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.
Ellen Barkin, Scott Speedman, and Shawn Hatosy star in a 10-episode drama series inspired by the acclaimed 2010 feature film about a family of criminals. The story here will take place in a California beach town rather than in Australia, with an emphasis more on the intra-family relationships than on their crimes (though the various family members will still be up to no good). The adaptation comes from Jonathan Lisco (Damages) and veteran producer John Wells, who previously worked together on Southland.
