Summer TV Preview: 23 New & Returning Shows
You may need to schedule some indoor time this summer, or at least clear out some space on your DVR. The coming months will see the returns of critical favorites such as Mr. Robot, You're the Worst, Orange Is the New Black, UnReal, and Difficult People, as well as the debuts of new series from Maria Bamford, Robert Kirkman, Baz Luhrmann, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and Cameron Crowe. Other newcomers include what could be HBO's best new drama in years, the most popular show in Italian TV history, and a remake of TV's most-watched miniseries.
We've picked out 23 key summer programs below. For information on other upcoming TV debuts, visit our TV Premiere Calendar.
The Good Wife has ended, but creators Robert and Michelle King have already prepped their next CBS series. And BrainDead is certainly a different kind of political thriller than their former show. Here, for example, sinister alien bugs are eating the brains of members of Congress and their staffers. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Tony Shalhoub, Danny Pino, and Aaron Tveit star in this darkly comedic 13-episode series.
