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.
M. Night Shyamalan now envisions his summer thriller—oft-described as "Twin Peaks lite" in its debut season last year—as a three-season story. This middle installment, then, picks up after last year's big reveal, and focuses much of its storytelling on the Abbies. Much of last year's cast will be back in some capacity, albeit with less screentime, as season 2 will focus on newcomers played by Jason Patric and Djimon Hounsou (among others), with a much larger role as well for Hope Davis.
