar: The Last Airbender for its rich world-building and emotional storytelling.

Though I Am an Inept Villainess (Hulu)

Anime fans get a new premiere today. Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court — produced by Doga Kobo (Oshi no Ko) — follows a body-swap plot where a scorned maiden and a beloved court favorite must navigate palace intrigue after a forbidden magic spell goes wrong. Directed by Mitsue Yamazaki, it's a promising addition to the villainess anime subgenre.

Tonight on Peacock

Peacock has a big reality night with two major events. Love Island USA Season 8 crowns its winning couple in the finale at 9 PM ET, with Ariana Madix revealing America's vote and the $100,000 prize. Meanwhile, Married at First Sight Season 20 premieres with a milestone season set in Seattle, introducing new experts Paul C. Brunson and Dr. Lisa Paz, and seven couples marrying at first sight. Both shows are exclusive to Peacock.
