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 fourth season of the hit Netflix dramedy (which was recently renewed through season 7) will find Blair Brown's Martha Stewart-esque character factoring more into the story at Litchfield after appearing briefly last year. Jackie Cruz (who plays Flaca) has been upped to series regular, and the coming season will also feature an episode directed by Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner.
