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.
A loose adaptation of Peter Moffat's 2008 BBC series Criminal Justice, this eight-part crime drama from Steven Zaillian and Richard Price was originally intended as a starring vehicle for James Gandolfini. After his death, Robert De Niro signed on to star, but then had to back out due to a scheduling conflict. Instead, John Turturro takes the lead as a defense attorney whose Pakistani client (Nightcrawler's Riz Ahmed, pictured) stands accused of murdering a woman on New York's Upper West Side. Zaillian directs all but one episode of a series that has great early buzz coming out of its Tribeca premiere.
