‘Sausage Party: Foodtopia’ Season 1
Starts streaming: July 11

This sequel series to the raunchy 2016 animated comedy “Sausage Party” begins in the aftermath of that movie’s climactic battle between sentient supermarket foods and the humans who consume them. Seth Rogen (who also cocreated the franchise) returns as the voice of Frank, a hot dog who alongside his girlfriend/bun Brenda (Kristen Wiig) has to figure out how to build and lead a new society, for the benefit of all foodstuffs. The original film’s sex-obsessed Pixar parody gives way here to more of a political satire, as the well-meaning sausages try to prevent their friends from succumbing to anarchy or authoritarianism.

‘Betty la Fea, The Story Continues’
Starts streaming: July 19

One of the most popular TV series ever produced, the Colombian telenovela “Yo soy Betty, la fea” has been adapted dozens of times, all over the world — including in the United States as “Ugly Betty.” Now much of the original’s cast members and characters return for a sequel, set over 20 years after their story began. In “The Story Continues,” Betty (Ana María Orozco) comes home to the fashion house where she started her rags-to-riches rise and met her now-estranged husband, Armando (Jorge Enrique Abello). While dealing with bittersweet memories and some familiar old rivalries, Betty once again has to fight to be respected for her sharp mind and kind heart, in an industry that tends to value superficiality and swagger.

‘Snowpiercer’ Season 4
Starts streaming: July 21

After three seasons on TNT, the fourth and final season of this postapocalyptic thriller moves to AMC, completing the saga of a heavily stratified society ripe for a revolution. Adapted from Bong Joon Ho’s 2013 film (itself adapted from a comic book series originated in 1982 by the writer Jacques Lob and the illustrator Jean-Marc Rochette), “Snowpiercer” stars Daveed Diggs as Andre Layton, one of the masses of underclass citizens who once were living in squalor on a massive passenger train, speeding across a ruined, ice-covered Earth. At the end of Season 3, Layton’s band of rebels went literally off the rails to found a new democratic community; but as the new season begins, they realize that their old nemeses from the train aren’t going to leave them alone.
