‘Tour de France: Unchained,' Plus 9 Things to Watch on TV this Week

New York Times9 hours ago

Between streaming and cable, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are airing or streaming this week, June 30-July 6. Details and times are subject to change.
Wide-ranging documentaries.
On July 7, 2005, London's public transportation system was targeted in an attack that involved four suicide bombings during morning rush hour. The terrorist attack killed 52 people and nearly 800 were injured. The new four-part documentary series 'Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers' shares unseen footage and features interviews with politicians, emergency workers and relatives of the victims to tell the story of the attack and the aftermath. Streaming Tuesday on Netflix.
The summer Olympics happen once every four years, but if you are looking for a yearly sport to get invested in, the Tour de France might be for you. Airing on NBC and streaming on Peacock this month, the annual men's race, with multiple stages over the course of approximately 2,000 miles and 23 days, not only tests the endurance of athletes but also provides scenic views around France. A new season of the documentary series 'Tour de France: Unchained' gives an in-depth look at the 2024 race, following several different teams and athletes. Streaming Wednesday on Netflix.
In 1971, Ms. magazine was co-founded by Gloria Steinem and was first published as an insert in New York magazine. By January 1972, the first stand-alone issue was released on a monthly basis. The three-part series 'Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print' looks at the magazine's founding and its history as a publication that focuses on women-centered issues, including abortion, work balance and sexual politics in a primarily male-dominated space. The documentary also features interviews with Steinem, her co-founders Letty Cottin Pogrebin and Pat Carbine, and the first editor of the magazine, Suzanne Braun Levine. Wednesday at 9 p.m. on HBO and streaming on Max.
Reality check-in.
If you thought we had seen enough of this group of Swig-sipping, drama-creating ladies of MomTok, you were sorely mistaken. Nearly two months since the second season aired, the women of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' are back for a reunion this week, hosted by Nick Viall of 'The Bachelor' fame. Lots of fights, feuds and snarky quips have continued with the group after the show has aired, so there is lots left to discuss. Let's just hope that no one makes them play another round of pregnancy test roulette. Streaming Tuesday on Hulu.

Lens announce return to old transfer strategy

The days of buying an Elye Wahi for €30m or an Andy Diouf for €14m are over at RC Lens, the club's new sporting director has announced. The spending in the wake of the club's UEFA Champions League qualification did not pay off. In fact, they are still paying for it, and it has given rise to a period of austerity at the club, which came into force under Will Still last season. Advertisement Lens, like many clubs in France, continue to struggle with the financial implications of the ongoing TV rights deal. DAZN was the main broadcaster last season but their deal has been cut short after just one season. The LFP are now launching their own channel and are looking to associate themselves with partners ahead of the coming season. The body have, however, admitted that it will be a difficult season financially, with limited TV revenue. Within this context, the new sporting director, Jean-Louis Leca, has announced a return to the old strategy. 'The [version of] Lens that performed well is the one that bought Loïc Badé intelligently, the one that went out and bought Jonathan Clauss, the one that intelligently loaned Arnaud Kalimuendo, without even speaking about the opportunities [seized] by signing Seko Fofana and Deiver Machado in Ligue 2 from Toulouse,' he said in a press conference transcribed by Foot Mercato journalist Sébastien Denis. He added, 'When we went and bought Kevin Danso and Facundo Medina, no one had heard of them. They were transfers worth €3/4/5m. If we can do good deals, we won't hold back, but the version of Lens that performed best was not the one that spent €25-30m because that isn't Lens.' GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Brit Sonay Kartal upsets Jelena Ostapenko in Wimbledon first round

Six days after Grand Slam champion Jelena Ostapenko beat Sonay Kartal at Eastbourne, the British No. 3 got revenge in the best possible way. Kartal recorded a shock Wimbledon victory over her seeded opponent at the All England Club, beating Ostapenko 7-5, 2-6, 6-2. The 23-year-old established herself on the grass courts of SW19 last year, when she got to the third round while ranked No. 298 in the world. That year she went out to Coco Gauff. The early signs this year show that Kartal is once again well up for putting on a show in front of her home crowd, and a run in the tournament could see her break into the world's top 50. Advertisement In the unforgiving heat, Kartal restricted Ostapenko's trademark, flat-hitting power to impose her own tricky game on the Latvian, holding firm in some nervy moments to earn one of her most impressive career victories to date. 'That was one of the toughest matches I have played. I struggle against the big hitters, she beat me easily last week,' Kartal said courtside. 'Thank you to everyone for coming out. 'After the year I had last year, I am happy to put myself under pressure to succeed. Last year I left this tournament feeling a different player. I want to see how far I can go this week.' Kartal immediately fell a break behind in the opening set, going 5-2 and then 5-4 down. With Ostapenko holding three set points for the opener, the Brit clawed her way back into contention. With the momentum on her side, Kartal charged ahead, claiming another break and holding to 15 for the set. Advertisement Ostapenko responded well, romping to parity by taking the second set within 33 minutes. Two straightforward breaks were enough to level the match, seemingly putting herself in pole position to come from a set down. But Ostapenko, who twisted her ankle ahead of Wimbledon and was a doubt until late into last week, could not regain her footing. Kartal instead dominated the third set, securing three consecutive breaks to put herself in a near insurmountable position. Serving for a bagel set, she appeared to let the pressure show as she was broken to 15 in a nervy-looking few moments. But despite Ostapenko's subsequent hold, the No. 20 seed could not prevent the Brit from sealing the match on serve. The jubilant crowd on the No. 2 Court jumped to their feet following the first British success story of the tournament. Kartal's victory over Daria Kasatkina at Queen's earlier this month represented just her second win over top-20 opposition, and while Ostapenko is ranked just one place outside that category, it represents a big scalp for the Brit. Viktoriya Tomova now stands in the way of Kartal's matching last year's breakthrough Wimbledon run. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.

Who's in the Royal Box at Wimbledon? David Beckham among celebrities on Centre Court on day one

Sir David Beckham was among the first famous faces spotted at Wimbledon as the world's most prestigious tennis tournament got underway in SW19. The former England football captain, who was recently knighted, arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club with his mum Sandra. The 50-year-old looked effortlessly stylish in a sharp navy suit as he posed for photos and greeted staff before taking his seat in the Royal Box. Beckham also posed for a selfie with tennis legend Maria Sharapova, which was shared on X account OneTennis. 'Sharapova. Beckham. #Wimbledon. Enough said.' the accompanying caption said, along with a tennis ball and strawberry emoji. Sharapova. Beckham. #Wimbledon. Enough said. 🎾🔥 — OneTennis (@tennis_photos) June 30, 2025 The pair were among the early celebrity arrivals helping to launch the opening day of this year's tournament. It marked a special outing for Sandra Beckham, who appeared delighted to be enjoying a day courtside with her son. The pair have often been spotted at Wimbledon over the years, with David calling it one of his 'favourite events of the summer.' Also in attendance was former England football manager Sir Gareth Southgate, who arrived solo and gave a friendly wave to spectators. He shared a joke with Beckham in the Royal Box. Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne was seen arriving in a smart suit with wife Hannah and appeared in good spirits as he joined the action from the stands. A long-time Wimbledon fan, Redmayne is regularly spotted at Centre Court throughout the fortnight. Cricket star Stuart Broad, who retired from professional play in 2023, also made an appearance. Now carving out a career in commentary, Broad looked relaxed as he chatted with fellow guests and enjoyed the sunshine. Wimbledon is famed not only for its elite tennis but also for its A-list spectators – and with the likes of Beckham and Sharapova kicking off the festivities, this year's tournament promises glamour, drama, and plenty of star power.
