2025 TCM Summer Under the Stars schedule: when you can watch movies from Audrey Hepburn, Judy Garland, Clark Gable and more

For more than two decades, Turner Classic Movies has dedicated the month of August its Summer Under the Stars program, which spotlights some of the biggest movie stars in film history. That continues with the 2025 TCM Summer Under the Stars slate.

Starting August 1 and going throughout the month, each day will feature movies starring a specific iconic movie star all day long. This year the roster includes Audrey Hepburn, Christopher Plummer, Judy Garland, Clark Gable, Ruby Dee, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Kirk Douglas, Shirley MacLaine and more. Plummer is one of eight stars being featured as part of the month-long program for the first time.

Turner Classic Movies is the cable TV home of some of the greatest movies of all time and presents them uncut and commercial free. The network features one of the largest libraries in the world, so not only is it going to be showing some of the most popular movies from its roster of 31 stars this month, but there are going to be a number of deep cuts from their resumes highlighted as part of the programming.

Watch On

In order to watch TCM's Summer Under the Stars live on TV you need to have a traditional cable subscription or live TV streaming service that carries the network (DirecTV Stream, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV do in the case of the latter). If you've cut the cord or aren't able to watch TCM live on TV, the streaming service HBO Max has a dedicated hub for Turner Classic Movies and likely has many of the movies that are being shown this month available to stream.

That's the basics, so now see what movies are coming across the month with a look at the complete 2025 TCM Summer Under the Stars schedule:
